A move by the Vijayapura Zilla Panchayat to mandate uniforms for mid-day meal workers in schools has led to the creation of remunerative jobs for women members of self-help groups (SHGs) in the district.
The ambitious scheme to provide uniforms to mid-day meal workers in the district is expected to converge the energies of the 150 active self-help groups and the departments of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj, National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) and the district Rural Development and Self-Employment Training Institute (RUDSETI).
