Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that if there is yearning, longing and sensitivity to do any big work for public welfare, then the work becomes easy. The youths should have the eagerness to do something great. An experiment has been conducted for the betterment of good governance through the Chief Minister's Young Professionals for Development Programme.
The public will benefit from this. If there is monitoring of plans at any level, then the work starts showing better results. The district wise review meetings being held since 6.30 am are also showing positive results. When the officers realise that the Chief Minister's eyes are on the works, then a lot starts to get better. The process of discussion with the districts will continue.
Chouhan was addressing the Research Associates of Chief Minister's Young Professionals for Development Programme (CMYPDP) at Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Good Governance and Policy Analysis (AGPA) on Sunday.
The Chief Minister said that the tests, studies and surveys of the implementation of schemes done by the CM Fellows in the districts would be used for good governance and development.
Chouhan said that everyone knows how Madhya Pradesh was till 2003. The scenario has changed today with good civic services along with infrastructural development. Earlier 912 daughters were born per 1000, which has increased to 956. Some districts have also been successful in bringing the number of births of sons and daughters up to equal level. There has also been a change in the mindset of the society. People's participation has increased and Madhya Pradesh has come in an advanced position in many areas.
Chouhan said that the campaign launched to make Anganwadis convenient is yielding good results. For Anganwadi centres in Indore and Bhopal, not only toys, but also computers, books, nutritional food and other materials have been given generously by the citizens. Jan Abhiyan Parishad has also encouraged voluntary organisations. When the Kanya Vivah Yojana and Ladli Laxmi scheme were started, the society also became cooperative. Today there are 43 lakh Ladli Laxmi daughters in the state. Daughters are getting help for higher education through Ladli Laxmi Yojana-02.
Chouhan said that on Saturday in Bhopal a sister was badly injured by anti-social elements by attacking with a blade. This morning, realising the plight of that sister, I met her and provided the necessary help. This sensitivity should also be reflected in the implementation of the schemes of the government. Chouhan said that people are also experiencing good implementation of welfare programmes as a result of continuous review.
The Chief Minister said that efforts are made for good governance by changing the nature of schemes, improving their process and studying the working style of the persons implementing the schemes. These measures of good governance directly benefit the people. With the Chief Minister's Young Professionals for Development Programme, work is being done to make good governance effective in the state. In the first phase, the Chief Minister Rural Street Vendors Scheme, nutrition campaign and works of public service centres have been studied by the youths.
On April 4 and 5, a workshop for the training of CM Fellows was organised by NITI Aayog in New Delhi. After this, on April 28-29, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Good Governance and Policy Analysis gave CM Fellows an opportunity to present their work in the PhD seminar at the Administration Academy, Bhopal.
Today the experiences of the youths have come to the fore in this dialogue programme. These experiences are also being prepared in the form of a report. These reports will become an important basis for district level review meetings and review of welfare programmes.
Youths narrated the experiences of travelling in the districts
In the seminar, eligible young professionals selected for the Chief Minister's Young Professionals for Development Programme narrated their experiences of development processes through district, block and village level partnerships. The youths received information about the impact assessment of various schemes on priority basis from the continuous consultation and feedback from the concerned government departments. In the first phase, experiences related to Public Service Centres, nutrition campaign and Chief Minister Street Vendors Scheme were presented. The youths surveyed 430 public service centres. The response of a total of 4199 beneficiaries was received. 430 service providers on the supply side were interviewed. In the nutrition campaign, survey of 1178 Anganwadis was conducted and interviews of 2319 pregnant women, 2236 lactating mothers and 1178 Anganwadi workers were conducted. Under Chief Minister Rural Street Vendors Scheme, 2600 street vendors were surveyed and 1443 potential beneficiaries were also contacted. Earlier, the Vice Chairman of AGPA, Prof. Sachin Chaturvedi welcomed the Chief Minister Shri Chouhan and informed about the responsibilities performed by the youths.
What is CM YPDP
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan believes that youths are the foundation of every society. They build today and tomorrow. Today many schemes are going on in the state for good governance, progress and public service delivery. CM YPDP has been launched to empower the schemes with the participation of youths keeping in mind the citizen centric administration. This programme aims to strengthen the public service delivery system by collecting, analyzing, evaluating the data of the identified schemes. Besides it aims to present important suggestions by identifying local challenges with the innovations made in the state and by interacting with the beneficiaries. Apart from this, the work of publishing important topics of development in the state is also being done. In this sequence, the monthly magazine Connect has also been published by the institute. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan released its maiden edition today.
