Chief Minister Hemant Soren said that today the state government has started a new scheme for the coming generation. Today the meritorious children of the state are being rewarded. The thinking of our government is that the children of Jharkhand may be studying in government schools here, CBSE or ICSE board. The government has started this scheme with the aim of strengthening the enthusiasm of the children who study seriously about education and to increase their awareness towards education so that children become more promising.
The CM was addressing students at the “Prize Distribution Ceremony” organized by the Department of School Education and Literacy in the Jharkhand Ministry Auditorium here on Monday. He felicitated the students, who got the first / second and third position in JAC / CBSE / ICSE Board Exam 2022 and Olympiads of the Jharkhand State.
Soren said that the purpose of the prize distribution scheme is to encourage the children doing well in the field of education in the state. The Education Department has given a complete shape to this work today. The CM said that at present, money is needed for enrollment in good schools and educational institutions and laptops and mobiles are essential for studies. Through this they can fulfill the technical needs. Today the state government is providing all these necessary things to the meritorious students in the form of prizes.
The CM said that our government is also trying to cooperate with the parents of these children, so that they do not have to worry much about the ladder after 10th and 12th and promising children can get help. The CM said that in this era of competition, awareness about education was seen among the children here. Its better results have been seen. Today promising children have been felicitated. Looking at the potential of these children, it seems that in the coming days more children may come forward. The government will give respect to all those children so that they can do better.
The CM said that Jharkhand has the ability to stay ahead not only on mineral wealth but also in intellectual capacity. This is the reason why the children who were sent abroad for free higher education by the government are now standing on their own feet. He said that many children who went abroad to study have got jobs abroad.
On the occasion, the CM presented a cash amount of Rs. 1 crore 32 lakh, laptop and mobile among 130 students. He also inaugurated a coffee table book containing the information and achievements of the art festival organized under the Khelo Jharkhand and Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan organized for intellectual and physical development among the players.
