Nemra (Jharkhand), Aug 4 (PTI) Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Tuesday said that youth possess boundless energy and limitless possibilities but need to be guided in the right direction.
He said the most worrying thing is that some antisocial forces are misleading and targeting the state’s innocent citizens, the elderly, women and youth.
“The present era belongs to the new generation. Our youth possess immense energy and boundless potential. However, every strength brings with it certain challenges. Therefore, it is the responsibility of us all to guide the new generation in the right direction so that they do not go astray,” Soren said, addressing people at Nemra in Ramgarh district on the occasion of the first death anniversary of JMM founder Dishom Guru Shibu Soren.
The CM, along with several leaders and ministers, visited his ancestral village Nemra in Ramgarh district to pay tribute to the late Shibu Soren, who was awarded the Padma Bhushan posthumously last month.
Soren also unveiled a life-size statue of his father at the Sona-Sobran School campus in Lukaiyatanr and said the purpose of installing this statue is to encourage the coming generation not to forget the history and roots.
“The most worrying thing is that some antisocial forces in society are misleading and targeting our innocent citizens, the elderly, women, and youth. There is only one permanent solution—our unity and respect for one another. As long as we do not live with a spirit of brotherhood and respect, the forces that seek to divide society will keep trying to weaken us,” Soren said.
Soren also inaugurated and laid foundation of projects worth Rs 102.5 crore on the occasion.
He said that brave sons like Dishom Guru have built Jharkhand with their blood and sweat.
“Now, the responsibility of adorning, nurturing, and advancing this state rests on all our shoulders. As a responsible and sensitive government, our continuous effort is to ensure that government schemes, facilities, and rights reach even the last person in the state, and that the people’s voice reaches the government directly,” he added.
Born on January 11, 1944, in Ramgarh district’s Nemra village, Shibu Soren, popularly known as ‘Dishom Guru’ (leader of the land), was one of the most enduring political figures in the country’s tribal and regional political landscape.
