Chirag Naik’s Vision for Youth Employment
Addressing the gathering, Naik expressed gratitude for the massive turnout but also raised concerns about Goa’s employment scenario.
“The overwhelming response indicates a serious gap between job seekers and employers. While we are happy to facilitate opportunities, the high demand for jobs also reflects systemic challenges in the state’s employment ecosystem,” he said.
Naik assured continuity in such initiatives, stating that his team would follow up with applicants and aim to secure placements for many within 15–25 days. He also announced plans to launch a dedicated job helpline soon.
Encouraging Youth to Follow Their Passion
Naik urged young job seekers to align their careers with their education, skills, and passions rather than settling for any available opportunity.
“Youth must pursue careers that match their potential. We will continue working to bridge the gap between talent and employment,” he added.
