Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren is consolidating his vote bank ahead of the Lok Sabha polls through government schemes and policies
Jyoti Kumari’s (14) life has changed ever since she started receiving benefits under the Savitribai Phule Kishori Samriddhi Yojana. The plan provides a scholarship of ₹40,000 from class 8 to 12.
Studying in the government school at Kasera panchayat in Gumla block, Ms. Kumari sitting in the front row at a function addressed by Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, expressed her happiness with the programme and how it had influenced her life.
“There are girls in my village who are just 15 and 16 years old but their parents got them married because they could not take the burden of their studies. It is very common among tribals to marry early because parents cannot afford their studies. I am thankful to CM sir who has given students facing financial burden an opportunity,” Ms. Kumari said.
Launched earlier this year, the benefit was limited to only two girls but this month the state cabinet included all girls born to a couple. The State government has approved a budget of Rs 300 crore. Currently 6.5 lakh girls benefit from the scheme.
Thousands of beneficiaries of several government schemes were present today at Chappar Toli village where Mr. Soren was speaking about an ongoing programme which the State government has christened Apki Yojna, Apki Sarkar, Apke Dwar which is focused on spreading awareness about government schemes and benefits.
Through this programme he is also consolidating his vote bank ahead of the Lok Sabha polls and he is getting a tremendous response as thousands of people were present to listen to him.
Sabita Lakda, a beneficiary of Phulo Jhano Ashirwad Yojana, praised Mr. Soren. Under the scheme people who were previously engaged in brewing country made liquor got ₹50,000 to make a fresh start. The scheme was launched when Mr. Soren formed the government in 2020.
