At the same time, assets worth Rs 418 crore 21 lakh 55 thousand 242 were distributed among 3 lakh 76 thousand 497 beneficiaries of various schemes.
Addressing the program "Your Plan - Your Government - Your Door" organized at Moditola village in Balliapur block of Dhanbad district on Friday, the CM said, “This is the government of the tribals, indigenous people and the people of Jharkhand. This government is not running from Ranchi-Delhi but from villages and mohalla-tola. A mega campaign is going on to deliver welfare schemes to every person's doorstep giving people their rights with full respect. Today there will not be any house where one or the other scheme of the government has not reached. Our government is working to empower the last person of the society by connecting them with schemes.”
The CM said that the program “Aapki Yojana-Aapke Sarkar-Aapke Dwar” was organized for the first time in the year 2021. During this period approximately 30 lakh applications were received. At the same time, in this program organized for the second time in 2022, about 50 lakh people had applied in the camps regarding their problems. This program is running for the third time from November 24 this year. The way people's enthusiasm is being seen in these camps clearly shows that people have a lot of expectations from the government. He said that for two decades after the formation of a separate state, the problems of the people could not be solved properly. But, our government is solving the problems of the people by reaching their homes and doors. This trend will continue every year and during this time the government will also come to you with many new schemes. Our endeavour is to make every family happy and prosperous by joining the government schemes.
The CM said that this is the 20th camp under the program “Aapki Yojana-Aapki Sarkar Aapke Dwar” in which I myself am participating. By coming to these camps, I am trying to see what the progress of the government schemes is and how people are getting benefits from it. Our effort is to ensure that the government's schemes come to fruition in reality, so that the poor, the needy and the deprived can benefit from it.
The CM said that the work of opening an Aviation Training Center in Dumka is in the final stages. With its commencement, the young men and women here will get training as commercial pilots, ground engineers and air hostesses. This step of the government will pave the way for the youth of Jharkhand to progress in the field of aviation. He said that if the Central Government gives permission to the airstrip in Balliapur in Dhanbad district, then the State Government will move forward in the direction of developing it.
Soren said that booklets related to the government's welfare schemes will be given to students in all libraries and schools. So that, they can tell their family members and guardians about what schemes are being run by the government for them. This will be beneficial in that people will not be deprived of the schemes due to lack of information and will be able to connect with the scheme of their need.
The CM said that today is the machine age. Machines are increasingly replacing humans in factories. In such a situation, it is very important for the youth to be skilled, otherwise they will be left far behind. The government is well aware of this. For this reason, now we are giving skill development training to the youth at the block level so that they are able to maintain their place in this era of competition.
The CM said that during the Corona period, it was revealed that lakhs of laborers of Jharkhand go to other states and foreign countries for employment. We came to know about the problems they have to face here when we brought them back during the Corona period. Now these labourers do not have to go out for work, the government has also made plans for this. Now efforts are being made to provide them employment through various schemes in their villages and homes. Not only this, the government has also made a plan for the welfare and safety of the workers. You must take advantage of these schemes by registering yourself on the Labour Department portal.
The CM said that Jharkhand is not a backward and poor state. But, during the last 20 years it was left to lag behind. No one showed commitment to take the state forward on the path of development. Our government is moving towards liberating this state from the tag of poverty and backwardness. Jharkhand will become 25 years old in the year 2025. In such a situation, we will make the state so powerful in the next two years that we will not need to lend a hand to anyone. Jharkhand state will become so capable that it will decide its own path of development and will be counted among the leading states of the country.
On this occasion, Minister Satyanand Bhokta, Minister Banna Gupta, MLA Mathura Prasad Mahato and Purnima Neeraj Singh, Secretary to the Chief Minister Vinay Kumar Choubey and District Deputy Commissioner and Senior Superintendent of Police and other officials were present.
