This scheme would guarantee employment to the teeming urban youth population with 100 days employment to a job cardholder family. So far, more than 2 lakh job cardholders, 9500 works have been identified under the employment scheme, which is said to be the country's biggest so far.
The Seed of an Idea
Employment for the urban youth remains one of the most challenging social issues faced by the state governments across the country. Covid pandemic further aggravated the situation of employment following the economic slow-down impacting one and all. To thwart any threat to social security, the state government led by CM Ashok Gehlot acted swiftly to provide maximum employment opportunities to the people of the state stating, "Every person should get employment and no needy, helpless or poor person should remain deprived of his/her livelihood. Employment should be available for people who lost their livelihood during Covid to lead their lives." In this direction, the Chief Minister took an important decision to announce the Indira Gandhi Shehari Rojgar Guarantee Yojana (Indira Gandhi Urban Employment Guarantee Scheme) in this year's budget. The employment scheme has been launched with the objective to provide employment in urban areas and is said to be country's biggest initiative so far.

William Dalrymple goes further back
Indian readers have long known William Dalrymple as the chronicler nonpareil of India in the early years of the British raj. His latest book, The Golden Road, is a striking departure, since it takes him to a period from about the third century BC to the 12th-13th centuries CE.
The bleat from the street
What with all the apps delivering straight to one’s doorstep, the supermarkets, the food halls and even the occasional (super-expensive) pop-up thela (cart) offering the woke from field-to-fork option, the good old veggie-market/mandi has fallen off my regular beat.

Upgrade your jeans
If you don’t live in the top four-five northern states of India, winter means little else than a pair of jeans. I live in Mumbai, where only mad people wear jeans throughout the year. High temperatures and extreme levels of humidity ensure we go to work in mulmul salwars, cotton pants, or, if you are lucky like me, wear shorts every day.
