Seeking active participation of corporates in the progress of minorities, Union minister K Rahman Khan today advocated setting up of a committee of three Business Chambers and Ministry of Labour and Employment.
The move is aimed at giving impetus to the efforts to promote Skill Development and Employment Opportunities in Public and Private Sectors for minorities.
The Minority Affairs Minister was chairing a meeting to review the status of recruitment of minorities in Government organisations, departments, public and private sectors.
Reviewing the minorities' status in employment in government and public sector, the Minister also directed the department of personnel and training to ensure that all selection boards and committees for recruitment in government and public sector must have a member belonging to minority community.
He further directed to sensitise all government departments in this regard and to provide a status report.
Seeking co-operation of CII, FICCI and PHDCCI for the entrepreneurship development of minorities, the minister asked them to join hands with the the Ministry as a part of their Corporate Social Responsibility for Skill Development.
