Today is the era of technology. From factories to common life, machines are taking place. In such a situation, it is necessary for youth to be skilled. Therefore, the government's special emphasis is on skilling the youth of the state. In this series, a skill development college will be opened in the capital Ranchi at a cost of about Rs 300 crore. Different young men and women will be trained here,” said Chief Minister Hemant Soren today while giving appointment letters of various institutions/institutions to about 500 students of ITI Skill Development College/Nursing and Welfare Gurukul run by Prejha Foundation.
The CM said that Jharkhand is counted among the backward states of the country. The government is working fast to remove the state from poverty and backwardness. He also said that 80 per cent of the population here lives in villages. They have to face many challenges for livelihood. Keeping this in mind, the government is promoting economic activities in the state, so that rural youth can increase their income by connecting them with self-employment.
He said that there is no harm in migration of youth for better income and better future. If we execute our works in a better way, then definitely the wheel of the state's economy will also turn. We will make a strong and developed Jharkhand with everyone's cooperation.
The CM said that the schemes made by the government for the strengthening of the rural economy, especially for tribals, dalits, minorities, backward, farmers, labourers, women, youth and the elderly, are showing better and pleasant results. In this, the allies, who were associated with the government, have also cooperated fully.
Soren said that the government is continuously moving forward in the direction of strengthening the health infrastructure in the state and providing better health facilities to the people. In this series, educated rural youths are being given license to operate medicine shop at Panchayat level. To further strengthen this system, we are moving towards making a medical circuit. Under this, the medicine shop operators will be connected online with the doctors so that in case of emergency, they can give medicine to the patients after consulting a specialist doctor. The CM said that this is just the beginning. In the coming days, the link of Panchayat level medicine shops, test houses and ambulance service etc. will also be connected.
The CM said that Azim Premji Foundation and Apollo Group have expressed their willingness to invest in the health sector in the state. Medical colleges and hospitals are to be opened by them. Apart from this, many more hospitals are opening in the state. Modern Cancer Hospital has been opened in Ranchi by the Tata Group a few days back. In such a situation, there is a lot of potential for the youth in the field of nursing. Our government has decided that now boys can also do nursing courses. For this, all necessary procedures will be completed soon.
Soren said that all the institutions in the state which are providing skill training to the youth here, should prepare a database and share it with the government as well, so that it would be convenient to connect them with employment and self-employment. The government has made a law to reserve 75 per cent of the jobs in the private sector in the state with a monthly salary of up to 40 thousand for the locals. In such a situation, trained youth will get jobs here too.
