Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that a policy which brings happiness and welfare to the people is a public policy. Moreover, public policy should be framed keeping in mind the welfare of the mankind. The Chief Minister was addressing the inaugural session of the three-day 4th dharma-dhamma convention on ‘Dharm Aur Raj Vyavastha’ organized by Sanchi Bodhha evam Bhartiya Gyan Adhdhyan Vishvavidhyalaya. Around 200 scholars of India and abroad are taking part in the convention.
Chouhan further mentioned that there is no better religion than welfare of others and to offend others is a big iniquity. Enormous blood has been spilt in the world in the name of the religion and reason on which blood is spilt is not a religion. There are many forms of religion, truth, non- violence, renunciation, besides affection, peace and affinity is religion. Whatever pleases others is religion. Happiness is momentary and complacency is permanent.
The State Government has formed Anand department to bring complacency in the lives of people. Swami Vivekanand has said that truth is one and there are different ways to reach truth. World is a one family was said in India 1000 years back. Arrangements have been made to implement decisions related to public welfare after deliberations with society. Efforts will be made to implement conclusion of the deliberations between different scholars participating in the convention.
