Upliftment of women
The Chief Minister said that although his government has launched many ambitious schemes, for the all-round development of all classes and communities which people in villages are utilising, a special scheme was needed for the upliftment of women.
“Our government is moving forward with the resolve to honor and protect the sisters and daughters of the state. The Rakshabandhan festival is celebrated with enthusiasm, excitement, and reverence across the country. On this day, our sisters and daughters get many gifts. On Rakshabandhan day, the brother also takes a pledge to protect his sister. Today my government is also moving forward with the resolve to honor, protect, and live up to the trust of the sisters and daughters of the state,”Mr. Soren said.
The Chief Minister said that his government is dedicated to the upliftment of the farmers in the state. Mr. Soren said that the state government has decided to waive off agriculture loans up to 2 lakhs instead of just ₹ 50,000.
He said girls in government schools are benefiting from the Savitribai Phule Samridhi Yojana, and model schools are being run to strengthen the education system. Under the Mukhyamantri Rojgar Srijan Yojana, loans continue to be issued to people at subsidised rates.
Mr. Soren said that if everything had gone well, many ambitious schemes would have been implemented a year ago but some people tried to create obstacles.
Accompanied by his wife Kalpana Murmu Soren, he also inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for 215 schemes.
