The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship organised West Bengal's first Kaushal Mahotsav in Balurghat to connect local youth directly with employers.
What happens at a Kaushal Mahotsav?
It functions like a large employment and skills fair where candidates meet recruiters, attend interviews and explore job opportunities across sectors.
The programme was organised with the National Skill Development Corporation and the State government.
