13,000 Aspirants, 5,000+ Offers: Inside the Success of Chhattisgarh’s 2026 Mega Job Fair
Moving beyond conventional registration drives, the two-day mega fair achieved a remarkable 38% on-the-spot selection conversion rate, proving that digital screening via the e-Rojgar portal coupled with direct industry interface can effectively eliminate structural friction in emerging job markets.
Raipur: The two-day State Level Rojgar Mela–2026, held at Raipur’s Sardar Balbir Singh Juneja Indoor Stadium, marked a paradigm shift in workforce recruitment strategies. Unlike traditional public hiring camps that often serve merely as passive resume collection points, this event distinguished itself as a dynamic, synchronized talent exchange. By bringing technical training bodies, polytechnics, and corporate recruiters onto a single platform, the fair established an active ecosystem that seamlessly translated vocational certifications into immediate corporate appointments.
The event witnessed overwhelming participation, drawing over 13,000 aspirants from across Chhattisgarh, including remote and tribal districts. More than 95 registered companies and industrial houses set up 50 operational screening desks, conducting rigorous on-the-spot document verifications and interviews. Demonstrating high recruitment efficiency, over 5,000 candidates secured final selection across ITI, polytechnic diploma, engineering, and general graduate streams.
A cornerstone of this operational success was the end-to-end digitisation powered by the state’s e-Rojgar portal, which streamlined registrations, candidate tracking, and evaluation logistics. State authorities announced plans to evolve this platform into an integrated “Skill Market” to bridge real-time demand-supply gaps.
The event concluded with a ceremonial address where Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai presented offer letters to approximately 1,100 candidates alongside Skill Development Minister Guru Khushwant Saheb. Officials noted that 925 fairs over the last 30 months have facilitated over 25,845 placements, while a newly released Quality Council of India evaluation report will further recalibrate polytechnic training to match evolving industry requirements.
