It was the priority of the state government that as soon as the lockdown is over, a better framework should be made in relation to how to connect more and more people with employment, so that people can be provided employment. The scope of other employment-oriented activities including textile policy is being expanded in the State,” Chief Minister Hemant Soren said, while addressing the inauguration and appointment letter distribution programme of industrial units of four textile companies organised at Ormanjhi (Kulhi) on Monday.
The CM said that there is no dearth of talented youth and women in the state. Due to lack of proper platform, young men and women from here used to wander towards other states in search of employment. He said that the thinking of our government is to use the talent of the youth of the state and connect them with employment and give respect to their skills. Soren said that it is the policy of the State Government to ensure that 75 per cent of the manpower in various industrial institutions working in Jharkhand should be from the State. It is the priority of our government that maximum investment should be made in Jharkhand under the cooperation of the people and better policies of the government.
The CM further said that it is a pleasure to inform that today with the inauguration of four textile companies, more than 2,000 people working in the textile sector are getting appointment letters. About 95 per cent of the employed people are from Jharkhand, in which 80 per cent are women. The CM said that when women would be strong in the family, only then the coming generation would also be empowered. He said that the State Government is moving ahead with a better action plan for women empowerment. In the coming days, the result of these action plans will definitely be seen among all of us.
On this occasion, Industries Secretary, Pooja Singhal said that under the leadership of CM Hemant Soren, the Industries Department is continuously focusing on employment-oriented schemes. As per the instructions of the Chief Minister, efforts are being made to bring such industries on the ground in which the maximum number of people can get employment. Today 2000 people are getting employment from this platform, in which 80 per cent are women. Women who received appointment letters also include women who were working in states like Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala before the lockdown, the state government had assured them of employment in their villages or districts. He said that under the better textile policy, in the coming 6 months, 10,000 people working in the textile sector will get employment, all preparations have been made for it.
On the occasion, the CM, symbolically, distributed appointment letters among many women workers. He also took a tour of Kishore Exports Unit and got information related to production from the workers working there.
