Addressing the House on Wednesday (March 18), on the last day of the budget session of the Jharkhand Assembly, Chief Minister Hemant Soren discussed in detail the state’s development, social security and plans for the coming years. He said that this session was not limited to mere debate, but proved to decide the direction of the bright future of Jharkhand. At the end of the session the assembly was adjourned sine die.

CM counted achievements of 6 years

Responding to the allegations of the opposition in his address, Chief Minister Soren described the six-year tenure of the government as historic and effective. He said that Jharkhand is now making its mark not only at the national level but also at the international level. Hemant Soren said that his government has given priority to social justice, democracy and development in the last six years. He said that in 2019 the state budget was Rs 86 thousand crore, which has now increased to about Rs 1.58 lakh crore. This is an increase of about 85 percent, which reflects better planning and financial management of the government.

Special emphasis on women empowerment, social security and infrastructure

Talking about women empowerment, Chief Minister Soren said that lakhs of women of the state are being given financial assistance every month. Apart from this, many schemes are being run to increase education and employment opportunities for the youth. With initiatives like ‘School of Excellence’, now even children from poor families are succeeding in major examinations.

The government has also taken important steps in the field of social security. The Chief Minister said that earlier, where 12-13 lakh people did not get pension on time, now 36 lakh people are getting benefits under the Sarvajan Pension Scheme. 50 lakh women have been included through ‘Maiyan Samman Yojana’ and so far Rs 20 thousand crores have been sent directly into their accounts.

The government is also bringing new schemes for migrant workers. The Chief Minister said that ‘Migrant Workers Centres’ will be opened for the safety of workers working in Gulf countries. If a worker dies abroad, his mortal remains will be brought back by the government at its own expense.

In the end, the Chief Minister said that the government is working rapidly on infrastructure, investment, industry and skill development. His aim is to make Jharkhand a developed state in the next 25 years, where all sections get equal opportunities and a better life.
