Chief Minister Raghubar Das today said that the Government of Jharkhand is providing all possible assistance to all the investors setting up industries in the State.  “We have made good policies. Employing youth is the biggest priority of the government. The government is giving considerable concessions to companies employing our children.

This is the reason why textile, footwear and food processing companies are coming to Jharkhand. A large number of youth of Jharkhand are getting employment in them,” said the CM during his interaction with the Chairman of the ROGER Group and the Chinese delegation here on Friday.

The ROGER Group is setting up a footwear safety garment and nonwoven fabric factory in Burmu Industrial Area, Jharkhand, in association with Chinese company 'Lioncare'. Members of the delegation said that the policy of Jharkhand is very good.  Many big companies are keen to invest in Jharkhand.  Products made in this factory will be sold in Europe and American market. After its commencement, a large number of local people will get jobs. The meeting was attended by Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister, Sunil Kumar Barnwal,  Industry Secretary K. Ravikumar, Kuber Singh of Roger Group, Wendy Liu, Director of Lioncare, and Luka Liu, Marketing Manager.

Earlier, the CM also released the “Tribal Atlas” (The TRIBAL ATLAS OF JHARKHAND) by the Tribal research Institute. On the occasion Das said that it is a matter of great pleasure that “Tribal Atlas” is being published by Dr Ram Dayal Munda Tribal Welfare Research Institute Ranchi, and Scheduled caste, scheduled tribe, Minorities and Backward Classes Welfare Department.

The Chief Minister said that availability of atlas in the form of data, graphs, maps etc related to all the tribal communities of Jharkhand is very important.

He said that the information will be utilised in future in the formulation and implementation of tribal schemes, research work and other studies.  The CM expressed his best wishes for the success and popularity of the publication of "Tribal Atlas".

On this occasion, Minister Dr. Louis Marandi said that the collection of data related to social, cultural, economic demographics of all tribal communities in the State of Jharkhand is very important and beneficial.  This publication will definitely help in the formulation and implementation of tribal welfare schemes of the State. On this occasion, Himani Pandey, Secretary of Welfare department, Dr Ramdayal Munda, Director, Tribal Welfare Research Institute, Ranendra Kumar and others were present. The CM also talked to Union Railway Minister Piyush Goyal through telephone on Friday and said that the people of Santhal Pargana will soon get the gift of a new train.

Soon 70 km railway line will start to Dumka via Jamtara, Fatehpur, Nala, Kundi, and Masliya. With this a railway over bridge will be built in Mihizam. Goyal has given a positive assurance to the CM to take the initiative soon after agreeing on this. Das said that he himself has felt the need for this during his visit to the region. With the construction of this railway line, the area will be developed and the people will get a lot of benefits.  The decades-old demand of the people of this region will be resolved. Movement of the people will  become easier.  Along with this, construction of railway over bridge in Mihizam was also approved.
