Chief Minister Raghubar Das today launched ‘Karta’ project for the people of the State and appealed to masses to install the ‘Karta’ App in their mobiles for day to day use. Launching the project and App at the Secretariat here on Tuesday, the CM said that the App will make life simpler for people in the age of information and technology.
“People can do their day to day work easily. In this connection the launch of ‘Karta’ App is a good step. People can get the services of plumber, electrician, housekeeping service, driver, guard, nursing etc just with a click on their mobile phones. This will not only ease their lives but will also help service industry people get a platform,” said the CM. Das asked people on the occasion to download the App on their mobile phones and take benefit of the services. He asked officials of the department to include service providers only after proper probe of their credentials. During the programme he talked to service providers and came to know about their needs and suggestions also.
The CM said that all the service providers should be registered with the Labour Department under the Pradhan Mantri Shram Shakti Abhiyan, so that they can get the benefits of the government schemes. In this, immediate assistance of Rs 2 lakh during the death due to accident, scholarships for the education of children, safety kits etc will be available. He said that by the month of October, the labourers associated with various projects running in the State should also complete the registration with the construction board. On Deepawali, the Government will give sarees to labourers registered with board and pant-shirts to labourers.
