Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das today said his government will launch a 'Yojana Banao' campaign by involving people, particularly the villagers, to ensure balanced growth of the state.
"Since Independence, we had focussed only on industry ignoring agriculture sector but the objective of my government is to ensure equal growth in industry, agriculture and IT sectors", Das told a press conference here.
Agriculture and IT sectors generate employment and "we want the involvement of people so I suggest them to prepare schemes according to their needs", the chief minister said adding that all the ministers, MP/MLAs, bureaucrats and officials will be visiting rural pockets, discuss with gram sabhas and villagers to prepare the schemes for 2016.
"We have over 4200 Panchayats and we will cover each panchayat to find out what sort of scheme they want to ensure development of the state", he said claiming that the year 2016 will be the "year of development" and "government of people".
Flaying all speculation about the differences within the government, Das said the government takes decision in a "collective manner and we may have some shortfall".
"Yes, we may have short shortfall and there is nothing wrong in admitting it", Das said.
Asking the people from all walks of life including media in the Nav Nirman (construction) of Jharkhand, Das advised media to avoid sensitive and unauthentic news and focus on constructive reporting as media is a strong pillar of society.
Apart from Industry, Agriculture and IT, he said government was also focusing on tourism sector, which has immense potential for growth.
"We have plan to invest and develop a 100 km tourist circuit covering Maluti, Tarapeeth, Basukinath and Babadham to attract tourists", he said pointing out that Babadham in Deoghar district will be developed on the pattern of Venketeshwara temple in Tirupati.
