Kupwara: More than 1,600 youth from Kupwara and adjoining areas attended a job fair organised by the District Employment and Counselling Centre (DECC) and REACHA in collaboration with the Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) and the Indian Army on Saturday.
The fair brought together more than 30 employers from across Kashmir, while several companies from other parts of the country participated virtually, providing candidates an opportunity to interact directly with recruiters and explore employment opportunities.
Participating organisations included Taj Dal View, Snow Land, Radisson Collection, Rose Petal, Sarovar Portico, Lemon Tree, Arco Group of Hotels, Blinkit, Kabo, KFC and Aditya Birla Group, among others.
The DECC, in coordination with REACHA, facilitated the mobilisation of candidates and outreach for the event. Senior district administration officials, representatives of REACHA and recruiters also attended the fair.
The initiative aimed to connect job seekers from Kupwara, an Aspirational District facing geographical and developmental challenges, with employers and expand access to livelihood opportunities.
The organisers said the initiative sought to strengthen employment and placement opportunities through collaboration between the administration, private sector and civil society organisations.
