Saraikela-Kharsawan: Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren said, there will not be any corner of the state where the government will not reach. The needy are taking advantage of the scheme through camps in the villages and panchayats of the state. Camps are also being organized as per schedule in 132 panchayats of nine blocks of Seraikela-Kharsawan. The Chief Minister addressed the ‘Aapki Yojana, Aapki Sarkar, Aapke Dwar’ program organized at Gondpur Ground in Simla Panchayat of Kharsawan.
The Chief Minister said that through the camps being organized across the state, the government schemes are reaching the tribals, Dalits, backward classes, minorities, women, youth, farmers-laborers and the last person of the society. The Chief Minister said that 15 thousand kilometers of rural roads will be constructed in the state. The work of providing electricity, water and roads from village to village will be done.
At present your government is providing 100 units of electricity free of cost, so far about 66 thousand people have benefited from it. In order to strengthen environmental protection, the government has decided to provide five units of free electricity to the people living in the city for planting trees in their homes and campuses.
The Chief Minister said that just as the government has fixed the minimum supporting price for purchasing paddy, similarly the MSP will be fixed for forest produce also. For this, Sido Kanho Forest Produce Cooperative Union has been formed, so that the farmers can get the right price for the forest produce. Forest produce will be purchased from the market at good prices.
The Chief Minister said that the Central Government is not paying the outstanding amount of coal royalty of Rs 1 lakh 36 thousand crore to the State Government. If Jharkhand had received this amount, it would have given two and a half thousand rupees per month to old men and women, supplied water to farmers’ fields for irrigation in thousands of acres of land, given Rs 10 lakh each to youth for self-employment, and provided gas cylinders for Rs 500. But they are not paying this outstanding amount.
The Chief Minister said that everyone needs food, clothing and shelter, without these it is difficult to live, but the Central Government did not approve eight lakh houses for the needy of Jharkhand. Now the state government is covering the qualified needy under the state sponsored Abua Awas Yojana. This will be a three-room furnished residence.
After the neglect of the Central Government, it was necessary for the State Government to ensure social security of the people here. Earlier 11 lakh ration cards were cancelled. But your government covered 20 lakh people with green ration cards. Now pulses will also be made available in the public distribution system shops. Twice a year, government clothes are also being supplied to the needy from the Public Distribution System shop.

The government is providing help for everything from preparation for competitive examinations to doing various courses. Work is being done to provide financial assistance for education to students through Guruji Student Credit Card Scheme. The government will become its guarantor. Therefore, parents should educate their daughters.
Under the Marang Gomke Overseas Scholarship Scheme, 100% scholarship is being given to the students for higher education abroad. At present 50 children from tribal, Dalit, backward and minority classes are getting this scholarship. This is the first such scheme in the country.
