In these fairs, such families will be associated with self-employment, the Chief Minister said while presiding over the State Working Committee meeting of BJP OBC Morcha in Panchkula.
He said that the work of income verification is being done by collecting data through Parivar Pehchan Patra Yojana. For this, the work of setting up self-employment through 40 schemes of six departments is at the final stage. To increase the income of the poor family, financial assistance will be provided from the banks through the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana, he said.
Khattar said that all the office bearers of OBC Morcha should prepare a list of ten such families in their surrounding areas and send it to the State Government so that the goal of increasing the income of poor families can be achieved.
The Chief Minister said that the OBC class is skilled in many fields and such skilled workers are needed not only in the country but abroad as well. Craftsmen play a pivotal role in boosting the economy. Every year Shilpkar Mela is organized in Surajkund to promote the skills of craftsmen. In future, this fair will be organized twice a year so that the craftsmen can showcase their skills in a better manner, he added.
Khattar further said that it is for the first time in the country that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has formed the Ministry of Skills to promote skill-based education and training. On these lines, Haryana Government has also established Shri Vishwakarma Skill University in Palwal so as to sharpen such skills in the State. Along with this, Skill Employment Corporation has also been constituted in the state, he said.
