Telangana is planning a large job fair in Kodad on September 19.
The fair is meant to help young people from rural areas find work.

He said companies should be brought closer to rural communities.
About 300 companies have been invited to meet job seekers.
These include large employers and cement companies.
Organizers expect more than 3,500 young applicants to get jobs.
D Sridhar Babu is expected to give selected candidates their offer letters.
Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy called for stronger links between educated unemployed youth and major industries.
