Save My state ………. Too many Hands, No work for them

Save My state ………. Too many Hands, No work for them

Date : 10th Feb

Place : Hotel Capitol hill , convention hall

Activity : “Jharkhand Yuva Manch” …. and kinna discussion of future

“Wow” I wondered… why does the strategy for upliftment of society and “empowering” the poor starts from a plush hotel convention room? I mean the best way to “strategize” the strategy would be with the people who are the end beneficiaries of them.

I was there at capitol hill convention, waiting for the “young “leaders of Jharkhand to show up and decide the roadmap for future developments. The meeting started and ended with “vande mataram”, but I could not find any “leader” speaking about solution to chaos in Jharkhand. I could not relate to what was being discuss there, may be coz I was the only “leader” in Jeans and tees while rest in Khadi .

I was not there to join another “political party”, I was there for discussing the roadway ahead,but was disappointed.That night I could not sleep much ….. no, it had nothing to do with the “leader “ in me….. it was load shedding of power…. My place still has 15 hrs of power out of 24 hrs.

“Why don’t you start from the place you live? “ Suggested a friend, “jagruti” should start from home. I took my car and drove to meet a friend of mine. He is BSc. Gold medalist from Ranchi University. Just wanted to know how “Jharkhand” has worked for its natives. The experience was an eye opener; his family had three first class BSc graduates, one Engineer and none with a job. With all that “adivaasi” quota mayhem, how could people who deserve job didn’t get one?

His dad was still hopeful, but pointed out “an empty mind and idle body is nation’s worst nightmare, if you don’t give them job, you make them worst enemies of society

It did rang bells some where...... I wondered, ‘Jharkhand is rich with resources yet to be explored, then why people here are jobless, why don’t they find a job…or better still get self-employed ?’

Can YOU help me find my answer….. ?

SAVE my State ....

Date :February 8th

Place: Firayalal Chowk ,Ranchi, Jharkhand

Activity : effigy burning “ceremony “ of government of Jharkhand

“Wow” … I thought, can government by “effigified” ? And is it justified to blame a handful of people for present situation of Jharkhand? I don’t think so.

Since it’s conceivement, Jharkhand has been through a lot of post natal complications. Innumerable form of governments, various “well wishing” netas, Union governments and a nagging neighbor …. Jharkhand has seen it all. Still after about 10 years of subjection to mayhem both from administration and common man , my state hasn’t yet taken off for development. And by development I don’t mean broad roads , street lighting , CCDs or hukka points.

I mean are our people in Jharkhand have grown mature enough to take in the onus of development of state? I don’t think so. I don’t want to go into what the problems of Jharkhand are? There is no need to. Because most of the people are already doing that … I want to look out for options which could help my state. And I need your help for it

If we consider Jharkhand as an organization, there ought to be various stakeholders in it .Let me chalk out the various stakeholders in Jharkhand … it’s just one …. Common man in Jharkhand

Surprised? Confused? …. Even I was when I sat down to chalk out the stakeholders .

Every problem starts and ends with common people in Jharkhand, those who are satisfied with administration work with it , those who are not turn out to be Naxals …

I request you to kindly pour in your views about how to empower the common man in Jharkhand to make MY State a better place ….

I would keep sharing my views with you for further discussion
