Ranchi: Jharkhand Chief Minister Arjun Munda on Monday announced a scheme of awards for those panchayats which have low school dropout rates.

"The state government will award those panchayats where dropout rates of students in school are low. The data which has been released by the central government shows improvement in the state's performance in education sector but we cannot term it satisfactory," said Munda at a seminar here.

"We invite suggestions to prepare roadmap for human resource development by 2025."

The seminar will review performance of different departments and suggest ways to develop the state. It will conclude on Friday. IANS
