Sonepat: In a bid to tackle the problem of unemployment in the country, the Centre has introduced a new IT scheme for providing jobs to at least 3.5 crore people. Addressing a public meeting organised by the BJP at Rohna village here, Union Minister of State for Science and Technology Bachi Singh Rawat also listed the achievements of the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government during the past four years.

Rawat said that the export of electronic goods has also touched an all-time high up to Rs 45 crore as compared to Rs 6 crore a few years back. Similarly the country has been earning a foreign exchange of Rs 100 crore by exporting the software goods.
He said that the Central government has already taken up the work for converting the National Highways into six lanes, expansion of the railway tracks, airfields and ports.

The tax structure policy, he said, has also been liberalised in a bid to increase the revenue for boosting the development works in the rural areas of the country. Bureau Report
