“The proportion of unskilled labourers is high in real estate sector and there is a wide wage gap between skilled and unskilled labourers. With an aim to train these unskilled labourers, CREDAI, in association with NSDC, is planning to take this training project in 10 cities. This will help them to increase their incomes by three-four times,” said Lalit Kumar Jain, national president, CREDAI.
