Banking on welfare schemes, Jharkhand CM Soren seeks to drum up rural support ahead of LS poll

The Hindu  

Nearly three-fourths of the Jharkhand population lives in villages and he wants to ensure that people are not forced to rush to block or district headquarters to claim benefits of welfare schemes, said Chief Minister Hemant Soren during his government’s outreach programme at Chappar Toli village in Gumla district. The Chief Minister is on a whirlwind tour of the State, visiting every district to make people aware of his government’s welfare measures under the Apki Yojana, Apki Sarkar, Apke Dwar programme. Studying at a government school in Kasera panchayat of Gumla district, Ms. Kumari sitting in the front row at the function addressed by Mr. Soren said parents often marry off their daughters as soon as they turn 15 or 16 years of age. “Presently, four children from Gumla are pursuing higher education abroad,” he says, citing his government’s Guruji Student Credit Card Scheme, which provides financial support to students wanting to study abroad.
