Training and employment would be considered for only those who are matriculates and not above 45 years on the date of completion of training, the release said, adding such conditions would not apply to those who have already undergone or are undergoing training.

Those eligible for monetary compensation or training/ employment but are a party to any industrial dispute before any labour court, tribunal or statutory/non-statutory authority, would be offered the benifit only after they confirm their unconditional withdrawal from the said dispute.
