Imphal, May 12 : Employment opportunities are abundant in our country, but due to the lack of awareness and guidance the deserving students of North East in general and Manipur in particular are unable to make use of these opportunities. In its quest to educate and empower the youth of this region, units of Senapati Brigade under the aegis of Red Shied Division had taken the initiative to provide awareness, guidance and actively facilitate registration of candidates from Senapati and Tamenglong Districts for vacancies of constables in the Central Armed Police Forces being subscribed through Staff Services Commission of India (SSC).
The personal visits of Maj Gen KK Sinha, SM, GOC, Red Shield Division to the remote and inaccessible areas of these districts further motivated the youth and over 3500 candidates including over 1000 girls had registered for the SSC exam.
