PWD Minister Kh. Ratankumar’s statement to develop entire state highway and other important roads in the state capital is soothing to ear. He mentioned the names of the roads that will receive immediate attention of the state Government. His statement reflects all that the state Government has in mind. The Government is paying the thrust to bettering road connectivity. Moreover these smouldering dusts mar the prestige of the state. Because the road is the face of the state, which cannot be spoilt. Residents at Lamphel areas expressed happiness when a team led by the Works Minister visited the area to see the progress of the road development works done at Lamphel areas. They said the suffocation caused by dusts will be eased. The residents at other areas where the Works Minister visited too made the similar expression. Having heard their comment and one knows the expectations the masses have from the Government. They want the Government to focus on road, the rests are secondary. Then the other problems like drinking water scarcity and power suplly can be taken up. Manipur has set on the path of development. The state Government has enough fund for taking up various programmes for the people of the state. Better days are ahead. The young ministers are competing in performing better works. If they cannot not perform their duties they must make way for others to come in. As the ministers compete in carrying out their duties they must keep in mind the educated unemployed youths. Thousands of educated youths are living in wilderness not knowing what to do? If thousands are applying for constables’ job there are thousand others, who hate to join active service. They look for other service and contract work. The Government has not created jobs for them. The major burden of an elected Government is the creation of jobs. Nevertheless if jobs are not created social turmoil and restlessness will be caused. Educated youths will be forced to opt for a way to enable themselves stand on their own feet. They must feel the happiness of having a Government that shows care for the hapless lots. In the past educated unemployed youths were granted financial assistance to enable them start business suited to them. Such policy or schemes are not heard these days. Initiative for extending financial assistance to the educated unemployed youths must come from the concerned department. It seems the concerned department is preoccupied with the other activities like development of Moreh as a new town. We all agree the new township at Moreh will create jobs for hundreds of persons. Let the educated youths reap the benefits of having world class market at Moreh. There may be manufacturing units at the new township being opened. The two day workshop held at Imphal might have evolved strategy where the focus is to be paid in the development of a new town at Moreh. Let us make Manipur a prosperous state. Everyone has a role to play to achieve this goal. Our young Ministers have created new hope. Manipur will reach the target it has set.
