Over 70 lakh people got employment across the country under Pradhan Mantri Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana (PM-VBRY) so far, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday as he disbursed incentives worth Rs 2,400 crore to support 15 lakh new jobs.
The government's flagship employment-linked incentive scheme, aimed at helping first-time job seekers and expanding social security coverage across sectors, was launched in August last year.
