The Jharkhand state government will soon sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Coimbatore-based apparel exporting company KPR Mills to provide them with workforce. Under the agreement, the latter aims to recruit 12,000 labourers, primarily women, for its expanding production lines, including a new mill in Tirupur in Erode district.
In the first phase, nearly 2,000 women will be hired.
State labour department officials said the company has agreed to pay its new workforce from Jharkhand a monthly remuneration of ₹12,000 and take care of their food and lodging.
“The company approached us for manpower for its expansion projects. We have registered them with the state labour exchange,” state labour commissioner A Muthukumar was quoted as saying by a top English-language daily.
Muthukumar said several companies cutting across various sectors have evinced interest for recruiting workforce from the state.
The official also claimed that the department will organise period visits at the production units of the company to assess the condition and well-being of the workforce hired.
