Wipro to hire 5,000 people, not for bench
Hyderabad: Considering a fresh recruitment strategy of taking in graduates from non-engineering institutes, Wipro plans to hire around 5,000 people in the next couple of months.
"Our strategy is to recruit non-engineering graduates, in addition to engineering and make them fit into the slot. We are still working out the details," said Wipro Technologies Joint CEO Girish Paranjpe. Refusing to divulge more details for next year's recruitments and outlook, Paranjpe said that it would be a mix of 60 percent freshers and 40 percent experienced.
Last year the company made offers to as many as 8,500 persons through recruitment drives in colleges and institutions. "We expect clients to make no further cuts in their budgets. We expect 2010 to be a better year than 2009," Paranjpe said on the sidelines of dedicating renovated Manikonda Lake at Hyderabad facility to the community.
He said that the new hiring strategies will be worked out in a month or two. Attrition rate in the company currently stands at ten percent. On becoming energy efficient, he said that the company is determined to reduce the carbon emission per employee by 45 percent from the present 3.96 tonnes to 2.5 tonnes in the next five years. "Our power consumption went down by 12 percent last year and we are planning to set up a micro windmill at our Hyderabad facility soon," said Paranjpe.

Why is Bhopal a human rights issue today?
Shortly before midnight on 2 December 1984, tonnes of deadly chemicals leaked from Union Carbide’s pesticide plant in Bhopal, central India.
Today, over 150,000 people are still too sick to work because of the exposure to toxic waste dumped into the water supply.
Dow Chemicals and their subsidiary Union Carbide refuse to face the law in India or to accept responsibility for the gas leak and the ongoing contamination. Union Carbide, fully owned by Dow Chemicals has been charged with culpable homicide in India.
Bhopal is not just a human rights tragedy from the last century. It is a human rights travesty today because the people have never claimed claim their rights to justice and accountability.
