Ranchi, Jharkhand – Chief Minister Hemant Soren has officially launched the “Maiya Samman Yatra” from the sacred land of Baba Bansidhar in Garhwa. The initiative aims to empower women across Jharkhand by connecting them with welfare schemes, ensuring their rights, and boosting their dignity and self-respect.
In his statement, Soren emphasized the importance of women’s empowerment in building a stronger society. “If our daughters, sisters, and mothers are empowered, our families and society will also be strong,” he said. The ‘Maiya Samman Yatra’ is a symbolic and practical step toward ensuring the well-being of women in the state.
The state government has spent the past four and a half years working to uplift women by linking them to numerous welfare programs that secure their rights and improve their social standing. This journey marks the beginning of a larger initiative aimed at reaching every woman in Jharkhand, ensuring that they receive lifelong support and recognition.
What is the ‘Maiya Samman Yatra’?
The “Maiya Samman Yatra” is a statewide campaign designed to promote women’s welfare and recognize their contributions to society. The campaign connects women with various government schemes that focus on their health, education, financial independence, and social security. It also aims to raise awareness about women’s rights and the state’s efforts to safeguard them.
By starting the journey from Garhwa, the Jharkhand government is focusing on reaching rural and marginalized communities, where women may face more significant challenges in accessing welfare benefits and services.
Government’s Efforts for Women’s Empowerment
Over the past four and a half years, the Jharkhand government has launched numerous programs to address women’s welfare. These initiatives include providing financial assistance, improving healthcare facilities, supporting girl child education, and offering employment opportunities to enhance their independence.
“With a commitment to serve, connect, and uplift, the state government has ensured dignity and rights for half of our population,” said Soren in his message. He also expressed his hopes for continued collaboration with the people of Jharkhand to witness the success of this journey.
Public Response
The “Maiya Samman Yatra” has been welcomed with enthusiasm by many citizens of Jharkhand. “This is a much-needed initiative. Women in our state have long struggled for recognition and support,” said a local resident in Garhwa, who attended the event.
The “Maiya Samman Yatra” is not just a journey but a significant step toward ensuring that women in Jharkhand receive the respect, rights, and opportunities they deserve. As the yatra continues, it is expected to make a lasting impact on the lives of women across the state, strengthening not just individual families but the entire community.
