Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) is our central paramilitary force that guards India’s borders with Nepal and Bhutan. SSB has come up with an initiative named as ‘Man Friday’ programme. It will be formally launched on September 7 in Delhi.
Officials from Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) found that many domestic workers are trafficked from border areas. SSB decided to train and groom rural youth. The programme called ‘Man Friday’ (though it will train girls too) is intended to produce “multi-talented” domestic workers by training boys and girls from villages in border areas and regions that have been under the Maoist influence. It will be helpful for them and urban households could have the option of the hiring of skilled and well-trained youth. These boys and girls will be able to handle all the regular household jobs along with other tasks like banking work, machine repairing work, etc.
The ‘Man Fridays’ will be trained at eight centres of SSB, which are Pithoragarh (Uttarakhand), Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh), Falakata (West Bengal), Bongaigaon (Assam), Debendranagar (Assam) and three places in Naxal affected districts – Bhilai, Ranchi and Muzaffarpur.
