Continuing its focus on expansion and improved productivity, Singareni Collieries Company Limited has provided employment to 11,600 youth this year so far and plans to induct 2000 more in a phased manner.
Through the recruitment process, Singareni provided employment for 5,101 and inducted 6500 more by organising Mega Job Mela jointly with private organisations during the last week.
In addition, the State-owned mining company provided training for 800 youth for police recruitment and for 1200 members for Army recruitment during last 3 months. With this, by end of this fiscal, according to the miner, 15,000 youth would get employment in the collieries and other areas.

After Sridhar assumed office as the CMD, about 7,000 job slots in the company were identified.
