Saturday, 19 September 2020 | Staff Reporter | RAIPUR

nChhattisgarh Labour Minister Dr Shivkumar Dahariya on Friday gave away sewing machines to 30 ragpicker women so that they take up sewing and embroidery at the Skill Development Centre in Raipur. 

The Minister also gave an advance amount of Rs 1,000 for their immediate expenses.

The new respectable work will bring positive changes in their lives, he said, and urged other women to also become self-dependent.

Dr Dahariya said shops will be provided to 10 women who develop skills at the Centre under the Urban Slum Development Scheme.

He said the government has told officials to bring ragpicker women into the mainstream of society and prepare better employment opportunities for them.

Chief Secretary R.P. Mandal said stitching and embroidery will definitely improve their lives.
