Published on: 

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that it is necessary to ensure that people get drinking water every day. Whether water is supplied by tap, tanker, tube well or has to be transported, make whatever arrangements are necessary and ensure daily drinking water supply.

Chouhan gave these instructions during the virtual review of Rajgarh and Barwani districts from the residence office at 6:30 am. In-charge of Barwani district and Animal Husbandry, Social Justice and Disabled Welfare Minister Prem Singh Patel, and in-charge of Rajgarh district Higher Education Minister Mohan Yadav, Collector Rajgarh Harsh Dixit and Collector Barwani Shivraj Singh Verma and district officials joined meeting virtually.

The Chief Minister appreciated the activities conducted under "Mission Ummed" to encourage people to bring pregnant women to the health centres for institutional delivery in Barwani, "Pahunch Abhiyan" (Outreach Campaign) to complete all the necessary documents of villagers and Ankur Abhiyan for tree plantation. Chouhan said that "Mission Ummed" and "Pahunch Abhiyan" should be implemented effectively in other districts also.

Chouhan directed to conduct special activities on priority to improve the status of all the 6 indices in the aspirational districts. Chouhan said that along with increasing the basic facilities in Anganwadis and health centres, public awareness campaigns should be conducted with people's participation to remove malnutrition.

the Chief Minister said that there is a need to run a campaign by taking officers-employees, public representatives and people of the society along. We have to develop the feeling that improving the nutritional level of children is the responsibility of the society along with the government. Chouhan said that he himself would go out on May 24 in Bhopal for the purpose of collecting material for the children of Anganwadis. People's representatives in the districts should also come forward. This type of campaign will have a positive impact in the operation of Anganwadis.

During the review of ration distribution, Chief Minister Chouhan directed that the food grains of Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan and Mukhya Mantri Annapurna Yojana should be distributed to the beneficiaries simultaneously. The Chief Minister also directed for necessary amendments in the rules in this regard. Chief Minister Chouhan said that it will not be tolerated if someone else consumes the ration of the poor. If irregularities are found in the distribution of ration, the services of the concerned officer-employee should be terminated.

Chief Minister Chouhan said that arrangements should be made at the district level to provide construction materials at the right prices to the beneficiaries whose houses have been approved under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. By purchasing materials like cement-iron together, the material can be made available to the beneficiaries at comparatively low cost. The Chief Minister said that the list of people to whom houses have been allotted should be put up in the Panchayats. Along with this, information should be given to all the allottees about the approval regarding the allotment of houses through a letter on their behalf. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that a system should be established to bring on social media the reactions of the beneficiaries to whom the allocations have been made and the first installment released under the housing scheme.

Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that it is necessary to encourage Panchayat Secretaries and Rozgar Sahayaks (Employment Assistants) for better work. This feeling has to be developed in the field staff that they are doing virtuous works by helping the poor to get houses built. Our aim is that the houses built under the Pradhan Mantri Awas, Awas Plus etc. schemes should be of quality and the construction of the houses of the beneficiaries should be completed without any difficulty.

Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that the Amrit Sarovars, which are being built during the Amrit period of independence, should be developed ideally. Special attention should be paid to their beautification, tree plantation and development of water harvesting system. Flag hoisting programmes should be organised on the occasions like 15th August and 26th January near the Amrit Sarovars being built as a result of the wonderful imagination of Prime Minister Shri Modi. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan also directed to take the cooperation of public representatives in the development of Amrit Sarovars.

Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that it is necessary to establish a system of providing guidance and career counselling through a dialogue with Ladli Laxmis for their further studies. He directed to make necessary arrangements for better marketing, branding of orange in Rajgarh district and ginger in Barwani and to get the right price to the farmers under "One District-One Product". Chief Minister Shri Chouhan also directed to prepare an action plan according to the need and demand of the districts to encourage the activities of self-help groups. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan expressed the need to encourage natural farming.
