Jaipur: The Jaipur Municipal Corporation – Heritage has surpassed Jaipur Municipal Corporation – Greater in the number of registrations for Indira Gandhi Shehri Rozgar Guarantee Yojna (IGSRGY). In JMC-Heritage around 2,900 people have been registered whereas in JMC-Greater only 904 people have been registered.
The registration for the scheme began from June 8 to give the beneficiaries 100 days employment for 259 per day in urban areas.
The concept is similar to NREGA work in rural areas. JMC-Heritage officials said that they have been promoting the scheme for a long time amongst people and hence the results have been encouraging.
In Adarsh Nagar zone area 1179 people are registered which is highest in JMC-Heritage while lowest are registered in Civil Line zone with 446.
Despite more population and 150 wards, JMC-Greater received just 904 registrations.
JMC-Greater nodal officer for Indira Gandhi Shehri Rozgar Guarantee Yojna, NK Agarwal said that they will speed up their process.
“We had organised awareness campaigns for this scheme, but we will improve our efforts. The registration is digital, but we will distribute hard copies as well. We can assure that our registration will improve soon,” said Agarwal.
Government is yet to announce the date to launch the scheme after which these people will be hired. Under the scheme, 100 days of employment will be given to people of urban areas every year.
About 800 crores will be spent every year on this scheme. Jan Aadhar card will be mandatory for registration. Along with the online application on the portal of the scheme, there will be an option to apply at the office of urban local bodies and E-Mitra centres. After this, the beneficiaries will also be given job cards.
