Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Thursday said that work on education, health, agriculture and livelihood activities is based on the path shown by Swami Atmanand and Dr. Khoobchand Baghel.
He was addressing an event marked to pay tribute to Swami Atmanand on his birthday at Patan in Durg district.
He said the government is walking on the path shown by personalities like Swami Atmanand, Dr. Khoobchand Baghel and others.
He inaugurated development works worth Rs 921 crore and performed Bhoomi Pujan in the Patan assembly constituency, which is represented by him.
Swami Atmanand devoted his life to making quality education available to all sections. To fulfil his dreams, the government had started 701 English medium schools in his name.
Now, Sanskrit and Chhattisgarhi will also be taught in these schools.
He said Chhattisgarhi rural and traditional sports are going extinct. He said that is why Chhattisgarh Olympics have been started.
He asked farmers to take oilseeds to Gauthans for crushing and oil extraction. The Gauthans have been made the rural livelihood centres. There is a provision of employment for the educated youth in these livelihood centres.
