Jharkhand on Tuesday completed 22 years of its inception. On this occasion, a State-level function was held at historic Morhabadi ground in Capital, where Chief Minister Hemant Soren launched various welfare schemes along with inaugurating several new projects. The chief guest of statehood function was JMM chief and party Rajya Sabha member Shibu Soren, who played a pivotal role in creation of separate State of Jharkhand around two decades back.
Chief Minister Soren addressing the gathering said that Jharkhand creates a different identity in the entire country due to its mineral wealth, but also as land of heroes. Today, is not only the foundation day of the state; it is also the birth anniversary of Lord Birsa Munda. Our forefathers fought for their rights and fought many battles.
