JAMMU, Mar 28: Vice Chairperson, J&K SC, ST & Backward Classes Development Corporation, Balbir Ram Rattan, today stressed upon beneficiaries of loan scheme National Backward Classes Finance Development Corporation (NBCFDC), New Delhi, to make best possible use of the financial assistance availed by them so that others get employment in their small units and are in a position to earn livelihood.
He said this while handing over the loan sanction letters under Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) scheme of NBCFDC New Delhi, to the unemployed members of the backward community. The sanction letters were handed over to Ravinder Kour and Parveen Kumar for Rs 2 lakh and one lakh, respectively, in presence of Corporation District Manager, Joginder Paul Atri and social activist Rekha Mahajan.
Balbir said that the prime objective of the Corporation is to help the unemployed persons of the weaker sections to become self reliant by setting up own earning units as per their capability and desire.
“While the SC, ST, BC Development Corporation helps one beneficiary to be an earner, in many cases such people provide employment to others, which is indeed a matter of pride for  Corporation as it is indirectly proving to be an employer”, Balbir said and added that the people who avail the loan facility should help others in becoming self reliant.
The VC also appealed the beneficiaries to be regular in paying back the monthly installment of the loan availed by them.
