Although lots of projects are coming up in the state and many of them have been implemented, but in proportion to that the employments from the state has not been scaling up. Lots of engineering graduates in the state are still jobless and many of them are still migrating to other cities like bangalore, pune etc. We need to find a way how many diploma holders/graduates from the state are getting placed in these companies and also has to frame policies to employ skilled/semi-killed people from the state.
