Ranchi, May 31: State education and literacy department minister Ramdas Soren made a strong pitch for an inclusive education system in Jharkhand in which no student need to go to other states for higher education.
Announcing the results of Jharkhand Academic Council (JAC) intermediate science and commerce at Ranchi on Saturday along with JAC chairperson Natwa Hansda, Ramdas Soren said it has been 25 years since the formation of the state, but the education system that was inherited was relatively weak.
“But now the time has come that we develop such a strong and inclusive education system that reaches every student of the state. The objective of our government is that in the coming time, the students of Jharkhand do not need to go to other states for studies. All facilities for quality technical, vocational, and higher education will be provided within the state itself,” said Soren.
