In the past three years, about 68,000 workers have been provided with advanced toolkits for self-employment in various traditional disciplines," Sehgal said.The Vishwakarma Shram Samman Yojana has become a lifeline for the skilled workers of Uttar Pradesh living in large numbers in villages, towns and cities and has given them respect in society.The state-level Bankers Committee meetings aim to ensure that loans are provided to all eligible candidates. In this context, the district-level departmental officers keep in constant touch with the district level bankers committee officials.The Chief Minister believes that workers play vital role in the development of a state and, therefore, accords top priority to the interest of workers.Atal Residential Schools are being built in every circle of the state for the children of labourers.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
