Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that the employees will be benefited by the 7th Pay Commission. The State Government fully understands the problems of the employees. A decision on their justified demands will be taken shortly. Justice will be done.
Chouhan was addressing a mahapanchayat of employees’ organisations at Mantralaya Park on Monday.
He administered a pledge to the employees to work with devotion and diligence to make Madhya Pradesh the best State of the world on the occasion.
Chouhan said that the State Government is working with new commitment and thought. After intensive deliberations, efforts are made to eliminate difficulties of all sections of the society. Several works related to development and welfare of the employees have been undertaken and will be carried out in future too.
Respect and work for all is the policy and tradition of the State Government. Referring to various contexts related to low payment to the teachers, Chouhan said that the Government is sensitive. Remarkable schemes like ladli laxmi Yojna are being implemented. Teachers are now getting around Rs 35,000 as salary, who used to be Rs 500 earlier. Justified demands of the employees are being fulfilled without demand.
Chouhan congratulating the employees said that it is the result of cooperation and hard work that the State has become leader in the country for highest growth rate which was negative in the past. Agriculture growth rate is above 20 per cent continuously since last four years which is remarkable in the world. Irrigation capacity has gone up to 40 lakh hectares from 7.5 lakh hectares. Road network has been laid. The State has become power surplus. Increase has been made in the salaries of the employees during his Government and per capita income is increased to Rs 60,000 from Rs 13,000.
Chouhan said that the decision to ban currency notes was utmost challenging. This kind of decision can only be taken by a strong person like Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The poor are happy with this decision. A game plan made by the enemy country to hurt Indian economy has been shattered. The back of the terrorism has been broken and it is a hard blow for the black money hoarders.
Emphasising on the need to conserve Narmada river, he said that plantation will be done at both the banks of the river. Farmers situated on the banks of Narmada will be encouraged to take to fruits plantation. They will be compensated at the rate of Rs 20,000 per hectare to bear the loss.
Chouhan informed that a scheme has been prepared by the State Government to pay the fee for the talented poor students who wish to pursue studies in reputed educational institutions. Minister for Revenue Umashankar Gupta and Minister of State for General Administration lalsingh Arya also expressed their views on the occasion.
