here will not be any house in the state where some or the other scheme of the state government is not reaching today. Many households are getting the benefits of many schemes of the government simultaneously. Our effort is to increase the economic strength and prosperity of the people of the state, said Chief Minister Hemant Soren while addressing the divisional level program of Jharkhand Chief Minister Samman Yojana in Hazaribagh today.
The CM said that the government is working with the resolve to empower tribals, Dalits, backward, minorities, poor, farmers-laborers, elderly, disabled, women and youth.
He said that the tremendous enthusiasm of women regarding Jharkhand Chief Minister Mainiya Samman Yojana is worth seeing. In just two weeks, more than 42 lakh women applied to avail the benefits of this scheme and a record is being made of approval on these applications. Women are coming forward rapidly to join this scheme. This number is increasing every day. This scheme will run continuously and every sister and daughter will be provided financial support through it.
The CM said that half the population has an important role in the development of the state. For this reason, the state government has come up with schemes for women of all ages and sisters and daughters. On one hand, women above 50 years of age are being given pension through the Universal Pension Scheme. At the same time, girls have been linked to the Savitribai Phule Kishori Samridhi Yojana for better education. Now, under the Jharkhand Mukhyamantri Maaniyan Samman Yojana, the government is providing Samman Rashi to all women between the ages of 21 and 50. In this way, there will be no woman of any age who is not getting the benefit of the government schemes.
The CM said that Jharkhand is a backward state. Even today, a large population here is living a life of poverty. In such a situation, providing economic security to the people of the deprived and deprived society is included in the priorities of the government. Keeping this in mind, our government has implemented the Sarvajan Pension Scheme. Under this scheme, pension is being given to the elderly, single women and disabled people. We have also taken a decision to waive off the loan of up to two lakh rupees of farmers. There are many such schemes like giving ration card to the poor, Samman Rashi to women, etc., through which we are trying to provide economic security to the people.
The CM said that the door to providing government jobs to the youth in the state is open. Recruitment has been done on thousands of posts like engineer, doctor, agriculture officer, sports officer, animal husbandry officer. At the same time, the recruitment process is going on at full speed for thousands of vacant posts in dozens of departments including Assistant Professor, Excise Constable and Constable.
The CM also said that the government is also giving financial assistance to the children here who want to become doctors, engineers and officers. Through the Guruji Credit Card Scheme, the government is giving education loan of up to Rs 15 lakh for higher education to the children here on its guarantee. Our resolution is to provide better guidance to the coming generation.
Under the Jharkhand Chief Minister Mainiya Samman Yojana, applications of 15 lakh 29 thousand 883 beneficiaries have been approved in 7 districts of North Chotanagpur Division. The success of this scheme can be gauged from the fact that 93.63 percent of the total target has been achieved. In the divisional level program organized today, the CM expressed his commitment towards women empowerment by transferring the honorarium through DBT to the accounts of 13 lakh 94 thousand 82 beneficiaries.
