- Facilitate creation of 10 lakh blue collar jobs
- Direct connect between Shramiks and MSMEs, no middleman in between

How does it work?
- The portal with the demand and supply data uses algorithm and Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, for geo spatial information on demand and availability of Shramiks.
- It also provides analysis on skill training programmes of Shramiks.
- The data / information pertaining to the Shramiks and the industries (especially MSME) are being updated automatically through various whatsapp and other links.
Genesis
- The genesis of SAKSHAM took place during the Covid-19 pandemic.
