Rs 250 Subsidy on 10 Litres of Petrol will really help people in this pandemic

Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren stated that BPL families will receive a subsidy of Rs 25 per litre for up to 10 litres of petrol every month. Soren said his government is working relentlessly to develop a Jharkhand free of fear, starvation, corruption, and extremism as he unfurled the Tricolour at Dumka Police Line on the 73rd Republic Day. 

Petrol Subsidy for BPL Households, Took Effect on Republic Day

On the two-year anniversary of the JMM-led government in the state, the chief minister announced last month a petrol subsidy for BPL households, which took effect on Republic Day. "Under the CM-SUPPORTS scheme, impoverished two-wheeler owners can earn a subsidy of Rs 25 per litre for up to 10 gallons per month starting today." "The money will be deposited immediately into their bank accounts," he explained.

Two-Wheeler Owners Can Apply Through CM-SUPPORTS Scheme 

BPL ration card users in the state can apply for the subsidy through the CM-SUPPORTS scheme. So far, 73,000 applications out of a total of 1.04 lakh have been granted. Soren stated that his government has made efforts to create jobs and ensure that the general public is involved in administration and development. "According to the Centre's educational index, Jharkhand has gained 29 points in the last year, the most in the country." 

"With the availability of contemporary infrastructure and quality teachers, a total of 80 schools of excellence, 325 block-level leader schools, and 4,091 gramme panchayat-level model schools are being built," he said. Around 250 schools in various districts have been picked for a pilot project to develop a mother tongue-based teaching system, he said. Soren said the country had seen what happened to migrant workers after the pandemic broke out and the country was put on lockdown.

"Immigration cannot be entirely prevented. As a result, we wish to do something to help migrant workers. In the districts of Dumka, Gumla, and West Singhbhum, the 'Safe and Responsible Migration Initiative' will be implemented as a pilot project. "Later, after evaluating the challenges associated to the migration of labourers from Jharkhand, a 'Comprehensive Migration Policy' will be established in the next 18 months," he said. 

Emphasized On the Importance of Creating Jobs

More than 80 lakh unorganized sector workers in the state have registered on the government's e-shram portal, according to Soren. He emphasized the importance of creating jobs, saying that steps had been taken to expedite the process of filling empty positions in the state government, which has been languishing for years.

To give Jharkhand's youth the best chance at government jobs, it has been made obligatory to pass grades 10 and 12 from a state-approved institution, as well as have a working grasp of the local language and culture, he said. "The Employment of Local Candidates in the Private Sector of Jharkhand State Act, 2021" was passed by the state government to secure 75 percent reservation for local youths in the state's industries, and this endeavor will assist reduce unemployment.

“Aapke Adhikar Aapki Sarkar Aapke Dwar” Scheme Helped Over 3 Lakhs Individual

Soren expressed his dissatisfaction with the fact that lakhs of old persons in need were not receiving the benefits of the Universal Pension Scheme. "We have determined that all old individuals, with the exception of those who are taxed, will be eligible for this scheme's benefits." "The 'Aapke Adhikar Aapki Sarkar Aapke Dwar' scheme has already helped over 3 lakh individuals," he added.
