Odisha Govt Provides 32k Jobs

BHUBANESWAR: The Odisha government has provided more than 32,000 government jobs to youths in the current tenure, said Odisha Governor SC Jamir while addressing the state assembly on Tuesday.

He said almost all of the nearly 6000 cases pending under the Rehabilitation Assistance Scheme has also been finalised within the last one year.

To strike a perfect balance between the various factors of economic growth and reduce poverty is a major challenge, he added.

“My government has succeeded in increasing the forest cover and according to India State of Forest Report 2015, more than one-third of state’s geographic area is covered with forest, which is not a mean achievement when one looks at the pressing necessity to industrialise the state,” said Jamir.
