About 1120 youth members have took part in the event, 7 companies and 3 bankers have took part apart from representation from DRDA placement cell. Of which 211 candidates got short listed for further process and we do not have the exact data of number of persons joined for various reasons such as companies not giving the data in writing, Dr. Reddy Labs confined in taking 10+2 studying / pass outs as trainees hence no immediate joining s take place, youth don t want to migrate to far of places etc., Even though large numbers of youth have attended Job Melas, very few of them have joined the jobs, moreover about 85% of them are not trained under our purview. Therefore based on the past learning s we confined to focus on our trainees for placement.

The major factor that supporting for wage employment in rural trainings is that Special Economic Zone through which the skilled persons are getting opportunities to work like wise providing requisite tool kit is enabling the participants in starting their self-employment skill. In this year BCT has provided tool kits or relevant material to start the initiative immediately for the trainees of Computer Hardware and Networking, Electrical Gadget Repairs, Dairy based ESDP, Biotechnology and Mobile Repairing. We are facing great difficulty in motivating especially tribal youth to join in private jobs in and around Visakhapatnam. The main reason for not joining is that they have to shift to far off place where they find themselves as foreigners, working hours and emoluments in private jobs. Blessing in disguise is that many of them are able to get employment locally, particularly under NREGS. The other reasons associated needs to be find out.
