Under the scheme, so far 91,049 applications have been received on the unemployment allowance portal and out of these, after document verification, 57,207 people have been recommended for approval of unemployment allowance. According to the announcement of Chief Minister Baghel, the amount of unemployment allowance of Rs 2,500 is being transferred directly to the bank account of the applicants through DBT. The objective of the scheme is to provide an allowance of Rs 2,500 per month to the unemployed and make them employable by giving them skill training.
