Bhopal: Chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said on Friday that all round development of the people is the top priority of his government. The goal of the state government is to provide employment opportunities to the unemployed and make their lives happy.
Chouhan said that the state government has decided that employment opportunities will be provided to the unemployed by organising Employment Day every month. Lakhs of people will be linked with employment by organising Employment Day again on March 29. Chouhan was addressing the state-level employment fair at Polytechnic Ground in Shahdol on the occasion of Employment Day on Friday. The Chief Minister also laid the foundation stone and inaugurated development works worth Rs 617 crore in Shahdol division.
Chief minister said that now members of self-help groups will do the work of stitching school uniforms. They will also run PDS shops and manufacture ‘ready-to-eat’ food. These women will also be entrusted with the task of paddy purchase. Our target is that working women of the state should earn at least Rs 10 thousand a month, each. The women of these groups are manufacturing soap, turmeric-powder, oil, sanitiser etc. They will soon be connected to small industries, so as to remove their poverty and make them self-dependent. Chouhan said that 5 kg free ration is being distributed to every poor person of the state under “Pradhan Mantri Anna Yojana” and “MukhyaMantri Annapurna Yojana” till March 2022. Turmeric products are being manufactured and sold in Shahdol district under the ‘Ek Zila Ek Utpad’ scheme. The turmeric powder of Shahdol is being sent to other states as well.
CM said that to make women of self-help groups in the state self-reliant, a loan amount of Rs. 10000 will be made available to each member so that they can run small scale industries, cottage industries and Griha Udyog and strengthen their economic condition.
Employment opportunities will also be provided by cultivation of medicinal herbs, he added.
