Chief Minister Raghubar Das on Wednesday said that the Government will give preference to local residents of Jharkhand while making recruitment in Class III and Class IV jobs. Taking the interest of the State into account, he said, it was very important to work on the domicile policy in an agreeable environment. The CM was speaking at the post-Sarhul celebrations programme at his official residence. Das also felicitated members of Central Sarna Committee on the occasion.
Talking about large-scale migration in the State, the CM said that the State Government will set up a Scheduled Tribes Development Council in which participation of Self-Help Groups (SHG) will be ensured. “We want maximum decentralisation of the Government. The Government wants to attach every youth to skill development programmes and make them skilled so that they get employment with their own set of skills. It is important to get help from all sections of society for development of the State,” Das said.
Speaking about the ill effects of intoxicants, the CM said that the society should be freed from all sorts of intoxicants and save the coming generations from getting ruined. For this, he said, women and youth of the State will have to come forward. “In order to have an educated society for social change, the State must get 100 per cent literacy rate. Keeping this in mind, I will spend one day every month in tribal villages of the State and urge the villagers to send all kids to schools,” he said.
“No one can destroy the culture of the nation and culture of the state is ancient. We have the responsibility to keep our culture and language intact. They keep us integrated in the society. The Government will make all efforts to preserve the culture of the State,” the CM said. Ranchi Mayor Asha lakra, Simdega MlA Vimla Pradhan, Mandar legislator Gangotri Kujur, Sports Secretary Vandana Dadel, DC Ranchi Manoj Kumar and SSP Ranchi Prabhat Kumar and large number of people were present in the gathering.
