Soren also launched the official website of Bokaro Press Club (BPC); inaugurated a newly-constructed Vikash Bhawan and several other projects. He distributed assets among the beneficiaries, appointments letters in Vikash Mela organised at Bokaro Club.

At least 64 projects of worth of Rs 82.08 were inaugurated while CM laid the foundation stone of 23 projects valued about Rs 24.52 crore. Speaking on the occasion Soren said that about several appointments have been made in the different departments of the State Government and job opportunities have been created for the unemployed during his tenure.

The State Government has many schemes but the people fail to avail them as they are unaware about the programmes. “Communication should be used to make such populace aware about those schemes,” urges Soren.

“People can be self-reliant by availing the benefits of the Government sponsored schemes,” said Soren. He asked from the mass to take advantage of the Government welfare schemes instead of depending it to provide them job.

CM stressed on the need to attach women with self employment in a bid to empower them with the help of SHG groups at panchayat and village level. Soren also promised for huge employment opportunities and appointments within next ten years.

“Within a short span of time I have tried to do a lot for my people, Soren said adding “I will perform much better if I get another opportunity to serve the mass”.
