Dr. Sandhu highlighted that so many complaints are being received regarding fake agencies/institutes are doing fraudulent practices by looting money from 10th or 12th standard educated candidates on the name of jobs in Kisan Call Centre and other bogus offices. Initially these suspicious agencies attracts unemployed youth by offering salary of rupees 15,000-20,000 and then they demand Rs. 15,000 as refundable advance money against security/laptop. Sometimes Rs.1000 are also demanded to send application form simply. These illegal organizations are frequently changing their names as Bharti Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kisan Helpline Services and Kisan Seva Kendra etc. and doing fraud with people. Some are also publishing their advertisements through newspapers /internet whereas others are doing these illegal activities through telephone and mobiles.
Dr. M.S.Sandhu,Director Agriculture, Punjab humbly appealed public of State to remain awake regarding this type of fraud on the name of fake recruitments.
