Jamshedpur, May 5 (UNI) Campaign for Right to Education in Jharkhand (CREJ), an NGO, has launched a two-month-long ''Jharkhand Jana Mukti Yatra'' to build a 'mass movement' against the state government's education and industrialisation policies.

Talking to newspersons here today, coordinators of CREJ, Praveen Kumar and Joram Kujur said the yatra was aimed at unravelling the government's ''double standard'' in education policy besides launching a mass movement gainst neo-imperialism, communalism and fascism.

They said the organisation demanded introduction of common school system in the education policy.

The alleged policy of random industrialisation in Jharkhand without rehabilitating the people who have been displaced due to various projects in the state, also came under attack by the organizers of the movement.

Various people-related issues would be taken up in the proposed convention and future strategies will be chalked out to spread awareness about the 'mass movement'.

The yatra is being orgainsed by the NGO in different parts of the state. Its first phase began at Koderma on April two and ended on April 14 at Dumka.

It resumed from Hazaribagh on April 23 in its second and final phase and after covering various districts it reached here yesterday.

The yatra would culminate in Ranchi on May ten with a convention.
