Prime Minister Hemant Soren said on Monday that honest efforts are being made to build a strong Jharkhand to fulfill the aspirations of those for whom another state was created.
Raising the flag at the Moravadi Grounds in Ranchi, Soren said that Indian culture has no room for hatred or separatism, and that its foundation lies in all-inclusiveness.
“Our government is constantly striving to build a strong nation on the foundations of development and democracy. “I’m making a sincere effort,” he said.
Soren said tribes and oppressed peoples have been empowered socially, financially and economically over the past 75 years but failed to achieve the goal of establishing an egalitarian society.
“We cannot achieve this goal unless we succeed in preventing exploitation by others,” he said, recalling Bhagat Singh’s ideals.
Given the low rainfall during the caliphate season, the state has asked the center for a special package and an amount of 100 crore rupees has been arranged under the Crop Relief Scheme, the prime minister said.
In the 2021-22 Kharif season, the state achieved a record production of 74.16 million tonnes of food grains, he said.
Rs 158.3 crore has been authorized to provide financial support to farmers, he added.
“We have set a goal of generating 4,000 megawatts of electricity from solar power by 2027. Our government has decided to provide green space in our urban areas. If you plant it, your electricity bill will be free,” he said.
Jharkhand’s performance on the innovation index improved, with the state improving in several rankings, including parameters related to cleanliness and health of women and children, Soren said.
“While many states are becoming greener, our state is doing better in the area of forest protection, with an increase in forest area of 110 square kilometers between 2019 and 2021. Education and health levels have improved,” he said.
Under the new employment law, all employers must employ 75% local candidates for posts with salaries up to Rs 40,000 a month, he said.
“I have made clear to all departments that action should be taken to expedite the filling of vacant posts under the state government… In schools, 37,000 people, such as teachers and laboratory assistants, The posts are vacant, and following appointments in these positions by running a special drive, work has begun to complete the recruitment process over the next six months,” said Soren. .
The Prime Minister said 1,570 km of four-lane highway will be built in the state with an investment of around Rs 3 lakh.
