On a day full of new hopes and expectations and the result of the untiring efforts of Chief Minister Hemant Soren, the remote and inaccessible area of Budha Pahad in Garhwa affected by extremism is now ready to join the mainstream and write a new chapter of development. The CM inaugurated the Budha Pahar Development Project (BPDP) after reaching the Maoist stronghold on Friday. Under this project, all the basic necessary essential and basic facilities will be provided in this area with Rs 100 Crore. The CM said that in Budha Pahar area of Tehri Panchayat of Garhwa district, instead of crackling of bullets, the echo of development would be heard.
While addressing the local people at Budha Pahar, the CM said that once this area was witness to the terror of Maoists. The Maoists had kept the whole area under their control. However, our security forces have made the entire area Naxal free by giving a tough challenge to the Maoists. Today we all have gathered here and are going to make a new beginning of development. Perhaps for the first time such a pleasant atmosphere is being seen here. In the coming days, this area will also prove to be a milestone in terms of development.
The CM said that due to whatever reason the youth have taken the path of disorientation. I tell them to come back to the mainstream. He said that deviating from the mainstream is not the solution to any problem, you can lead a better and safer life only by staying in the mainstream.
Soren said that with the help of guns, you can create an atmosphere of fear and dread for some time, but it is neither in your interest nor in the interest of the society. Leave the gun and join the government. Today the government is working to cover you with schemes by coming to your doorstep. By joining these schemes, choose the way to live with respect and self-respect.
The CM said that today the government has a better policy for surrender of people who have deviated from the mainstream. He said that on the one hand, the government not only makes them benefit from the government's schemes for their development, but also makes complete arrangements for the open jail for them to live with their families and for the education of their children.
The CM said that the government has made plans for the development of every section and class. Plans are being implemented according to your hopes and expectations. You take advantage of these schemes. Through these schemes, you become so strong, self-reliant and self-reliant that you never need to take ration and grants from the government.
He said that today a change is taking place in society. Men and women are not less than each other in any sense. In many ways, more women than men are working consciously. By getting help from the government, she is earning profit by taking tractors and passenger vehicles and giving them on rent and is uplifting her family.
Soren said that the government has planned to promote forest products. Under this, the MSP of forest produce will be fixed, so that the villagers dependent on it can get a reasonable price for the forest produce. The government will buy these forest products.
The CM said that the government is going to work to open a medicine shop in every village. People who have studied up to Inter will also be able to get licenses to open these medicine shops. Along with this, these medicine shops will be connected with the government doctor through mobile, where 24 hours online service will be available.
He said that many of our forefathers had sacrificed their lives for the protection of water, forest and land. He said that his father Dishome Guru Shibu Soren had fought a long struggle by mobilizing the tribals to get the status of a separate state for Jharkhand. Many agitators had given their martyrdom. He did the work of making people aware by going to every corner. For this, the then Prime Minister Late Indira Gandhi also honoured him. Today we have to renovate Jharkhand according to the dreams of our forefathers.
The CM said that you have given me a chance to form the government. It is our responsibility to solve your problems. On this occasion, people apprised the CM about their problems. He instructed the present officials to take initiative to solve their problems. In this sequence, he also had food together with the villagers.
