The Self-Help Group and Self- Employment Department has prepared a programme as part of the Muktidhara Scheme to provide training to unemployed youth in hospitality management.

The implementation of the programme has been started by the district administration of Jhargram. Different organisations will be providing the training. The first batch of 28 youths is being trained in Gopiballavpur-II block. More unemployed youths will be given training in the future.

A senior State Government official said the trainees will be given both practical and theoretical training for a period of one month, and the entire cost will be borne by the government.

The youths are being given training on the preparation of various dishes, table decoration and how to behave with the clients. According to the State Government official, the trainees are showing great interest in the preparation of dishes.

With respect to Jhargram district, once infamous for Maoist activities, it is now a model of development. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee carved Jhargram into a new district to fast-track development, and the results are for all to see now.

The district has also become a major tourist hub of Bengal. Hence, the hospitality management training by the State Government would be of great help.

Surprising as it may sound, tea gardens are coming up in the newly-created Jhargram district, on the banks of the Subarnarekha. The project has been taken up by the Gopiballavpur-2 panchayat samity as part of the 100 Days’ Work scheme.

Sloping grounds have been built and the tea saplings planted. The tea saplings have been brought from Siliguri. Water has been arranged through special irrigation facilities. The plantations are being looked after by 100 Days’ Work job card-holders.

The advantages would be two-fold: employment and tourism. There are also plans to expand the tea cultivation in the district.

সুবর্ণরেখা নদীর বাঁধে মাটির ঢাল তৈরী করে সেখানে চা বাগান তৈরী করছে ঝাড়গ্রাম জেলা।

গোপীবল্লভপুর-২ পঞ্চায়েত সমিতি এই প্রকল্পের কাজ চালু করেছে। ১০০ দিনের কাজে নিযুক্ত শ্রমিকদের নিযুক্ত করা হচ্ছে এই কাজে। দক্ষিণবঙ্গে তো বটেই, পশ্চিম মেদিনীপুর বা ঝাড়গ্রাম জেলায় এইভাবে চা বাগান তৈরীর উদাহরণ প্রায় নেই বললেই চলে।

গত ডিসেম্বর মাসেই শিলিগুড়ি থেকে আড়াই ফুট উচ্চতার চা গাছ এনে দেড় বিঘা জমিতে লাগানো হয়েছে। কুঠিঘাটে চা বাগান তৈরী করে কার্যত নজির তৈরি করেছে এই ব্লক।

১০০ দিনের কাজে নিযুক্ত শ্রমিকরা ঢালু জমি তৈরী করে এই চা গাছ লাগিয়েছেন। জবকার্ড হোল্ডারদের গাছ পরিচর্যার দায়িত্ব দেওয়া হয়েছে।

এই প্রকল্পের প্রধান উদ্দেশ্য, পর্যটকদের কাছে জায়গাটি আকর্ষণীয় করে তোলা এবং কর্মসংস্থান। চা চাষে সাফল্য মিললে ভবিষ্যতে আরও বেশি ঢালু জমি তৈরী করে চাষের এলাকা বাড়ানোর পরিকল্পনাও নেওয়া হবে।

Maharashtra may have banned beef, but Bengal won’t. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday made it clear her government doesn’t want to dictate people’s choice of food and dress.

“People have the right to food. Kon mangso khabo, konta khabo na, kon saree porbo, konta porbo na, kon gaan gaibo eta tar byapar (We should leave it to individuals which meat he wants to eat, or which saree she wants to wear, or the song he wants to sing). Any diktat in this regard will only create disunity,” the CM said at a public rally in Jhargram, West Midnapore.

Mamata also warned the gathering against efforts to provoke sentiments that could lead to violence. “Those who mastermind riots take to their heels. It is the ordinary people who suffer. Let us not get into all these things,” Mamata said.

End to Maoist violence

The CM urged people to be vigilant and ensure peace in the area.

“Some people keep coming from outside to provoke villagers. I advise you against falling into the trap. Keep an eye on the surroundings. If you are on the right track, nobody can harm you. Continue with your night patrols because people are the best sentries,” the CM said.

“As many as 170 people were killed in the Gyaneswari accident. I was then the railway minister. I handed over the case to CBI to find out the truth. I don’t have the latest update of the inquiry . The victim families deserve justice,” she said.

“You have helped restore peace in the area. Don’t lose it,” she added.

 

Flood relief

The chief minister again hit out at the Centre saying that it didn’t give Bengal its due on account of flood relief funds. “We submitted the report to the Centre but haven’t received anything yet. Instead, the Centre is taking away Rs 28,000 crore on account of debt repayment.What’s more, the Centre has slashed funds in a lot of projects,“ the CM said. She has written to Prime Minister in this regard.
