Jhargram, 8 January
A day after inaugurating the ambitious rural road connectivity project in Amlasole, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee told aspiring young sportspersons at Jhargram in Junglemahal that her government would create employment opportunities for them.
“Our main focus is creating employment opportunities in Junglemahal and on improving basic services such as health, education
and infrastructure. We had given Rs 25,000 each to 1,600 clubs in Junglemahal and a similar amount would
be given in the future,” Miss Banerjee said while addressing the Junglemahal
Vivek Chetna Utsav and Sport-meet award ceremony today.
To encourage the Junglemahal youths, she asked Sports Minister Madan Mitra to organise sports events in Kolkata for boys and girls from Junglemahal to expose their talent.
“Those who have enough get many opportunities, but these youths do not get opportunities,” she added.
Carrying forward her policy of aggressively pursuing development to bring back to the mainstream those who had sided with the Maoists, Miss Banerjee kicked off several projects and promised more if peace was maintained.
She laid the foundation for 24 projects which include the tourist resort in Jhargram Rajbari, community hall at Silda, Odalchua ashram hostel and nine multi-purpose flood relief centres. This apart, she inaugurated 10 projects which cover health, education and drinking water sectors.
She said her government was committed to providing opportunities for students in Junglemahal belonging to all sections, including the minority community, Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes.
During her speech, Miss Banerjee urged residents not to turn hostile if they did not get jobs under a drive to induct Junglemahal youths into the police force. “We have recruited 15,000 youths in the police force and 21,000 more as civil police. But those who don’t get jobs should register their names in the employment bank and they will get jobs according to their educational qualifications,” she said.
In the coming days teachers would be recruited for teaching the Olchiki language, she told the gathering at Jhargram stadium where the sports award ceremony was organised to mark completion of the sesquicentennial birth anniversary celebration of Swami Viveknanda.
Miss Banerjee had visited Amlasole yesterday which had hit headlines in 2004
for starvation deaths during the Left Front rule.
