A modern Industrial Training Institute (ITI) would be opened at Baroti in Dharampur area of Mandi district from next session to provide job oriented education to the students of the area, Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur said on Friday. Addressing a public meeting at Baroti, Thakur said the state government was ensuring equitable development of every section of society and every area of state, adding that there was no dearth of funds for developmental works. He said that Dharampur area would also be developed from tourism point of view and also laid foundation stones and dedicated developmental projects worth Rs 270 crore in Dharampur area. The Chief Minister said that it was a matter of pride for people of the State that the biggest political party of the world, BJP was today being led by son of Himachal Pradesh,  Jagat Prakash Nadda.

He said that this was possible due to special affection and benevolence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi towards Himachal Pradesh.

Thakur said it was due to  strong leadership at Centre that the historic decision regarding CAA was taken, adding that Congress and other opposition leaders were trying to politicise  issue to mislead the people by spreading false canard. "The Act has nothing against minority communities living in India as they were already citizen of this great nation," he said.

 He said the opposition leaders were even questioning  Global Investors Meet organised by State Government and reminded Congress leaders that they also travelled throughout  country to attract investments, but failed miserably. 

He said that present Government has succeeded in signing MoUs worth about rupees one lakh crore and on completion of two years tenure of State Government ground breaking ceremony for  projects worth Rs  13,400 crore was performed.
