Addressing the Assembly on the last day of the monsoon session, Munda said as the 12th five-year plan was to take off, it was important that plans were outlined keeping ground realities in mind as the plan frame work for the state would be for the next five years.

"Jharkhand is the country's economic corridor. So the Planning Commission and the Finance Commission should give attention to the infrastructural development for its self-sustainable progress," he added.

Munda said he had apprised the two commissions and the National Development Council on the state's requirements.

Asking the Centre to evaluate the standard of living of the people of the state, which possess 40 per cent of the country's mineral wealth, he said plans should be made keeping ground realities of the state.

"There should be balanced growth," he said.

Later Speaker C P Singh adjourned the session sine die.
