Raipur : Once upon a time, the hands of Vijay were filled with blisters, now the same hands hold a pen

Jobs given to about 800 youths of the state  belonging to special backward tribes     

                
Raipur 29 April . The state government of Chhattisgarh has implemented a revolutionary scheme to provide direct appointments to eligible educated youths from special backward tribes. This scheme has transformed the lives of numerous individuals belonging to these communities.

Vijay Kumar, a member of the Kamar special backward tribe, used to work as a laborer and struggle to make ends meet with a meager salary of Rs. 5 to 6 thousand per month. However, his life changed completely within a year, thanks to the state government scheme. Today, instead of an ax and spade, he holds a pen in his hands and works as an Assistant Grade-3 in the Tribal Department, earning a monthly salary of Rs. 17,000. With this opportunity, Vijay completed his Master’s degree and no longer has to work as a laborer to support his family.

Santosh Kumar of Dhamtari also shared his experience, stating that he used to work tirelessly to manage his family’s expenses. However, with the implementation of the government scheme, he now works as a peon in the education department, relieving him of his previous financial struggles.

In Dhamtari’s Bhent Mulaqat program, the youth of Kamar and Bhunjia special backward tribes expressed their gratitude towards Chief Minister Mr. Bhupesh for providing employment opportunities to their communities. During the program, the Chief Minister engaged in a cordial discussion with the youths and wished them success in their future endeavors.

It’s worth mentioning that approximately 800 jobs have been provided to special backward tribes across the state. In Dhamtari district, 39 posts have been given to eligible candidates from the Kamar and Bhunjia tribes in various government departments. These appointments include 2 jobs in the School Education Department, 1 in the Youth Assistant Grade-3 in Tribal Development Department, and 1 Ward Boy in the Medical Department. Additionally, 28 youths have been given jobs in the School Education Department, 2 youths have been appointed in the vetinery department, while 2 have been appointed in class IV posts of the Revenue Department. Overall a total of 39 youths have been given  employment in Dhamtari district itself.
