On this occasion, the education minister said, The level of education inJharkhandmust be elevated. The education department has made the necessary preparations. Our governments top priority is to bring government schools on a par with private schools.

Currently, the programme is being implemented in Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha, Delhi andWest Bengal. Altogether 1,237 anganwdi centres (AWCs) and 505 government primary schools are included in the project, which is being carried out in close collaboration with state governments.

He said, “Utilising projects for Irrigation will help in creating a thriving agro-based economy. Looking at projects implemented by the Simdega District Administration and listening to farmers’ experiences solar-based lift irrigation can be a game-changer for farmers across the state. And, soon we will implement this project across the state.”

In Simdega, a solar-based lift irrigation system has been developed across multiple parts of the district. Solar-based lift irrigation system is providing irrigation facilities to thousands of farmers and transforming the lives of poor farmers. More than 250 solar-based irrigation schemes have been implemented across different parts of the district, out of this, more than 175 schemes have been taken for solar-lift irrigation. One solar lift irrigation system can be used for irrigating 10 acres of land.

Simdega is one of the most backward districts of Jharkhand. Farmers had to work during monsoons and during the remaining part of the year, they would migrate to other parts of the state or the country in search of livelihood. With the installation of a modern renewable energy-based irrigation system, the Migration rate in the district has also reduced. They are now participating in a different kind of vegetable production as well.

Jharkhands statehood was the culmination of a long struggle carried on primarily by the Adivasis and Scheduled Tribes.

Indian independence brought relatively little socioeconomic benefit to the people of the Jharkhand area, which led to widespread discontent with the Bihar administration, particularly among the tribal peoples.

The journey for statehood began in 1912, when it was first proposed by a student of St. Columbias college in Hazaribagh.

Then, in 1928, the Unnati samaj political wing of the Christian tribals Association demanded a tribal state in Eastern India after which a memorandum was submitted to Simons commission.

According to the 2011 Indian Census, Jharkhand has a Population of 32.96 million. The Santhal, Oraon (Kurukh), Munda, Kharia, and Ho are the principal indigenous groups, and together they constitute the great majority of the total tribal population.

Since the achievement of statehood, the government of Jharkhand has pursued an active course of economic planning and development. Information technology, transportation and , Agriculture-notes-for-state-psc-exams”>Agriculture, and local craft production have been among the prioritized sectors.

The gross domestic product of Jharkhand is estimated at 3.83 lakh crore (US$48 billion) in 202021. The per capita GDP of Jharkhand in 2018-19 was 82,430 (US$1,000).

Jharkhand also has immense mineral Resources: Minerals ranging from (ranking in the country within bracket) from iron Ore (4th), coal (3rd), copper ore (1st), mica (1st), bauxite (3rd), etc.

The Chota Nagpur plateau is the richest mineral belt in India, and it is responsible for a significant share (by value) of the countrys mineral yield. Jharkhand produces almost the entire national output of copper, kyanite (used in the manufacture of heat-resistant porcelain), pyrite (used to make sulfuric acid), and phosphate, as well as much of the output of bauxite (a source of aluminium), mica, kaolin and other clays, and iron ore.

Maximum number of 4,460 booths has been set up in Giridih district. At the same time, 3,631 booths have been made in Ranchi, 3,305 in Palamu, 3,078 in Hazaribagh and 990 in Khunti. The lowest 803 booths are in Lohardaga district. The number of booths in the remaining districts is between one and three thousand.

More than one lakh ballot boxes will be used in Panchayat . There are already 52 thousand ballot boxes available in the state. The State Election Commission has ordered 50,000 ballot boxes from Uttar Pradesh. Ballot boxes have been sent to various districts. At the same time, instructions have been given to complete the preparations for the Panchayat elections at the district level as well.

Panchayat elections in the state can be announced as soon as the festive season is over. The State Government is also keeping a close watch on the status of Covid infection. In the next meeting of the cabinet also, it is possible to decide on holding elections after consideration. However, the sources so far deny the preparation of any proposal related to holding Panchayat elections.

