In addition to 40,000 workmen, the mining giant will also recruit management executives, from premier institutes.
Coal India, a Government of India undertaking, apparently has massive hiring plans for the coming few years. The mining giant has decided to hire 4,500 fresh graduates from premier institutes to the management cadre in the next three years, beginning next month. As part of the bulk hiring, it will also recruit an additional 40,000 workmen at the same time.
The company stated that the management executives shall be recruited from institutes, such as the IITs and NITs. The recruitment plan for this year is about 1,000 while another 3,500 will be recruited over the next three years. In addition, the workmen to be hired are going to be technical people and diploma holders, mining sardars, overseers, electrical workers, fittings experts, dumper operators and other equipment operators. Candidates for these positions are all directly recruited by the subsidiary companies and it is estimated that the subsidiaries would require around 40,000 people in the next three years!

E-commerce to create about 12 million jobs in India by 2025
According to the HSBC Global Report, 50 per cent of the expected 24 million jobs, to be created in India in the next decade, may come from the e-commerce sector.
The rapidly expanding and attention grabbing e-commerce sector in India is expected to create a huge chunk of jobs in the coming few years. The HSBC Global Report recently forecasted that half of the 24 million jobs that India is seeking to create in the next ten years could be coming from the e-commerce sector.
The e-commerce space currently employs about one million people in India, but the report states that the number is set to grow by at least 700 per cent by 2020. Seventy per cent of those jobs will be in logistics, warehousing and delivery, 25 per cent in customer care and IT, and five per cent in corporate.
India needs to generate a total of 80 million jobs by 2025, which is double of the figure in the last 10 years. This, however, seems like a far-fetched target taking into account both demand and supply of jobs and the existing labour-intensive sectors, such as agriculture and services that may not be able to meet the entire demand, alone. However, the report states that e-commerce jobs are ‘more productive than the types of jobs India is currently creating’. In addition, the e-commerce sector has the capacity to offer jobs that are well-suited for India’s diverse skill set and entrepreneurial profile.
