He urged laborers to register on the Labor Department’s portal to facilitate effective data management.
In a bid to promote education, CM Soren announced the Savitribai Phule Kishori Samridhi Yojana, ensuring that the state covers all expenses for girls’ education, fostering a future where they can aspire to become engineers, doctors, and officers.
Emphasizing Jharkhand’s path to self-sufficiency by 2025, CM Soren reiterated the government’s commitment to overcoming challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic and drought. He affirmed that the state would stand independently, requiring no external assistance.
The Chief Minister concluded the event by inaugurating 113 schemes with a total cost of ₹100.69 crores, laying the foundation for 75 additional projects. A distribution of assets worth ₹68.67 crores among 653,152 beneficiaries marked the occasion.
