In a major outreach to the young voters in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh, the Congress has promised to build a "jobs calendar" if voted to power in the upcoming assembly election.
The calendar will advertise the dates of recruitment tests, interviews and appointments. The Congress has also said it will ensure the recruitment process is completed within six months of the date of announcement of the jobs.
The Congress is going to the assembly polls with a campaign focusing on women and young voters.
The announcement was made during the launch of the "Youth Manifesto", called "Bharti Vidhan".
Sharing some details about the “job calendar” on the Koo app, the party wrote, "A job calendar will be created in which the date of examination, interview, appointment will be mentioned for each recruitment. The appointment will take place within six months from date to publication of vacancy."
The Congress has also mentioned that recruitment drives will be conducted to fill one lakh posts in the police department. For aspiring doctors, job notification will be released for 6000 posts.
