He made these remarks while addressing a state-level Tool Kit Distribution Programme held at Anandadhara Town Hall in Amarpur, Gomati district.

Additionally, stipends amounting to 91.08 lakh were provided to 4,554 trained beneficiaries at the rate of 2,000 each.

Addressing the gathering, CM Dr. Saha said that since the formation of the present government in 2018, both the Central and State Governments have been working towards ensuring the permanent rehabilitation and long-term welfare of the Bru-Reang community people. He further stated that rehabilitation is meaningful only when families become financially independent and capable of earning a dignified livelihood. The Chief Minister said that the tool kits provided today would enable beneficiaries to immediately utilize the skills acquired during training and begin generating income. Referring to the vision of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, he said that the central objective is not only to train young people but also to connect those skills directly with employment and livelihood opportunities. He further stated that the Central Government has already extended various basic services and support packages to the rehabilitated Bru families, and skill development is the natural next step in ensuring their long-term economic stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
