CHANDIGARH: AAP Rajya Sabha MP Vikramjit Singh Sahney on Saturday presented his report card on completion of one year of his term as a member of the Upper House, listing his role in curbing illegal human trafficking, initiative of ‘Sikhiya Langar movement’ and efforts to help people in distress during the floods.
“During this year, we have provided 2,000 jobs to the youth through our Skill Development Centres. I am also setting up 10 more World Class Skill Centres of Excellence to create 10,000 jobs every year, out of which the work of a state-of-the-art Centre of Excellence at Ludhiana is near completion and will begin training next month," said Sahney.
Sahney said he played a key role in acting as a bridge between the Punjab government and the Centre as he organised an interactive meeting of all MPs of Punjab cutting across party lines to create consensus for resolving issues such as pending rural development fund, stubble burning incentive fund and debt restricting of Punjab.
Sahney, who has not been availing any benefit entitled to the Members of the Rajya Sabha, has donated his salary to a fund called Shahid Bhagat Singh Scholarship established by him under which he has sponsored education of several doctors, pilots and sportspersons.
