In a bid to ensure employment opportunities for deserving youths, the district administration has come up with a unique initiative called ‘Mr Clean’.

While holding the first round of interviews at the District Bureau of Employment Generation and Enterprise (DBEE), Deputy Commissioner Apneet Riyait on Thursday interviewed as many as 28 aspirants under the new programme. Divulging details, the DC said the scheme would prove to be a boon for the unemployed youths, especially those who were deprived of higher education.

Riyait also said the project would start from Hoshiarpur and Garhshankar town under which car- washing services are being offered to people at their doorsteps. She added that the project aimed at providing employment opportunities to deserving candidates on one hand and offering such car-washing facilities, at nominal rates, to the people at their doorsteps.

The DC further mentioned that the administration would impart free-of-cost car-washing training to the selected candidate besides providing them with high-tech washing kits given by the Sonalika Tractors under CSR initiative. “The list of customers willing to avail this home-service would be shared with the selected candidate by the administration,” she told.

The district administration has taken slew of measures to provide employment opportunities to needy and deserving applicants amid the ongoing pandemic, which in turn has infused a sense of confidence among youths. She also lauded the efforts being made by the team of DBEE for providing employment opportunities to unemployed youth in these trying circumstances.
