Exclusive industrial units employing women from the tribal regions of Thane district will be set up soon, Maharashtra Minister of Labour, Excise and Environment, Ganesh Naik, has said.
This would be the first such project in the State, said Naik, who is also Thane’s Guardian Minister, while addressing the regular weekly Janata Durbar here.
Tribals, especially women, are forced to leave their villages and migrate to other areas in search of employment. This problem is mostly experienced in the predominantly tribal regions of Mokhada, Vikramgadh, Talasari and Jawhar, he said.
In order to put a permanent end to this problem, it has been decided to set up industrial units exclusively for women from these regions. These units will ensure permanent employment and income for the tribal women and start functioning very soon.
He directed the district administration to work towards setting up the units and make available funds from the tribal sub-plan for the project.
