Baghel said : The issues which are to be tackled at the level of Tehsildars and SPs are coming to me at the State level for redressal. This must stop and issues need to be resolved at the district level itself”.

The Chief Minister said that resolving people's problems is the utmost priority of the State government.

He said that the officials should not ignore problems of people and try to resolve them at the earliest.

The District Mineral Fund should be used for upgradation of quality of life, education and health of tribals.The fund can also be utilised for arranging quality teachers for schools and appointment of doctors, Baghel said.

The Chief Minister also directed collectors to open 'day care centers' for livestock in all gram panchayats and villages.

Use GIS and satellite imaging so that we have sufficient water in our rivers, he said.

The Chief Minister stressed on the need for setting up bio gas plants , compost plants and vermi compost plants in the villages.

The grazing lands in the villages need to be developed which would also help boost employment  and economic system of the villages, he said.

Emphasising on implementation of ambitious scheme ‘Narwa, Garuva, Ghurva, Baari’, Baghel pointed out, “Government welfare schemes can bring massive transformation in the lives of villagers.”
