KVIC inks deal with Rural Self Employment Training Institutes
New Delhi: The Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC), under the MSME ministry, and the monitoring cell for the Rural Self Employment Training Institutes (RSETIs) Friday inked an agreement for generating employment opportunities by setting up micro-enterprises in the country’s rural and urban areas.
“The ministry of MSME through KVIC is implementing the Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP) for generating employment opportunities through setting up of micro-enterprises in rural and urban areas of the country,” an official statement said.
The memorandum of understanding was signed by B.H. Anil Kumar, chief executive officer and commissioner for KVIC, and K.N. Janardhana, chief project coordinator for the monitoring cell for RSETIs.
Union Minister of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Kalraj Mishra was also present on the occasion.
Around 2.9 lakh micro-enterprises have been set up so far providing employment opportunities to 25.93 lakh people.
The scheme has received encouraging response from all stakeholders like unemployed youth, banks and implementing agencies.
“It has been observed that applications from unemployed youth received are far in excess of the target every year which reflects the popularity of the scheme,” it said.
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
