New Delhi, Feb 5 (KNN) Fulfilling the poll promises, the Congress government in Madhya Pradesh made it mandatory for industries to provide 70% employment to local youth in the state.

In a tweet, MP Chief Minister Kamal Nath said “Fulfilling our manifesto promise, we have made 70% jobs mandatory for locals across industries facilitated by state government.”

Principal Secretary, Department of Industry, Mohammad Suleman said that the new industrial policy has been made effective and all industries who seek incentive and advantages from the state must provide 70% jobs to local youth.
