Shahdol, December 22 (). RSETI Fair was organized by Central Bank of India at Rural Self-Employment Training Institute (RSETI), Shahdol. The main objective of the fair was to inspire new women for self-employment through the experiences of trained women.
Along with this, accounts of women were also opened by linking them with the major social security schemes of the Central Government, Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana and Atal Pension Yojana.
RSETIs are operated by the Central Government through leading banks in each district. In these centres, young men and women from rural areas are provided free training as per the prescribed parameters, so that they can become capable of self-employment. In this sequence, RSETI fair was organized by Central Bank of India on Sunday at RSETI Center Shahdol.
In the fair, various products prepared by the trainees trained by the institute were displayed and the products were also sold. The visitors to the fair were given detailed information about technical information, agriculture-based innovations and various opportunities related to self-employment. During the programme, savings accounts of the common people were opened by bank sakhis. Along with this, the facility to join Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana and Atal Pension Yojana was also made available.
On this occasion, the women who had received training expressed their gratitude to the Central Government for taking strong steps towards self-employment by joining RSETI. The girls undergoing training thanked the government for providing free training courses like beauty parlor and said that this will give them an opportunity to become self-reliant and will open new avenues of self-employment in future.
Regarding the fair, LDM Amit Chaurasia said that to commemorate the 115th anniversary of the Central Bank of India, various programs are being organized in RSETI premises under the bank across the country. In this series, RSETI fair was also organized in Shahdol, in which trained women exhibited their products. He said that during the program so far about 20 to 25 accounts have been opened under the social security schemes of the Central Government.
