Eighty per cent of the population of Jharkhand lives in villages. Before the formation of the government, I had said that our government will be run from the villages and panchayats. To give the benefits of the government schemes to the people of the state, the people here will not be called to the block office and district headquarters, but your government will itself come to your doorstep and solve your problems. To achieve this objective, our government is organizing the third phase of ‘Aapki Yojana, Aapki Sarkar, Aapke Dwar’ program in villages and panchayats,” said Chief Minister Hemant Soren at the “Aapki Yojana, Aapki Sarkar, Aapke Dwar” program organized at Kasira Panchayat in Gumla on Tuesday.
The CM said that work is being done to provide better education to the students and youth in the state. Financial assistance is being provided under Savitribai Phule Kishori Samriddhi Yojana to ensure that daughters do not miss out on education. Guruji Student Credit Card Scheme has been started for higher education. The government will provide financial support to the students studying under this scheme. The state government is providing 100 per cent scholarship to the Dalit, tribal, backward and minority children for higher education abroad. Presently Gumla's four children are pursuing higher education abroad. There is a plan to start five thousand excellent schools in the entire state. At present 80 schools of excellence have been started in the state, he said.
Soren said that the training centers previously run for skill development at the district level have been started at the block level. It is important to be skilled according to the changing times and demands. If this does not happen, humans will be replaced by machines. The CM said that the players of the state are performing better in the field of sports. Recently Jharkhand hosted the Women's Asian Hockey Champion Trophy. Your government is considering bringing forward not only financial assistance to the players here but also government appointments.
He said that the Central Government did not approve the housing of the eligible deprived poor. But your government will provide housing to eight lakh needy people of the state. Every poor will have his own house. The government will fulfill the dream of 8 lakh poor people of having their own house under the Abua Housing Scheme. If necessary, the scope of the scheme will be expanded further so that no needy remains without a home. We will collect every penny and provide accommodation to the needy.
The CM urged the women dissociate with Hadiya, liquor manufacturing and sales. Under the Phulo Jhano Ashirwad Yojana, the government is providing Rs 50 thousand to the women involved in this work so that they can also get involved in a respectable livelihood.
On this occasion, Minister Satyanand Bhokta, Minister Badal, Gumla MLA Bhushan Tirkey, Sisai MLA Jiga Susaran Horo, Secretary to the Chief Minister Vinay Kumar Choubey, Deputy Inspector General of Police, Deputy Commissioner Gumla, Superintendent of Police Gumla, district officials and thousands of others were present.
