The Chief Minister also told the officials to find avenues in the field of farming, animal husbandry and horticulture by making proper plans after conducting survey of their regions.

They should not get late to office and see to it that the implementation of the schemes are done properly,” said the CM. Image of the State will change only by simplifying the system and bringing changes in the mentality, he added.
