Deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia on Wednesday launched the Delhi government’s ‘Mission Kushal Karmi’ programme as part of which construction workers would be provided skill development training.
Under the programme, Delhi Skill and Entrepreneurship University (DSEU) and Delhi Building and Other Construction Workers’ Welfare Board will give training to construction workers at construction sites.
“This skill development programme by DSEU along with Simplex, NAREDCO and India Vision Foundation to make construction workers skilled is very special. Under this 15-day special training programme, workers will undergo upskilling, which will boost their income in future,” Sisodia said after the launch on Wednesday.
The government aims to train 2 lakh workers in a year, he added. To compensate for the loss of wages during the training, all the construction workers will be provided Rs 4,200 each, Sisodia said.
