Indian govt’s GKRA provide jobs to 50.78 crore Migrant workers

India – The Garib Kalyan Rojgar Abhiyaan (GKRA) was introduced on June 20, 2020, and it will run for 125 days. Its goal is to increase the job and income prospects for migrant workers returning to their home villages and other similarly impacted rural residents. With a total of Rs. 39,293 crores spent during the Abhiyaan, the GKRA came to a conclusion on October 22, 2020, and 50.78 crore person-days of employment were created.

Garib Kalyan Rojgar Abhiyaan has included training that has been delivered by Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK). 68,136 candidates received training across 1,922 different training sessions.

The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (Mahatma Gandhi NREGS) employees will have their skill sets upgraded as part of Project “UNNATI”, which the Indian government launched in December 2019. This will improve their livelihoods and enable them to transition from their current partial employment to full employment.

Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY) and Rural Self Employment Training Institutes are two Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM) skill development programs for rural youth (RSETIs). Both of these initiatives are intended to increase rural youths’ employability, whether for paid work or self-employment.

The DAY-NRLM program’s Start-up Village Entrepreneurship Programme (SVEP) assists Self-Help Groups and their families in establishing small businesses in the non-farm sector.

In order to solve the issue of a lack of skilled masons for the construction of high-quality PMAY-G homes, the Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD) has introduced the Rural Mason Training (RMT) program. In order to implement the RMT program, the MoRD has partnered with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and the Construction Skill Development Council of India (CSDCI).

The third phase of PMKVY, or PMKVY 3.0, is now being implemented. District Skill Committees (DSCs) have been tasked with the duty of identifying local demand, on the basis of which training has been organized in the district, strengthening the local skill capability, including in the rural areas. PMKVY 3.0 is a demand-driven program with a bottom-up approach.
