The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) in collaboration with the Government of Telangana and National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) organized Kaushal Mahotsav – Warangal 2026 at Kakatiya Institute of Technology & Science, Warangal on June 27, 2026. This one-day employment fair served as a platform connecting skilled youth with industry through on-the-spot interviews, recruitment, apprenticeship opportunities, and career guidance.
The event witnessed overwhelming participation with over 4,500 candidates registering from across Warangal and neighboring districts, of which more than 2,200 participated in the on-site recruitment process. Over 90 leading employers participated in the event, resulting in more than 1,000 young job seekers receiving immediate job offers, representing nearly 50% of the participants who attended the Mahotsav.
Employers conducted interviews and extended job offers across diverse sectors including manufacturing, automotive, logistics, textiles, retail, healthcare, IT-ITeS, telecom, tourism & hospitality, and banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI). The event catered to candidates from diverse educational backgrounds including school pass-outs, ITI graduates, diploma holders, graduates, and skilled professionals.

The recruitment process will continue beyond the event, with participating employers further evaluating applications of candidates who were not shortlisted during on-site interviews. These employers will contact eligible candidates directly for subsequent stages of selection.
In addition to recruitment, the Mahotsav served as an awareness platform for apprenticeship opportunities and government skilling initiatives including Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS), Skill India Digital, and other initiatives aimed at strengthening employability through continuous skilling, upskilling, and reskilling.
The event was attended by several dignitaries including Shri V. Satish Kumar (Ex-MLA & Chairman, KITS College), Shri K. R.
