New Delhi, Feb. 21 (PTI): The Central Reserve Police Force might soon have no dhobi, safai karamchari, mali or mochi. Instead, under changes proposed by skill development minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy, it could have a laundryman, housekeeper, gardener or horticulturist, and shoemaker. "Hoping to enhance the respect of the work force in the CRPF the minister wants to do away with tags such as chowkidar, mali, mochi, safai karamchari," a senior official said. Rudy had earlier shared his thoughts with CRPF jawans and said the nomenclature associated with jobs was archaic and needed a "facelift", the official said. The minister had spoken of the need to raise a more aspirational vocationally skilled work force.
