Bihar Man's 'LinkedIn' Connects Workers with 1 Lakh Jobs
Imagine a special website and app, like LinkedIn, but for people who do jobs like building things.
A man named Chandrashekhar Mandal made it.
It's called Digital Labour Chowk.
It helps workers like masons and painters find jobs easily.
Before, these workers had to wait in groups to find work.
Now, they can use the app to find jobs that pay fairly and give them benefits.
This platform helps over a lakh of workers find steady jobs, replacing the old way of finding work.
It also gives workers a way to have a real identity for their work.
