Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das today said his government has vowed to eradicate child labour, migration and unemployment and very soon a bill will be introduced in the Assembly to stop human trafficking.
Addressing the 'Surakhsit Bachpan, Surakhsit Bharat' programme organised by the state Assembly and attended by Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi, Das said his government is working with total commitment to fulfil Prime Minister Narendra Modi's dream to make India the world leader.
Das recalled how he rescued several child labourers when he was the state labour minister and a bill will be soon introduced in the state Assembly to prevent human trafficking.
Stating that there are 18,000 orphans in Jharkhand, the chief minister said the state government will take care of their education and boys and girls in age group of 14-15 years will be imparted skill training and employment will be given and two centres being set up in Ranchi and Gumla.
Appreciating Satyarthi's work, Das said Madhya Pradesh may be his birth place, but Jharkhand is his work place and called upon everyone to learn from Satyarthi's life struggle.
Stating that Jharkhand has abundance of human resources, mineral resources, forests and land, Das said yet the people are poor in the state.
Stating that even now children from different districts are migrating, the chief minister said the state is unearthing individual talents through 'Bal Samagam', 'Bal Sansad' and 'Tejaswini' schemes.
