Guruji Credit Card
Soren said that schemes like Savitribai Phule Samridhi Yojana and Guruji Credit Card are being run focusing on a good education system for the coming generation of the state.
The chief minister said that now daughters are not a burden, and requested all the people to provide higher education to their daughters.
“Now the state government will help them in all things including education, and marriage of the daughters of the state,” he assured.
The chief minister said that the state government is making arrangements for free food in the hostels of all the tribal and minority-class children of the state so that the children can pay more attention to their studies.
He said that earlier only tractors and ploughs were provided to the villagers for agricultural work, but his government is providing tractors as well as many vehicles including Scorpio, Bolero, buses, and autos to the rural unemployed people so that more and more people can join their self-employment.
