Mobile application with information on skilled and semi-skilled workers to be developed
The district panchayat has received good response to a campaign to register skilled and semi-skilled workers in various fields under the banner of a skill registry and job portal envisaged to ensure job opportunities throughout the year for the registered. The first phase of the registration began on Monday and saw more than 200 workers registering themselves, said district panchayat president Ullas Thomas.
He said the project, under the 2021-22 financial plan, would achieve its aim of providing a repository on the availability of workers throughout the year.
The aim of the programme is to develop a mobile application, which will provide information on the availability of workers as well as on the market demand for workers on a daily basis. Kerala Academy For Skills Excellence (KASE) will partner the district panchayat in the venture.
Capt. Brijesh Chowta, Dakshina Kannada MP, on Saturday urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to facilitate speeding up of ongoing critical infrastructure works in the region, including Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH 75 widening, establishment of Indian Coast Guard Academy, and merger of Konkan Railway Corporation with the Indian Railways.
