Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Sunday said Mahatma Gandhi respected ‘Karm’ and ‘Shram’. He showed the path of becoming self-reliant by creating self-employment with hard work and dedication.

Baghel was addressing a programme on ‘Gandhi, Youth and Challenges of New India’ organized by the Culture and Archaeology Department at Shaheed Smarak Bhavan here.

He paid tributes to Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri, both of whom were born on October 2.

The Chief Minister said Gandhiji showed the path of self-reliance, love, truth, non-violence. He worked among farmers, and among weavers by spinning the charkha. He taught millions to honour work and labour laying emphasis on social and economic freedom.

Baghel said the country's young energy needs to be channelized. There is a need to make collective and organized efforts to provide them opportunities. Confidence comes from hard work, which can win even the toughest of the        battles.

Gandhiji sacrificed his clothing to become the embodiment of minimalism. This inspired people to  minimize their needs and live a simple life.

The Chief Minister announced an ‘Anupam Mishra Award’ for            individuals and                organisations working in the field of water recharging. He announced that an award will be instituted in the memory of renowned            litterateur Habeeb Tanveer as well.

He released a book titled ‘Sonakhan 1857’ by Ashish Singh and another book, ‘Johar Gandhi’, by Amir Hashmi. Baghel threw light on the different initiatives taken by the state                     government towards             promoting self-reliance and self-employment.
