Some brilliant Dalit children are unable to pursue education due to economic and environmental issues. Such students have been given an opportunity to study abroad. The state government started this program in 2001, and 197 students are studying abroad. Of these, 78 students had selected the United States and completed their studies. We are contemplating to send students to other countries as well. Generally, No government sends students to foreign countries for graduation. It is a privilege that our government sends students abroad for UG courses.
Social welfare Minister Priyank Kharge was present.

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.
The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.
Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.
Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
