In a significant stride toward globalizing the state’s workforce, the Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam (HKRN) has successfully facilitated job placements for 210 youths in Dubai, UAE. This achievement marks one of the largest single-batch international deployments handled by the state government’s specialized recruitment agency.
-
Selection Process: The candidates were selected through a rigorous multi-stage process that included technical skill assessments, language proficiency tests, and interviews conducted by Dubai-based employer representatives. The recruitment drive focused on ensuring that the youth were placed in reputable companies with secure working conditions.
-
Key Sectors of Employment: The 210 youths have secured roles across various industries in Dubai, including:
-
Construction & Engineering: Electricians, plumbers, and site supervisors.
-
Hospitality: Front desk staff, culinary assistants, and housekeeping professionals.
-
Logistics: Warehouse managers and delivery coordinators.
-
Healthcare: Nursing assistants and paramedical staff.
-
-
Welfare and Benefits: Unlike traditional private recruitment agents, HKRN has ensured that the candidates receive fair wages (ranging from ₹45,000 to ₹90,000 per month depending on the role), free accommodation, medical insurance, and air tickets. The state government has also provided a dedicated orientation program on UAE labor laws and cultural norms.
-
Government Vision: A senior official of HKRN stated, “Our mission is to protect our youth from fraudulent ‘donkey route’ agents and provide them with safe, legal, and dignified pathways to international careers. This Dubai placement is just the beginning of our 2026 global outreach plan.”
-
Impact on Families: Many of the selected candidates come from rural backgrounds and economically weaker sections. This overseas employment is expected to significantly improve the financial stability of their families back in Haryana.
-
Expansion Plans: Following this success, HKRN is reportedly in talks with employers in Israel, Japan, and the UK for similar skill-based recruitment drives later this year.
