Ranchi, Nov. 8: The Jharkhand government will soon decide on abolishing the application fee for the tribal and scheduled caste students taking various competitive examinations.
Chief Minister Hemant Soren announced this in a meeting with the tribal students’ unions and the tribal-indigenous organizations, which met him to express their gratitude for the decision of the state government to withdraw the cases filed against ST/SC students during the Bharat Bandh on April 2, 2018.
Soren said that before the formation of his government, the application fee for the examinations conducted by the JPSC and the JSSC was very high, which he decided to reduce. “Now the government will soon decide on completely waiving the application fees for competitive examinations,” he said.
The chief minister said that whether it is the government or the private sector, the government is continuously working towards employing the youth on a large scale. He said that recruitment has been done on thousands of vacant posts in many departments and the recruitment process for many posts is going on. “No rigging of any kind will be allowed in appointments,” he maintained.
Government funds for bail to tribals and Dalits
The chief minister said that the maximum number of tribals, Dalits, and backward classes are lodged in the jails of Jharkhand. “They have been serving jail sentences for many years in ordinary cases because they do not have the money to get bail. In such a situation, resources will be made available by the government to ensure that they get bail,” he pointed out.
Learn to live with tribals, natives
The chief minister said that there is a gang in the state which is confusing the tribals and indigenous people and is also trying to influence the working style of the government. “We have to remain alert from such gangs. All the people working here will have to learn to live together with the tribals and natives and take care of their feelings,” he maintained.
Strong decisions
The chief minister said that his government is continuously taking many decisions keeping in mind the interests, hopes, and aspirations of Jharkhand and the people of Jharkhand. “The results of our decisions have started to be seen and the coming generations will take advantage of it more strongly,” he added.
