State Planning Commission deputy chairman Sunil Kumar threw light about the draft policy at the meeting held at New Circuit House and asserted that state government was in process of compiling inputs and suggestions to sketch out a `policy’ which will help youths to build up their golden career and future dreams.
Kumar who served Chhattisgarh as an outstanding bureaucrat till retiring in February 2014 as chief secretary, outlined the draft policy and insisted that government needed handy suggestions to frame a classic Youth Policy.
“We will reach out to youths of every village and every area and every section of the society to compile the inputs for translating it into a dream Youth Policy,’’ Kumar stated.
He added that CM Raman Singh shot off a letter to Sarpanchs with an objective to ensure maximum participation of rural youths in the upcoming policy. Raman’s letter to sarpanchs will be read out at village meetings starting from August 20 at 20,000 villages.
