IGNOUs’ placement drive for Tribal Students

To secure the future and career of the tribal students Indira Gandhi Open University conducted a placement drive on January 25, 2014 at Gadchiroli.

Campus Selection Interview was attended by around 48 students. The students attended the interviews in pure white dresses and well prepared.

The Employer, Care Hospitals, Nagpur with their Man Power supply Agency officials conducted the interviews. The Recruiters were so overwhelmed with the quality of the students. They appreciated very much with the theoretical and practical knowledge these students are having. So, they selected all the 48 candidates for employment. But, 2 students are yet to complete 18 years, so they offered them to wait till they complete 18 years and join them immediately after completing 18 years. 4 students are over 40 years, so they will be offered supervisory posts.

The students will be paid a salary of 7,000 p.m. It was also assured that depending on their sincerity and commitment, they can grow in their career.

It was a fruitful day, as IGNOU could fulfil its word of job placement to these tribal students of a trouble torn, backward Gadchiroli District. (specially looking into their low qualification of 10th pass, eligible for admission to CHBHC Programme).

This is the first time that any University has conducted Campus Selection Interviews at Gadchiroli. More over 100% selections of all those who attended is also a remarkable achievement. The PIC and Academic Counsellors of these PSCs and also the students for their continuous efforts are to be appreciated. Some of the students continued in the respective Hospitals, for getting experience to work in a Hospital, even after completing their Exams in December. During the Semester, RC Academics have made frequent visits and motivated students to study effectively, so as to be get selected in the job interviews to be held for

The media people interacted with the students and reported their feedback. One of the girl students, Trupti Kharbade is mother of two girls and a widow in her late 20s. Unfortunately she lost her husband just before commencement of this Course in July. But, to fulfil her late husband's insistence to stand on her feet, she completed this Course and she was happy as she got a job.

Being a day prior to Republic day, Red Alert was given in the District. But, the IGNOU Team, Recruiters and students were on their job with complete involvement.
