Elaborate arrangements for Huzurnagar Mega Job Mela as turnout exceeds 40,000

Hyderabad: Elaborate arrangements are in place for the Huzurnagar Mega Job Mela, which begins October 25, after registrations crossed 40,000. The event, now extended to two days, will feature 275 companies from local, national, and international sectors.

Overwhelming response forces schedule extension

The job mela was initially planned as a one-day event. However, by Friday evening, over 36,000 youth had registered. With final numbers projected to cross 40,000, organisers decided to extend the mela to ensure smooth operations.

Minister for Irrigation and Civil Supplies N. Uttam Kumar Reddy reviewed the preparations at the venue on Friday. He was accompanied by senior officials from the District Employment and Training Centre and Singareni Collieries.

“To avoid overcrowding and ensure every candidate gets a fair chance, we extended the event to a second day,” said Minister Uttam. “The response shows the confidence youth have in the Congress government.”

Minister assures fair process, appeals for patience

The minister urged candidates to remain calm, assuring that all interviews would take place in a phased and systematic manner. “Everyone who has registered will get a fair opportunity. There is no need for any rush or anxiety,” he said.

He called the participation of 275 companies a major achievement, especially for a rural region like Huzurnagar. “It is a very positive development that so many companies have come forward to provide opportunities in such a remote area,” he added.

Government aims to bridge rural-urban job divide

Officials noted that this is the first job fair of such magnitude being held in a remote rural area of Telangana. The initiative is part of the Congress government’s broader mission to generate employment and reduce the rural-urban gap.

“Employment generation is not just a promise; it is a core resolution of the Congress Party,” the minister said. He acknowledged that rural youth often struggle due to limited exposure and language skills, and said the government is working to correct these gaps.

Since taking office, the Congress government has filled over 70,000 posts, including Group-1 and Group-2 roles. The minister said the Huzurnagar mela continues this effort by linking talent with job opportunities in underserved regions.
