Governor CP Radhakrishnan heard the problems of women and men one by one in a public dialogue organized in Thadhiyara Panchayat of Mohanpur block of Deoghar. Firstly, Yogendra Prasad Rai of Thadhiyara village said in the dialogue that about 150 people have got the benefit of PM Awas Yojana in Thadhiyara village, but still many people are deprived of the benefits of PM Awas Yojana. Responding to this, the Governor said that the PM’s plan is to provide a pucca house to every poor. It is possible for 150 people in a village to get the benefit of PM Awas. There is a glitch in the portal of PM Awas, as soon as the portal opens, the deprived people will get the benefit of PM Awas.
Sudan Mirdha of Thadhiyara village said that toilets have been built in his panchayat, but people still defecate outside instead of toilets. In this matter, the Governor said that women and teachers of SHGs should work to spread awareness for using toilets in the village. As soon as the work of water-tap scheme is completed, water supply will start in the toilets. Till then the district administration should provide water to the toilets through boring. Rural Madan Tudu said that there is a need to work in the direction of promoting organic fertilizers instead of chemical fertilizers.
The Governor said that Sikkim is the only state in India where completely organic farming is done. Even in Jharkhand state, chemical fertilizers are not used in traditional farming. Jharkhand can also move towards completely organic farming. Earlier, organic farming was done in India, but gradually following the western civilization, we started using chemical fertilizers and pesticides in maximum quantity instead of traditional farming, due to which our farm started getting affected. However, now we are again moving towards organic farming.
Commendable work to return the loan
In the program, Sanju Tudu, a woman of Suraj Aajeevika Sakhi Mandal, told that through SGH Group, she gave a ration shop by taking a loan of one lakh rupees, from which she is earning eight thousand rupees a month. Along with this, the loan amount is also being repaid to the bank. Appreciating her, the Governor said that women are becoming self-reliant through SHGs. The central government has promoted SHGs. Taking a loan and repaying it is a commendable task. Zila Parishad President Kiran Kumari said that on the lines of Bihar, by completely transferring the powers of Panchayeeraj to Jharkhand, demanded to provide adequate funds. Giving assurance, the governor said that each state has different methods. Panchayati Raj in Kerala is two-tier, while in other states it is three-tier. It takes time for funds to come from the Centre. At the state level, they will talk to the concerned department, so that funds can be received on time.
