Chief Minister Hemant Soren distributed appointment letters to 238 students and wished them all the best for their better future here on Tuesday. The appointment letters were distributed at a function organised to provide appointment letters to the trained students in Kalyan Gurukul, Khunti and Jamshedpur.
“The State Government has resolved to celebrate this year as the year of appointments. In this regard, continuous steps are being taken to connect the youth with employment in Government and private sectors. The JPSC exam, pending for almost five years, was successfully taken. Action is also being taken to fill other vacant posts, including 700 teachers and 500 posts, in MGNREGA.
Prior to this, the process of direct appointment of about 600 doctors, 24 sports officials and 40 players has been completed. Apart from this, 150 youths got permanent jobs in ACC company and 200 girls working in other states were linked to employment in the textile industry in their own home. More than 900 girls were trained and made nurses,” the CM said.
He said for the last one and a half years, the country and the world have been disturbed by the Covid-19 epidemic. Jharkhand’s system also came to a standstill during this period. But, during this challenging period, work was done to connect all the needy including villagers, farmers, youth, deprived, unemployed and women with the Government.
Especially during the lockdown, labourers were stranded in other States. The labourers were not only brought back by planes and trains, but many new schemes were started for them for free food and employment, so that their morale remains up. The result of the better management of our Government was that no one died of hunger during
the lockdown.
The CM said there is talent in the youth of the State and it is being refined and linked with employment. He said the Government is working towards making the youth of rural areas self-reliant.
For this, many schemes like Chief Minister Employment Generation Scheme, Phoolo Jhano Ashirwad Yojana, Birsa Harit Gram Yojana and Shaheed Poto Photo Ho Khel Maidan Yojana are being run under MGNREGA. The Government is committed to ensure that maximum people get the benefits of all these schemes.
He added there is immense potential in the field of nursing. There is a great demand for nurses in the country and abroad. In such a situation, the government has opened the door of admission in nursing for men also. The youth are urged to take nursing training.
The CM said the Government is running many training programmes for the skill development of the youth. In Kalyan Gurukul also, training is being given to the youth in various trades.
Their placement is also taking place here. With this they will stand on their own feet and contribute in making the family and society stronger and better. With this, more and more rural youth will be inspired to join these training programmes.
He said that arrangements for internal assessment should also be ensured from time to time for the youth who have been placed after training
from here.
Soren said the youth who have taken technical or industrial training, if they want to become self-employed, then the Government has also started a scheme to provide subsidy based loans up to `25 lakh for them. They can open their own shop etc by taking advantage of this scheme.
The CM expressed hope that these trained youth
would open the door of employment not only for themselves but also for others in the coming days.
