The massive rural public works scheme- Garib Kalyan Rojgar Abhiyaan- will be launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday.

The scheme will be launched with the aim to create jobs for millions of migrant workers who returned to their respective homes during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The scheme worth Rs 50,000 crore will be launched through video conference by the Prime Minister.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi will also be present during the launch.

Moreover, five other chief ministers and Union ministers of concerned ministries will also participate in the virtual launch from Telihar village in Khagaria district of Bihar.

Let’s know a little about Garib Kalyan Rojgar Abhiyaan:

  • The campaign of 125 days across 116 districts in six states aims to work in mission mode to help migrant workers
  • The programme will cover 116 districts across Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Jharkhand and Odisha. These districts received over 25,000 migrant workers
  • It will involve intensified and focused implementation of 25 different types of works to provide jobs and create infrastructure in the rural regions of the country with a resource envelope of Rs 50,000 crore
  • The programme is aimed at boosting livelihood opportunities in rural India.
  • The scheme will create durable infrastructure along with boosting employment opportunities
  • The scheme will be a coordinated effort between 12 different ministries or departments- rural development, panchayat raj, road transport and highways, mines, drinking water and sanitation, environment, railways, petroleum and natural gas, new and renewable energy, border roads, telecom and agriculture
  • Rural development secretary NN Sinha said that the laying of fibre optics cable, railway works, rurban mission jobs, sanitation works, waste management, poultry, farm ponds and training through Krishi Vigyan Kendras will be given to the migrant workers under the programme
  • Sinha also said that there is no bar for other districts to join the programme if they also have more than 25,000 migrant workers
  • The Centre’s dependence on the construction to create jobs comes after skill mapping in districts where more than 25,000 migrant workers have returned, and run by the rural development ministry with monitoring by the PMO
  • The government communique said the 116 districts will also contain 27 aspirational districts-India’s poorest areas in socio-economic indices-and the government hopes to cover about two-thirds of migrant workers.
