Maharashtra Colleges To Host Job Fairs Before Rojgar Mahakumbh 2026

Maharashtra's Higher and Technical Education Minister Chandrakant Patil has urged colleges across the state to organise employment drives and connect students with industry to create more job opportunities.

The state government will host the 'Rojgar Mahakumbh’ (Employment Mega Fair) on September 29, 2026, to provide employment opportunities to young people based on their educational qualifications, skills, and capabilities.

During a meeting at Mantralaya, Patil appealed to colleges to take the lead in organising employment drives. The meeting was attended by Skill Development, Employment, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha, Higher Education Director Dr Shailendra Devlankar, and other senior officials.

Patil emphasized the need for students to acquire employment-oriented skills along with their degree education. He stressed the importance of colleges strengthening coordination with industries, companies, and entrepreneurs to align students' skills with industry requirements.

Colleges have been encouraged to regularly organise employment fairs, skill-development programmes, and career guidance initiatives based on the requirements of industries in their respective regions. The Rojgar Mahakumbh aims to bring multiple companies, industries, and employment opportunities together at a single platform, allowing young people to appear for interviews directly.

This initiative could help save students' time while improving their chances of finding employment suited to their skills. Patil also emphasized the need for educational institutions and industry to work together to ensure that young people have access to employment or self-employment opportunities after completing their education.

The success of the Rojgar Mahakumbh will depend on the participation of colleges and industries. The state government is expected to release more details about the event in the coming months.
