Jharkhand to offer 2 lakh textile sector jobs in 2 years

The Jharkhand government will provide employment to two lakh youths in the textile sector in the next two years to check migration of workers from the state, chief minister Raghubar Das has said. 

The 3rd edition of Momentum Jharkhand, a global investors’ summit will be held in Bokaro in December, he said at a function at Jaitara village in Bokaro district.

The function was organised to observe the 40th death anniversary of a few dalit community leaders and its objective was to promote avenues for industrialisation in and around Bokaro, a news agency report said.

The government has taken initiatives to train women and offer them loans under the Entrepreneur Sakhi Mandal scheme, which would benefit nearly 4,80,000 women from 32,000 villages in the state, Das added.
