Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das on Wednesday said his government's development plans in the last three-and-a-half years have led to the creation of more than 31 lakh jobs, and that more than one lakh people have been given government jobs.

Speaking at a function to mark the 72nd Independence Day of the country, he said the image of the state has now changed. "Now people of the state feel proud in calling themselves Jharkhandvasi," he said. He said more than 95 per cent of the candidates who got jobs are Jharkhandis as the government has implemented the domicile policy.
