‘Nellai Skills’ acts as a bridge between people and workforce
Collector V. Vishnu, with the help of National Informatics Centre here, has developed a mobile app to simultaneously help the skilled but unemployed workers and the public who are struggling to find the right technicians for repairing their electronic gadgets and doing other works like plumbing. Minister for Rural Development K.R. Periakaruppan launched this mobile app, ‘Nellai Skills,’ on Thursday. While the public find it difficult to find well-trained personnel for repairing home appliances such as air-conditioner, refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, home theatre, LED television set and doing electrical and plumbing works, skilled technicians are scrambling to find these work.![](/newspic/picid-1269750-20250217064624.jpg)
When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
