The Jharkhand government on Monday distributed job offer letters to over 11,850 youths during employment fair at Hazaribag district in Jharkhand. The event was organised on the Vinoba Bhave University campus, where state Labour Minister Satyanand Bhokta, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Alamgir Alam and local MLAs distributed the offer letters to youths.
The Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren was also scheduled to distribute the letters but could not make it to the programme due to some reasons, informed Hazaribag Deputy Commissioner Nancy Sahay.
An official from CM's secretariat stated that Soren arrived at Ranchi around 4 PM on Monday from New Delhi, where he attended a dinner hosted by President Droupadi Murmu for the G20 summit on Saturday.
