Even educated women from middle class families in the northeastern states are falling into traps laid by certain companies that are luring them with job offers in India and abroad. This was said by social activists here today at an workshop organised by Impulse NGO Network and Utsah
“Now, we have come across several instances where young graduates from the Northeast were offered jobs by certain companies at call centres, spas and beauty clinics with good salaries.
