LUCKNOW: The state government will provide 1 lakh tablets to skilled workers for free as part of its skill development mission. The move is aimed at helping workers hone their skills further and perform better at jobs.
The government through its portal www.sewamitra.up.gov.in and call centre 155330 is providing a wide range of services to skilled and common people. Skilled workers seeking a job can apply through this portal, which also facilitates their training to hone skills.
As part of the mission, the government has launched ‘seva mitra’ service in 25 districts to generate employment among skilled workers. The service is currently under trial and will soon be launched in the remaining districts. A 50-seater call centre has also been set up in this regard.
According to the director of Skill Development Mission Kunal Silku, sewa mitra is an excellent service for the people.
“One of the specialities of the service is that the name of the provider and rate appear on the screen as soon as a person books the service,” he said.
