Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das said on Tuesday that Prime
Minister Narendra Modi would launch three national level and two state
level schemes from here on September 12.
"The Prime Minister will
launch three national and two state level schemes here on September 12.
The first scheme is Kisan Mandhan Yojna, under which farmers will get
Rs 3,000 pension; the second is laying the foundation stone for 462
Eklavya schools exclusively for quality education; the third is a
pension scheme for small shopkeepers," the Chief Minister said in a
press conference here on Tuesday.
Das said that under the
farmer's scheme, more than one lakh farmers have been registered in the
state. As per the available data, Jharkhand is fifth largest state in
terms of farmers pension registration. Farmers between the age of 18 and
40 years will get the benefits of the pension scheme after turning 60,
Das said.
"Similarly, small shopkeepers between the age of 18
and 40 years will be eligible to get pension after turning 60. The small
shopkeepers registered with the government will get Rs 3,000 pension
per month. Of the 462 Eklavya schools, 69 will be set up in Jharkhand
for providing quality education to the tribal children.
"The
Prime Minister will also inaugurate the two state level schemes. First,
the inauguration of the state Assembly building and the second is a
multi-modal terminal at Sahebganj," said the Chief Minister.
Jharkhand
is set to get it's own Assembly building, which has been constructed on
a 39-acre land costing Rs 465 crore. It will have a sitting capacity of
162 legislators.
Modi will also lay the foundation stone for the
new Secretariat which will be constructed at a cost of Rs 1,238 crore
on 68 acres of land.
The Prime Minister will also dedicate to the
nation India's second riverine multi-modal terminal in Sahibganj built
at a cost of Rs 290 crore in a record time of about two years.
Modi
had himself laid the foundation stone for the IWAI's Sahibganj
multi-modal terminal (MMT) in April, 2017. It is the second of the three
multi-modal terminals being constructed on river Ganga under the Jal
Marg Vikas Project (JMVP). In November 2018, the Prime Minister had
inaugurated the MMT at Varanasi.
The MMT at Sahibganj will open
up the industries of Jharkhand and Bihar to the global market and
provide Indo-Nepal cargo connectivity through waterways route.
