Reiterating his Government’s commitment to developing Uppar community, Transport and Backward Classes Welfare Minister and Ballari in-charge B. Sriramulu has said that the State Government has allocated ₹250 crore for the purpose.
“Most of the youths in Uppar community are jobless. To address this issue and make the youth employable, our Government is making all efforts for developing skills among the youth. Once youths have acquired skills, they will either become self-employed or be employed somewhere,” Mr. Sriramulu said and added that the Government will extend financial assistance to those who come forward to start their own business.
The Minister was speaking at the Maharshi Bhagirath Jayanti celebrations in Ballari on Sunday. The event was organised jointly by the district administration, zilla panchayat, City Municipal Corporation and the Department of Kannada and Culture.
