BHOPAL: Chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said on Thursday that today’s biggest priority is to provide employment.
Employment is not just a government job, it includes self-employment schemes. We provide benefits through such schemes to about 3 lakh people every month.
Employment Day will start on January 12, the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda. Do this in blocks, nagar panchayats and villages also. More people should be involved in the programme. He was addressing divisional commissioners and district collectors through video conferencing from Mantralaya.
Taking information about the meetings of DLCC, Chouhan said that meetings should be held at the district level as well as at the block level.
Chouhan said that the work of getting loans sanctioned for employment generation from banks should be done on mission mode. Focus on self-employment schemes. The goal is to achieve 100%. Work on publicity to provide benefits of “Mukhyamantri Udyam Kranti Yojana ‘’ to the youth. Programmes should not be held without prior preparation. Loans should be sanctioned for self-employment in maximum cases in employment fairs.
Chouhan further said that the Healthy Boy and Girl Competition would be held from January 08 to 14. The weight and height of the children up to 6 years will be taken. The height and weight of the children will be taken by various measuring agencies. Unhealthy children will be identified for treatment.
