The partnership is a strategic plan to converge efforts towards attaining the vocational education and skilling component under the scheme.
The PMJANMAN scheme aims to provide basic facilities to PVTG households and habitations, including safe housing, clean drinking water, sanitation, improved access to education, health, nutrition, road and telecom connectivity, and sustainable livelihood opportunities.
TRIFED will coordinate with State Implementation Agencies to mobilize communities, provide tools, and share knowledge on economic activities. NIESBUD will conduct training on financial literacy, value addition, and business acumen. Speaking on the occasion, Shri Atul Kumar Tiwari, Secretary, MSDE, said, “In this context, the vision of the scheme draws no parallel and I am thankful that MSDE will play such a crucial role to bring it to life”.
