Share This

Jaipur: Over 1 lakh job cards have already been made for the Indira Gandhi Urban Employment Guarantee Scheme, which is likely to be launched in Rajasthan soon.
The wage rate for the urban employment guarantee scheme would be Rs 259 per day, said urban development and housing secretary Joga Ram.
“Applicants can get their job cards made through e-Mitra centres or on their own by visiting the portal. Job cards can only be made online. If any applicant wants to apply for the job card offline, he/she can provide his/her details to the municipality office. They will generate the job card online. The wage rate has been decided as per the minimum wage fixed by the labour department for unskilled labourers in the state,” said Joga Ram. “The district collector is the district project coordinator for the scheme. The action plans for all districts have been approved by the collectors after identification of various activities in their respective districts,” he said.
Among the few works that have been identified for the scheme include water and environment conservation activities, plantation/nursery work, cleaning/sanitation work, convergence activities, heritage conservation, activities related to removal of illegal boards, hoardings and banners, painting work (of dividers, railing, doors) etc.
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot had approved the new guidelines for the implementation of the Indira Gandhi Urban Employment Guarantee Scheme, on similar lines to the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), which was launched to provide employment in the rural areas. Gehlot, in budget 2022-23, had announced to provide employment for 100 days per annum to the families residing in urban areas under the Indira Gandhi Urban Employment Guarantee Scheme.
The state government will spend Rs 800 crore per annum on this scheme.
