“The cabinet nodded to give the benefits of Savitribai Phule Kishori Samriddhi Yojana to all the family’s daughters. Now, daughters will not leave their studies. The government will also help them to pursue higher education. Students can pursue higher education through the Guruji Student Credit Card Scheme. The government will provide them financial assistance up to Rs 15 lakh,” he pointed out.
Soren was speaking at the district level “Aapki Yojana, Aapki Sarkar, Aapke Dwar” programme organized at the High School ground of Roladih Panchayat, Manjhari, located in Manjhari block of West Singhbhum district.

The chief minister said we want to go from village to village.
“Earlier, the plans and voice of the state government did not reach the villages. But now the government’s plan and voice are reaching every village. Our government will run from the villages. Now, by organizing village-to-village camps, the benefits of public welfare schemes are being given to farmers, youth, students and other needy people,” he added.
