The Story in Brief
Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi has announced a target of creating 20 lakh jobs over the next five years, with a focus on skill development and training linked to changing market needs. He said the government aims to create at least three lakh employment opportunities within the next one to two years across different sectors.
Majhi also announced the removal of the six-attempt limit for the Odisha Civil Services examination. Candidates can now appear until reaching the prescribed upper age limit, subject to eligibility rules. The upper age limit for government jobs has also been raised to 42 years, widening the window for state government applicants.
The Indian Opinion
The 20-lakh figure is a target, not a record of confirmed jobs. Treating it as an immediate employment gain would be misleading, while dismissing it outright would be equally lazy. The useful test is whether the promised three lakh opportunities appear within one to two years, and whether the government publishes a clear count separating private-sector jobs, training-linked placements and government recruitment.
