Council approves final project draft
The Kozhikode Corporation Council on Tuesday approved the final project draft for a comprehensive employment scheme that aims at providing jobs to 5,000 people in five years.
The project has been readied to meet the post-COVID financial crisis in the city and is expected to benefit mostly youngsters aged 18 to 40 years. The welfare standing committee of the civic body drew up the project based on the findings of a recent workshop involving various departments such as agriculture, industries, animal welfare and fisheries, and Kudumbashree Mission. The project cites 91 vocations that could provide profitable livelihood opportunities.
The Corporation is seeking technical help of the Indian Institute of Management as a consultancy for the smooth functioning of the project. The Calicut Management Association has also extended support to the project.
