Minister urges youth to become job providers
Higher Education Minister Roji M. John has called upon young people to transition from being job seekers to becoming job creators. He emphasized the importance of fostering an environment that allows industries and business ventures to flourish, thereby generating more employment opportunities. The minister addressed this issue during the concluding event of the All-Kerala elocution competition, hosted by the Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Kochi on September 28.
The event was chaired by the chamber's president, Rajkumar Gupta, who was joined by Kochi MLA Muhammed Shiyas, former chamber president Akshay Agarwal, and vice president Chirag J. Shah. Among the competitors, Riga Rose Babu, Aravind R. Chandran, and Gerard John emerged as the top three, securing first, second, and third places respectively.
Additionally, the minister awarded the winners of the K.R. Mehta Memorial inter-college essay writing competition, Gopika Ganesh and Susan Davis. The M.K. Mehta Ever-Rolling Shield, given to the school with the best SSLC exam results, was presented to St. Mary’s Anglo-Indian Girls High School in Fort Kochi.
