In a written reply in the assembly to a question by BJP member Dilip Ray, state Employment and Technical Education and Training Minister Sanjay Dasburma said a total of 32,00,353 job aspirants registered in various employment exchange offices between 2000 and June 2015.
A total of 10,86,222 job aspirants, who registered their names, were still active in the employment exchanges by 2014.
