PNS

Himachal Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh on Sunday said political jumpers had no future and no place in the hearts of the public and public life.

The Chief Minister while addressing a public meeting on the occasion of concluding day of Chopal Utsav, said public was well aware that who had done developmental works in the area.

He said jumpers could not affect the Government but would certainly ruin their own future.

The Chief Minister laid foundation stones of building of Government college, shopping complex at Chopal in Shimla district and Rs 7 crore lift irrigation scheme to Kuthar Basadhar area.

He said education had always been the priority of the State Government and it was committed to provide quality education upto the remotest and far flung areas of the State.

The Chief Minister said that classes would start immediately to provide higher education to students at Chopal itself. He also announced that the Sanskrit College, Sarahan being run by private body would be taken over by the State Government for proper functioning of the college.

Virbhadra Singh said that two degree colleges and one Sanskrit college in Chopal would strengthen the education network in the district by taking education to the remotest corner of the district.

He said in democracy people should not go to public representatives rather public representatives should go to the door steps of public and resolve their problems. It was earnest duty of the representative to serve each and every person of the area that has elected him. Public representatives are often surrounded by sycophants and they should be able to differentiate between right and wrong, he added.

The Chief Minister also announced  Mini Secretariat, Kabaddi Sports Hostel and new building for the ITI, Chopal.
