KORAPUT: Rayagada Police have provided jobs to 50 tribal youths in a Hyderabad-based SEW Infrastructure, a construction company. It is an effort by the police to bring back misguided tribal youths to the mainstream.
Officials said the district police headquarters received around 400 applications from tribal youths for the 50 posts. "The response was beyond our expectations. Applicants outnumbered the number of posts. We selected youths from the most inaccessible and Maoist-hit pockets of the district," the SP said.
The youths will be absorbed in the posts of site-supervisor, surveyor, tradesman, etc in the company with an initial salary between Rs 4,500 and 5,500 with free bachelor accommodation, subsidized food, medical insurance, GPF, annual bonus and productivity-linked incentive.
Police said the credentials of the company have been verified and the youths have been provided placement with help of the Kalinga Institute of Social Science (KISS), Bhubaneswar, that has a tie-up with the company. Though one has to be a Class X pass out to join in any post of the company, but special relaxations were made for the tribal youths as most of them are high school dropouts. Out of the 50 youths, 47 have studied up to Class VIII.
"These youths will undergo free training of 90 days at the company's campus in Hyderabad. Once they complete their training they will be absorbed in the company permanently," Krishna said. The SP said the campaign also aims to improve the relation between the people and police.
