Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that CM Young Professionals for Development Program is an important initiative taken in the democratic system.

Work will be done to bring good governance on the ground with the help of youth in Madhya Pradesh. Continuous work is being done in this direction for the last one year, he said.

Chouhan was addressing the Good Governance Meet programme at Rabindra Bhavan this evening.

During this, the Chief Minister mentioned in detail the efforts of good governance in Madhya Pradesh and replied to the queries of the youth.

Chouhan said that democracy is the rule of the people, by the people and for the people. Our system is huge. Making schemes is easy, but the task of making the schemes accessible to the eligible people is difficult. Due to negligence by some people and because of the tendency of exploitation, many schemes do not reach the grassroots. Apart from government machinery, the implementation of schemes can be made easier by using youth energy.

Chouhan said that he has decided to seek the help of the youth, in acquiring information about the schemes. The youth are becoming the eyes and ears of the governance of this system. Morning meetings of the districts have been held based on the information given by the youth. Good governance is that the benefits of schemes reach the right person without difficulty or delay.

Chouhan said that many schemes have been made for the youth as well. Several schemes were introduced to deal with the suffering of the people in practical life. Ladli Laxmi Yojana is a biggest example of this. Chief Minister Chouhan explained in detail about the inspiration for starting the Ladli Laxmi Yojana, its implementation and new form. Chief Minister Chouhan also mentioned the Yuva Udyami Yojana and other schemes.

New youth policy will come next month

Various sports activities used to take place on the banks of Narmada. He was the first to fight for the increase in the honorarium of rural workers. After this, the welfare of the public was kept at the center in continuous public life.

Chief Minister Chouhan said that the PESA Act has been implemented in Madhya Pradesh. The Mukhya Mantri Jan Seva Abhiyan started on September 17 on the birthday of the Prime Minister, which continued till October 31.
