His simplicity and approachable nature, coupled with his strong social commitment, were also praised. He was always there to address the common people’s difficulties. His work will continue to inspire. The Chief Minister also highlighted Ramdas Soren’s work as the former Minister of School Education, where he focused on improving education quality in government schools and strengthening the basic infrastructure, with special attention on the overall development of children in rural areas.
