The government in collaboration with the private sector is finalising a scheme to provide employment to the poor and minorities, Corporate Affairs Minister Salman Khursheed said today.
He said instead of enforcing reservation in the private sector, the scheme would run in cooperation with the corporate world.
Khursheed added there is great demand of skilled drivers, fitters, electricians, security guards and nurses in the corporate sector.
"The central government will join hands with the private sector and companies to provide employment to people living below the poverty line and minorities," the minister told reporters here.
Under the scheme, he said, "first training would be given to eligible candidates on the basis of which employment will be provided."
Khursheed said the government had also decided to implement a carbon credit system to check pollution.
