"The impact of the government's efforts on skill development is also in front. People are getting employment in their home. Earlier, our girls had to go to another State for jobs of Rs 7-8 thousand. They were exploited in every way. Now they will not only get rid of the life of hell, they will also get employment of 12-13 thousand rupees in their house," media reports said quoting Das.
