Chief Minister Raghubar Das said that his Government was committed towards providing equal opportunity to everyone in the race of development and hence has simplified the provisions of CNT and SPT Acts so that the land owners could use their land for commercial purposes also. The Chief Minister was speaking during Chandravanshi Conference organised in Ranchi on Sunday.
“looking at the welfare of the people sitting on the lowest ladder of the social strata and our strong willingness in this regard, we have removed the system of land acquisition on the basis of compensation and simplified the provisions of CNT and SPT Acts”, said the CM. A separate fund of Rs 50 crore has been allotted so that education of poor, tribal and back ward caste children remains hurdle free, he added.
“There is also a provision of a fund of `10 core under Chief Minister’s fellowship scheme for providing quality higher education for the poor children,” said the CM.
Das further said that society has always been homogeneous and several attempts were made to destroy it and there are still some forces which were trying to break the nation. “With the blessings and the path shown by Shahid Birsa Munda, Sido Kanu and other freedom fighters, we will take this state to new heights taking along the people sitting on the last ladder of the social strata and serve people making it the most developed state in the country,” he said.
“Mahatma Gandhi had dreamt of establishing a homogenous and equal society and we will act like a worker to make his dream true,” he said. Das further added that world is changing very fast and in this age of technology it is important change mentality for the betterment or Jharkhand or it will lag behind in the race of development.
“We should use our energy in removing the evils of society and take a pledge that we will never drink, never take dowry, never discriminate between male and female child, become educated and try to become skilled,” said CM. Intoxication is an evil for the society which requires social awareness for its removal.
