Telangana Congress MLC Amer Ali Khan today launched an overseas recruitment program in collaboration with the Telangana Overseas Manpower Company Ltd (TOMCOM).
The initiative, held at the Siasat Auditorium in Hyderabad, witnessed a massive turnout of job aspirants seeking opportunities in Japan, Qatar, the UAE and Fiji.
Speaking at the event, Khan said that The Siasat Daily had played a role all through its history in uplifting the community through education and employment.
"From the very beginning, Siasat has worked for the welfare of the community. Initially our focus was on education. Now we are channeling our efforts to ensure economic empowerment," he said.
Reflecting on the 1980s, he said that Siasat had at that time become a lifeline for thousands of job-seeking Muslims by publishing employment advertisements from leading English national dailies free of cost. "When the Gulf boom opened job doors, Muslims in Hyderabad were at the peak of educational and economic backwardness. Siasat took it upon itself to help them, and thousands secured jobs abroad through those classified ads," he said.
Continuing in the same spirit, the Siasat Hub Foundation (S-Hub) was now collaborating with TOMCOM marking a new chapter in structured overseas recruitment for the Muslim community, he said.
"The Telangana government, through TOMCOM, is now proactively identifying overseas job vacancies and facilitating recruitment. This is not just about sending people abroad - it's about building a roadmap for economic stability. S-Hub and TOMCOM have signed an MoU to conduct more such programs and guide youth in finding credible job opportunities overseas," he said.
Khan also announced a bold personal mission: "Before my MLC term ends on January 25, 2030, I want to transform at least one lakh families into financially stable households." He said that helping someone find a job was a source of continuous reward in Islam, and quoted a Hadith and the wisdom of Hazrat Ali: "When a prayer is not accepted, I am happier - because it carries divine wisdom."
The screening camp was held in a packed auditorium, with TOMCOM District Employment Officer Shabna and Officer-in-Charge Ritesh Kumar Mishra offering direct support. The camp saw participation from professionals across IT, Computer Science, Civil, Mechanical Engineering and other domains. Siasat Hub Director Zahed Farooqui and TOMCOM officials guided candidates through the recruitment process.
Young job-seekers interacted with Amer Ali Khan at the event, many posing for photos and expressing confidence in his vision. "Just like The Siasat Daily became a pillar of support for our community, Amer sahab's initiatives will help reshape the economic future of our youth," said one aspirant.
Khan also pledged to expand S-Hub's partnerships with other government departments, ensuring that deserving students and unemployed youth gained access to national and international employment opportunities.
