“Our society is going through a great challenge with regards to employment and everybody should understand that, the government cannot provide jobs to all. There is need to change our mentality from 'Being a job seeker' to 'a job giver'. There are many opportunities for our population to get into various businesses. But, due to our wrong notion about employment, we are not trying to grab the opportunities," said Satish Kumar at his inaugural speech at the Employment Generation Centre (Rojgar Srujan Kendra) opened at Ramanata Crisna Pai Raikar School of Agriculture, Savoi-Verem. The centre, established as a nationwide campaign for Swavalambi Bharat Abhiyan (SBA), is first of its kind in Goa.
