माननीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi जी की मंशा के अनुरूप वर्ष 2019 में केंद्रीय वित्त मंत्री श्रीमती निर्मला सीतारमण जी द्वारा सोशल स्टॉक एक्सचेंज की अवधारणा का सर्वप्रथम उल्लेख किया गया था, जिसमें शासकीय योजनाओं के संचालन हेतु सोशल स्टॉक एक्सचेंज के माध्यम से वित्तीय प्रबंधन की अपेक्षा की गई थी। इसी प्रेरणा से माननीय मुख्यमंत्री @DrMohanYadav51 जी के मार्गदर्शन में मध्यप्रदेश शासन के पिछड़ा वर्ग एवं अल्पसंख्यक कल्याण विभाग ने देश में सर्वप्रथम इसे लागू करने का कार्य किया है।
इस परियोजना के माध्यम से प्रदेश के दूरस्थ क्षेत्रों में निवासरत OBC वर्ग के युवाओं को जापान एवं जर्मनी में रोजगार के अवसर प्राप्त होंगे।
मुझे यह बताते हुए प्रसन्नता है कि परियोजना का इश्यू ओवर सब्सक्राइब हुआ है, जिससे निवेशकों का विश्वास बढ़ा है।
इस अवसर पर कार्यक्रम में माननीय श्री जयंत चौधरी जी, माननीय राज्यमंत्री (स्वतंत्र प्रभार), भारत सरकार (कौशल विकास एवं उद्यमिता विभाग), माननीय श्री मंगल प्रभात लोढ़ा जी, माननीय मंत्री, कौशल विकास एवं उद्यमिता, महाराष्ट्र शासन, श्रीमती मनीषा वर्मा, अपर मुख्य सचिव, महाराष्ट्र शासन, श्री राजेश स्वामी, सी.एफ.ओ., राष्ट्रीय कौशल विकास निगम (NSDC), श्री सत्येन्द्र कुमार सिंह जी, सचिव, म.प्र. शासन, पिछड़ा वर्ग तथा अल्पसंख्यक कल्याण विभाग, श्री आलोक श्रीराम, एम.डी., डी.सी.एम. श्रीराम इन्टरनेशनल लिमिटेड, डॉ. के.वी. शाजी, चेयरमैन, नाबार्ड, श्री आशीष कुमार पिल्लई, सी.ई.ओ., राष्ट्रीय कौशल विकास निगम (NSDC) एवं श्री आशीष कुमार चौहान, एम.डी. एवं सी.ई.ओ., नेशनल स्टॉक एक्सचेंज की उपस्थिति रही।
नाबार्ड, NSDC, नेशनल स्टॉक एक्सचेंज, सोशल स्टॉक एक्सचेंज एवं सभी सहयोगी अधिकारियों के संयुक्त प्रयास एवं समन्वय हेतु आभार।
मुझे पूर्ण विश्वास है कि मध्यप्रदेश शासन का यह नवाचार संपूर्ण देश के लिए एक आदर्श मॉडल के रूप में स्थापित होगा।

Rang the bell at @NSEIndia, Mumbai, marking @NSDCIndia’s debut on the Social Stock Exchange, a significant step towards mobilising capital for skilling and employment. The issue is a Zero Coupon, Zero Principal instrument aimed at raising philanthropic capital to skill rural youth of Madhya Pradesh.
The partnership between @NABARDOnline, @mintechnicalmp and NSDC showcases how social finance can unlock new opportunities for skilling, global mobility and sustainable livelihoods for India’s youth.
The greatest return on investment is measured not just in capital, but in lives transformed through skills and opportunity!
