Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Saturday launched the Mukhyamantri Shato Udyami Sarathi Yojana to help youth become self-employed.
Under the scheme, five experienced persons of the Society will be appointed as guides for 100 families and will make them aware of the benefits and take them forward. The guides with the spirit of social work will be known as sarthis (mentors). People wishing to serve the society will have to register themselves on the Samarpan portal, the CM said while addressing a gathering at the Mukhyamantri Antyodaya Parivar Utthan Mela on the premises of the SDM office in Gharaunda.
Khattar further said no person in the state would live below the monthly income of Rs 15,000 and for this, melas were being organised in all districts. He said 11 lakh such families were identified whose annual income is less than Rs 1.80 lakh and 160 such melas were organised in December last year. So far, 3.5 lakh people had benefitted from the scheme so far. Now, the second phase of these melas has started from March 2. At least, 250 melas will be organised till March 17.
