Chief Minister Soren today said that our government has appointed thousands of government vacancies. Soon more government appointments will be made in large numbers. For the first time in the history of Jharkhand, a large number of veterinary doctors, forensic lab scientists, etc. have been appointed. Thousands of government appointments have also taken place in different sectors. He said that along with the role of government jobs, the role of self-employment is also important for the inclusive development of the state.
The CM was interacting with media persons in the "Badlate Jharkhand Ki Baat" Vision 2024 program organized by a private TV channel here on Monday.
“Our government has also made such laws that should ensure that only 75% of the local people get jobs in the industrial sector established in Jharkhand. In the recent past, our government has done the work of giving offer letters to more than 10,000 local youths for employment in renowned industrial institutions. In order to increase self-employment in the state, under the Chief Minister's Employment Generation Scheme, an amount of more than 100 crores has been distributed among the people in the form of loans, taking advantage of which people are becoming self-reliant,” he said.
Soren said that several ambitious schemes have been made in Jharkhand to ensure that children of all classes get quality education. Excellent schools have been started by bringing unprecedented changes in the education system. Education is being imparted in excellent schools on the lines of CBSE pattern. The number of excellent schools is continuously increasing. The CM said that along with the present education system, better works are being done to ensure that promising children get education on the lines of private schools. He said that it is the responsibility of the government for the education of children in the state. Incentives are also being made available by running several schemes ranging from competitive exams to higher level education. Our government is also giving financial assistance to the children for coaching. Children of primitive tribes are also being encouraged so that they can become big office bearers in future. Arrangements have been made for free hostel and coaching to the children of these classes. He said that our government is working with full readiness in every field, public welfare works will continue in the future as well.
The CM said that soon after the formation of the present government in the state, the global pandemic Corona hit the country and the world. Our government worked to save the people of the state from corona infection without any panic. We all had also seen the condition of other states at the time of Corona infection. In the last three and a half years, our government is moving forward with strong steps amidst many challenges. We think that we should strengthen the roots of Jharkhand. Whatever may be the circumstances, the development works should not be blocked in the state. Our government is working in accordance with the sentiments of the people of the state, making a better action plan for Jharkhand to touch new heights of development every day.
Soren said that the "Sarkar Aapke Dwar" programme was launched in the state in two phases. This program was also very successful. He said that there are many remote villages in the state where people do not even see BDO, CO, DC, SP. We tried to understand such things. Our government is thinking about how the schemes of the government can be taken to such villages. The Chief Minister said that we have done the work of preparing action plans according to their needs by reaching people's homes, not in closed rooms, due to which the benefits of the schemes are actually reaching the common people. The Chief Minister said that in both the phases of "Sarkar Aapke Dwar" more than 90 lakh applications were received. Almost 100 percent of the applications received from the general public have been resolved by the state government.
He said that our government has done the work of taking forward the 1932 Khatian-based planning policy, Sarna Dharma Code etc. in the state by passing it from the assembly. Due to legal hurdles, these cases sometimes get stuck with His Excellency the Governor and sometimes with the Central Government. The Chief Minister said that it is our endeavour to strengthen the basic spirit of the people of the state and we are adamant on working accordingly. He said that Jharkhand had to struggle in everything. Why the 1932 based planning policy and Sarna Dharma Code could not be passed in the state in the last 20 years? Why the reservation of OBC, ST, SC could not be increased? Why didn't the previous governments consider these important issues? Our government has taken these issues seriously and will continue to speak in the future as well.
Minister Alamgir Alam, Minister Mithilesh Kumar Thakur and other dignitaries were present in large numbers on this occasion.
