Welcoming the IT policy in the State, Congress youth leader Sachin Parab urged IT Minister Rohan Khaunte to expedite work on the Tuem Electronic Manufacturing Cluster (EMC) to provide 10,000 jobs as promised.
Speaking to reporters, Parab said Pernem taluka is facing serious problems of unemployment, as youth still search for jobs after pursuing higher studies.
“Everyone won’t get government jobs and they have to move out in search of private jobs. As there are no jobs in Pernem taluka, youths are forced to work in hotels in coastal areas with meagre salaries,” he added.
“In order to solve unemployment problem in Pernem taluka, then chief minister Laxmikant Parsekar had planned the Tuem EMC which could provide around 20,000 jobs. Prime minister Narendra Modi had laid foundation stone for the project one-and-half years ago and yet, initial work has not even begun yet.”
“This project is crucial in terms of employment and the IT minister should look into the matter and give Pednekars the employment that they deserve,” stated Parab.
