Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy directed the higher education department to prepare an action plan to ensure that each student has an appointment letter by the time he comes out of college.

Reddy told the department to prepare a comprehensive action plan which would help students who do not want to pursue higher education, settle down in jobs on completion of their degree and diploma courses.

The action plan will be implemented by Jawahar Knowledge centres, Rajvi Udyogsri mission and department of education.

At a review meeting on Sunday, he asked the department to arrange English labs so that students can improve their skills in spoken English, get meaningful and professional training so that they can easily get jobs in various trades.

"In the next three years, there should be no unemployed youth in the state," he said.
