Changing Employment
Patterns
|
|
RGCTP has been conceived with an idea of creating employment and it is expected
that once RGCTP is completed more than 25000 professionals would be working here.
Already 4500 professionals are working in RGCTP at present. As a natural corollary
to creation of a single job in the IT sector, 3 other indirect jobs per one job
in IT sector are created and as such 15000 jobs were created indirectly.

Education
|
|
Under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan 10,400 children have been enrolled and the ambit of
SSA is spreading its wings to cover all the out of school children/ drop-outs by
the end of this financial year. To accomplish this task a house-hold survey has
been inititated which will detect the out of school children. To encourage literacy
amongst the illiterate adults, different schemes in collaboration with Govt. of
India are being launched every year. Literacy centers are being opened in all the
nook and corner of the city so that every adult can be educated and provided basic
minimum educational qualification.
