Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that the attitude of "all is well - all is well" by the administrative officers will not work. Public opinion is important in the implementation of basic facilities and public welfare schemes. In-charge ministers, local ministers, MLAs and public representatives of the district should do a thorough review of the district every month. We have to work for the development and welfare of all in the form of Team Madhya Pradesh.

Chief Minister Chouhan said that from September 17, which is the birthday of Prime Minister Modi, a campaign is being started to benefit every eligible person in all beneficiary-oriented schemes. Its preparation should be started immediately. Officers should visit the ground areas and ensure the completion of the target within the time-limit by continuously reviewing the progress and quality of the works.

About 4,000 connections are being given per month under the scheme. Chouhan expressed satisfaction over the progress of the scheme.

During the review of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, Chief Minister Chouhan directed that it should be ensured to provide cheap sand to the beneficiaries.
