Those hired through
the employment guarantee scheme will be deployed for cleaning up of
drains and canals, planting of saplings and to promote organic vegetable
farming.

They will be used in the other waste management
activities of the local body too. On Monday, a meeting chaired by the
Mayor discussed steps to ensure a minimum of 100 days’ work to adult
members of families in the Corporation area, who are ready to do
unskilled labour. A campaign to issue labour cards will be carried out
from January 5 to 15, with the co-operation of all the ward councillors,
to attract more workers to the scheme.

One member from each
family can apply for the scheme. Applicants should attach their
photograph, bankpass book, Aadhaar card and ration card to the
application.

Projects of Rs. 5.71 crore have been sanctioned under the project now.

The labour estimate for the next year is being prepared as per the new guidelines.

As per the current estimates, the Corporation has utilised 91.14% of the funds and created 22,327 work days.

Women will be given priority in the scheme.
