Department of Employment, Haryana has inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the M3M Foundation to facilitate online preparation, training and mentoring for government jobs to students. The MoU was signed between Seema Kaushik, Director, Department of employment Haryana and Dr. Payal Kanodia, Trustee, M3M Foundation at Haryana Niwas in Chandigarh. Hon’ble Haryana Deputy Chief Minister Shri Dushyant Chautala graced the occasion.
The objective of the MoU is to build and strengthen the partnership between both institutions to enable students to access quality preparation for entrance examinations of government jobs. The MoU aligns with the vision of the Haryana government to link one lakh candidates to government jobs within and outside the state in the next two years.
Through this MoU, a program will be run to select 50,000 candidates for online training based on their past performance in government examinations in the state. As per the MoU, M3M Foundation will fund the initiative, identify, select and hire suitable students and undertake a periodic review of the implementation of the program. The MoU is valid for 18 months.
While interacting with media persons, Mr. Dushyant Chautala said that this MoU will prove to be a milestone in preparing the talented youth of the state for government jobs. Under this, in the first phase, 50,000 meritorious candidates will be given coaching for Group-C and Group-D jobs through online programmes, which will include 70 percent youth from rural areas and 30 percent from urban areas. He said that through this new platform, online coaching will be given to those youth who have given various competitive examinations conducted under Haryana Staff Selection Commission and have missed being selected by a very thin margin. He said that the progress of their preparation will be reviewed every week and every month, out of which there is a plan to prepare the top 1,000 youth for Group-A and Group-B jobs by giving live coaching.
While giving detailed information in this regard, the Deputy Chief Minister said that under this, 'Grade Stack Learning Private Limited (Gradeup)' platform has been created by M3M Foundation to provide online coaching which will provide a web-link to the employment department to register the candidates. He said that for the first batch, 50,000 candidates will be provided video lectures, quizzes, mock tests, previous question papers and other course material for 18 months. A candidate can select 3 courses or examinations such as Banking & Insurance, SSC & Railways, CDS & Defense etc. to access the material. A dashboard will be made available to the Employment Department to show the performance of the candidates in the Gradeup Monthly Mock Examination. Mock tests of the candidates will be conducted through the study of dashboard and weekly data, in which the candidates who perform well will be transferred from the low performing batches.
Dr. Payal Kanodia, Trustee, M3M Foundation, said: “We are proud and honoured to partner with the Department of Employment, Haryana in an endeavour to make the youth employable and self-reliant and augment the efforts towards ‘Aatma Nirbhar Bharat.