The three-tier panchayat elections in Jharkhand will be held in four phases in the month of December. Its preparation has been completed. A proposal regarding this will be brought in the next meeting of the State Council of Ministers. After this the election will be announced after the approval of the Governor. The state government wants to conduct panchayat elections in the state before the completion of two years of government formation on December 29. According to sources in the Panchayati Raj Department, it has been almost agreed to conduct elections in four phases in the state from December 11 to December 20.

Once the Jharkhand State EMPLOYMENT of Local Candidates Bill is enacted in the State, Jharkhand will become the third State in the country after Andhra Pradesh and Haryana having a law providing for reservation in private sector jobs for local residents. As the bill pertains to reservations of locals in the private sector, the Government gets passed the bill without much difficulty. On one side the Soren Government was getting passed three bills, BJP leaders and workers were staging Assembly gherao against the allotment of room at Assembly for offering Namaz. Inside the house too, BJP lawmakers were protesting against the allotment of room for Namaz.

It may be noted that the bill was earlier tabled during the budget session in March this year and was referred for vetting to six member committee formed by Speaker Rabindra Nath Mahto. The six member committee was headed by Labour Minister Satyanand Bhokta and members from different parties. The committee after going through the bill gave its Consent while making some changes.

The committee had added the words “private sector” in the amended bill, changing its name from ‘The Jharkhand State Employment of Local Candidates Bill, 2021’ to ‘The Jharkhand State Employment of Local Candidates in Private Sector Bill, 2021’. The amended legislation increased the salary limit to Rs 40,000 from the earlier Rs 30,000.

The draft resolution of bill mandates that every employer shall fill up seventy-five percent of the total existing vacancies on the date of notification of this Act and subsequent thereto by local candidates with respect to such posts where the gross monthly salary or wages are not more than Rs 40,000.

The Central Government or the shall not be included but the provisions of this Act shall apply on the organizations providing Services through Outsourcing to the Central Government or the State Government organization/undertaking, the bill says.

The other bill which was passed today was the Jharkhand Municipal (Amendment) Bill which gives power to the Jharkhand government to remove the mayor and the Chairman in the municipal bodies. As per the bill the election of mayor and Chairman in the municipal bodies in the state will not be conducted on party symbols. Apart from this mayor and deputy mayor will be elected by the elected councillors on the basis of majority.

The passing of the Bill assumes importance as reports about differences between government and municipal bodies have escalated in the past few months with most of the Municipal bodies in the State being represented by BJP.

It can also be progressed through its civilization and culture. There are more than 40 per cent of malnourished children in Jharkhand, more than 30 per cent are living below the https://exam.pscnotes.com/POVERTY-line”>Poverty Line. According to the data, 10 lakh workers of Jharkhand go to other states to work, in many districts the agricultural land has been exhausted. And 80 per cent of the people are dependent on Agriculture-notes-for-state-psc-exams”>Agriculture. In such a situation, how do we give them a way to move forward? There is a need to make an action plan on this

The CM said that proceeding on issues like Education, Health, pure drinking water, increasing people’s income, gender Equality is challenging. In the past, the focus was only on mining and Minerals and the Dalits, deprived and tribals of the State were left with many questions. Plans and budgets are made but the reality is different. Resources with the government are limited. Talking about Sustainable Development, at present there is a need to strengthen the root and not the twigs and leaves. It needs to be considered as to how we can increase the purchasing power of the villagers.

The CM said that Jharkhand has the lowest remuneration under MGNREGA, due to which the villagers do not like to work under MGNREGA and move to the cities. The price of forest produce is fixed by the Central government, which is very little. Tribals have been living in the forest for centuries. Forest is also their means of livelihood. In such a situation, if the tribals are found with forest produce, then the Police take action against them under the law made regarding forests, due to which they are getting troubled.
