“Chief minister Hemant Soren will launch the CM Sarthi Yojana, Guruji Credit Card Yojana and Eklavya Skill Scheme at the Statehood Day function. He will also roll out the new Jharkhand Industrial Park & Logistics Policy, Electronic Vehicles Policy and the Jharkhand Ethanol Production Promotion Policy.”
CM Sarthi Yojana envisages free coaching classes for matriculation and intermediate students of schools run by the State Government to enable them to take part in national-level entrance undergraduate examinations such as IIT-JEE and NEET.
The Guruji Credit Card Scheme, designed along the lines of the scheme envisaged by its counterpart in West Bengal, will provide soft loans of up to Rs 10 lakh for state students who want to pursue higher studies. The amount of the scheme will be disbursed through banks with a fixed tenure for loan repayment. Only those students who are native to Jharkhand will be able to avail the scheme through a dedicated portal that will be launched later.
Likewise, the Eklavya Skill Scheme will be aimed at providing market-driven subsidised Skill development training to students.
