Seraikela/Ranchi, 24 February (Hindustan Reporter). Chief Minister Champai Soren said that the government is working with the determination to change the image and destiny of the state. He said that our government is committed to making Jharkhand an ideal state where every person will be socio-economically and educationally strong. There will be no discrimination against anyone in the society. Everyone will get their rights with full dignity and respect.
Champai Soren was addressing the inauguration-foundation stone laying ceremony of various development schemes at the Town Hall of Seraikela Kharsawan district on Saturday. The Chief Minister said that Jharkhand is one of the richest states in the country in terms of mineral resources. The country and the world are shining with the minerals like coal, iron, copper, gold and uranium here, but the tribals and indigenous people of this state could not get its benefit. Even today the tag of poverty and backwardness is attached to them. Now our government is determined to advance the local people here and all appropriate steps are being taken in this direction.
The Chief Minister said that it has been more than 23 years since Jharkhand became a separate state, but no meaningful efforts have been made to solve the basic problems here. After the formation of the government under the leadership of Hemant Soren in the year 2019, the process of solving the basic problems here started. Steps were taken towards empowering the people through various schemes. The work he started to bring Jharkhand into the category of developed states will continue. According to his thinking, we will work with full strength to change the picture and destiny of Jharkhand.
The Chief Minister said that providing food, clothing and shelter to every person in the state is one of the top priorities of the government. He said that by the year 2027, every person in the state will have his own permanent house. Our government will provide permanent houses to 20 lakh people under Abua Awas Yojana. In the first phase, houses of two lakh beneficiaries have been approved and after three months, house approval letters will be given to nine lakh people simultaneously.
The Chief Minister said that the work of strengthening the basic infrastructure of the state through various schemes is going on at a rapid pace. Nearly 15 thousand kilometers of rural roads are being constructed in the state and steps have been taken towards providing water to the fields through underground pipelines. To increase connectivity between city and village, Mukhyamantri Gram Gaadi Yojana has been started.
The Chief Minister said that the society will progress only when people are educated. Keeping this in mind, the government is committed to providing better education to the children here. In this series, Schools of Excellence have been opened on the lines of private schools. The scholarship amount has been increased three times. To ensure that girls do not miss out on their education, they are being linked to Savitribai Kishori Samriddhi Yojana. The government is giving 100% scholarship for higher education abroad. Financial assistance is being given to children to become engineers, doctors and officers.
On this occasion, the Chief Minister gifted 220 schemes to Seraikela-Kharsawan district. Of these, 16 schemes were inaugurated and foundation stones of 204 schemes were laid. Rs 334 crore 12 lakh will be spent on these schemes. The important scheme whose foundation stone was laid includes Marine Drive on Kharkai River.
