Additionally, they have assisted in identifying recipients of skill development and self-employment programmes, particularly women and young people. Many young people without jobs have been given the opportunity to work for themselves thanks to partnerships with banks.In addition to the many other parameters for which a booklet is being distributed to Prabhari Officers, Dr. Mehta emphasised that this edition of B2V will concentrate on saturation of self-employment schemes, progress on Jal Jeevan Mission implementation, saturation of welfare schemes including old-age pension scheme, sports, culture, progress on achieving deliverables, availability of electricity in villages, and a host of other topics.
