Smt. Dutta apprised that Punjab Khadi and Village Industries Board has a long illustrated history in rural employment generation. At the height of its performance the Board was adjudged as the best performing board in the country in the year 2007. It is the original agency wholly dedicated to employment generation. Thus, the Board has as its objective ‘Ghar-Ghar Rozgar’ the dream scheme of Captain Amarinder Singh, Hon’ble Chief Minister, Punjab.
The Board implements the Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Program (PMEGP) of the Government of India in conjunction with Khadi Commission and District Industries Centers. In the current year, it is proposed to finance 592 units with a target of 4736 no. of persons involving total of Rs.17.75 crores of subsidy and will distribute loans to the tune of Rs.80.00 crores through Nationalized banks.
The Corona pandemic has taken a heavy toll on existing employment opportunities as well as proposed employment prospectus on account of global economic recession. Qualified people are out of employment and in this scenario the importance of PMEGP and self employment projects has become all the more important. There are qualified and experienced persons, out of jobs and have a better chance of setting up successful self employment ventures and to whom banks would also happy to sanction loans.
