- Jharkhand government launched three labour intensive programmes to restore the rural economy.
- These three schemes have been devised in convergence with the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme.
- In Ranchi, Chief Minister unveiled three schemes — Birsa Harit Gram Yojana (BHGY), Neelambar Pitambar JAL Sammridhi Yojana (NPJSY) and Veer Sahid Poto Ho Khel Vikas Scheme (VSPHKVS) — to create wage employment for workers in rural areas.
- The BHGY is envisaged at bringing over two lakh acres of unused government fallow land under the afforestation programme.
- The initial plantation, maintenance, land work and afforestation will be taken up through MNREGA.
- As per NPJSY, the government is aiming at creating agro-water storage units by arresting rainwater and runaway groundwater.
- Under VSPHKVS, as many as 5,000 sports grounds will be developed across the State.
