DC initiates process for formation of 6 new panchayats in Bokaro assembly segment
Bokaro: In a significant administrative move, Bokaro deputy commissioner Ajay Nath Jha initiated the process of forming six new panchayats in the 19 long-neglected and displaced villages, drawing huge appreciation from the displaced people living in peripheral areas of Bokaro Steel Plant (BSL). With the move, the administration aimed to address long-pending issues of rehabilitation, land mutation and development among the displaced population of the Bokaro assembly segment. MLA Shweta Singh, who played a key role in bringing the issue to the state's attention, met DC Jha on Friday along with a group of displaced people and appealed to take up the process on land mutation and document digitisation to fast-track the panchayat formation process. "A detailed proposal should be prepared by the department of land resources (DLR), along with BSL, and they should get the mutation of the acquired land done in Register-2, and the work of digitisation of the documents available in the DLR office should be completed as soon as possible," the MLA said. Meanwhile, Jha stressed the administration's seriousness in resolving the issues faced by families displaced during the 1960s industrial expansion, particularly due to the establishment of Bokaro Steel Plant (BSL). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why Are Houses In Dubai So Cheap?

He also directed officials to submit a comprehensive proposal for forming panchayats in the affected villages. He said once the panchayats are formed, they will ensure faster implementation of govt schemes, improve transparency, and help deliver essential services like health, education, clean water, roads and electricity more efficiently. The DC also directed the DLR to prepare detailed data regarding the geographical boundaries, infrastructure requirements and population metrics of the proposed panchayats. Jha also stressed the need for digitising all land and rehabilitation-related documents to create a transparent and accessible information system. He directed both BSL and DLR to ensure that all acquired lands were mutated in Register-2 to avoid future legal disputes, prevent illegal land transactions and clarify ownership rights. The DC also gave instructions for the preparation of a list of displaced individuals, a record of vacant land, and detailed maps to support future planning.

Jharkhand tribal girl Rashmi meets Prez Murmu after historical educational milestone
Ranchi, Tribal girl Rasmi Birhor stood quietly among the crowd in a small hamlet in Ramgarh back in 2016 when then Jharkhand Governor Droupadi Murmu visited the hamlet. Though their interaction was brief, it ignited a dream in the girl that would change her life. Jharkhand tribal girl Rashmi meets Prez Murmu after historical educational milestone Now in 2025, Rashmi has emerged as the first matriculate and graduate from the Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group community in Ramgarh. When the news reached Murmu, the current President, it culminated as a 'dream-come-true' for Rashmi. Rashmi got a special invitation from Raj Bhavan during the President's two-day visit to Jharkhand, which ended on August 1. The meeting was a deeply emotional one, not only for Rashmi and her family, but also for the community and institutions that supported her along the way. "Meeting her again — this time as the President of India — felt like a dream," Rashmi said, according to a statement from the Tata Steel Foundation. She was accompanied by Deepak Kumar Srivastava, assistant manager of community development at the Tata Steel Foundation , West Bokaro, whose team had played a pivotal role in her academic journey through the Akansha Project — TSF's flagship initiative supporting first-generation learners from PVTG communities. During the meeting, Rashmi expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the President, who made her feel welcome and comfortable by conversing with her in Santhali. Rashmi joined the Akansha Project in 2017. With support for residential schooling, financial aid, and consistent mentorship, she completed her schooling from St. Robert's Girls' School, Hazaribagh, and later graduated from GM Evening College, Hazaribagh. "Her achievement is a testament to the long-term impact of the Akansha Project and reflects the power of inclusive education to uplift marginalised communities. Rashmi's interaction with the Hon'ble President today not only celebrates her personal milestones but also highlights the growing aspirations of PVTG youth," the Tata Steel Foundation said. Anurag Dixit, general manager, West Bokaro Division, Tata Steel, shared: "This is a moment of immense pride for Tata Steel and the entire PVTG community. Rashmi's meeting with the Hon'ble President is not just symbolic; it is historic. Her journey reflects the very purpose of the Akansha Project: breaking systemic barriers and enabling transformation through education." The Akansha Project, launched in FY 2013 by the Tata Steel Foundation, works to bridge educational gaps for students from PVTG communities by providing access to residential and non-residential schooling, financial assistance, and holistic academic support. Over 80 Birhor students have benefited from the initiative so far. Rashmi's family - her father Sudhanshu Birhor, mother Sava Devi, and younger brother Manish Kumar are proud of her achievements. For their village and community, Rashmi has become a beacon of hope and a living example that education can rewrite destinies. Her meeting with President Murmu - the same woman who once inspired her as governor - is not just a personal victory but a milestone for hundreds of children across tribal regions of the country who now know that dreams, however distant, are within reach.
