The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) chairman TG Sitharam recently launched a placement portal aimed at providing job opportunities for students from rural and tribal areas.
The portal launch was attended by more than 600 AICTE-approved universities, along with AICTE member secretary Rajive Kumar
coordinating officer Buddha Chandrasekhar, and representatives from various companies including Salesforce, Service Now, Phytec, Medini, and IDS.
Sitharam emphasized the significance of the initiative, highlighting the lack of job opportunities in remote areas and the untapped potential of students in these regions.
The portal, designed to be user-friendly and accessible even for those with limited internet access
offers features such as job listings, career guidance, networking tools, and resources for employers interested in hiring rural students.
Over 2,000 companies across different sectors have already partnered with the portal,
indicating its potential to bridge the gap between rural students and employment opportunities
fostering a more inclusive and equitable economy.
