Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that nation’s upliftment is possible only through the upliftment of villages. It is necessary to make development a mass movement. We will work with the youth power to make Madhya Pradesh self-reliant. The youth have to take the responsibility of changing the lives of the people. If there is passion, nothing is impossible. The public should get the benefit of the leadership potential of the youth.
The youth who have completed the leadership training course will work to deliver the government’s schemes to the public. Youth associated with Madhya Pradesh Jan Abhiyan Parishad have done wonderful work in various fields. They are expected to play such a role in the future as well. Various facilities will also be provided to the youth associated with the Community Leadership Training Programme.
Chouhan today said at the Community Leadership Youth Samagam under the Chief Minister’s Community Leadership Capacity Development Programme (CMCLDP) at Bhopal’s Jamboree Ground that the Jan Abhiyan Parishad will be the nodal agency for the Community Leadership Training Programme.
This course will be considered at par with the students of other regular courses of the government. The students of this course will get the benefit of schemes of higher education and other departments. In order to ensure participation of the selected students of the Community Leadership Training Scheme in the schemes, arrangements will be made for community engagement/internship projects in the concerned departments. Students will be authorised to evaluate the schemes of the government. They will also be given honorarium for this work.
Chouhan said that the country is moving forward under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. A glorious and powerful India is coming up. India now talks eye to eye with the countries of the world, not by bowing down. There was a time even small countries challenged India. The situation has changed after the year 2014. Madhya Pradesh is also changing. Madhya Pradesh will change further with public co-operation. The support of the society especially the youth is must for development.
The Chief Minister said that after listening to the views of some youths in this gathering today, I can see a yearning and fire for development in them. Man is a part of God, son of Amrit. Nothing is impossible for him, just self-confidence is needed.
Defining youth, Chouhan said that not just the people in the age group of 15 to 35 considered youth, but youth are those who are fast, have fire and have dreams in their eyes. If they are determined, they show it by completing their work. In the year 2019, Chouhan termed the decision of the then government to discontinue the leadership training programme as being against the youth. The Chief Minister said that now no one will be able to stop this useful programme.
On the development of Madhya Pradesh, Chief Minister Chouhan said that the state’s growth rate is 19.7 percent, which is more than all other states. It is mentioned in the report of the Government of India.
Speaking at the event Margaret Gwada, Chief UNICEF Madhya Pradesh congratulated the Chief Minister for mobilising young people as change makers. She applauded young people who had been selected as interns and said congratulations for being selected. You are change makers and have to mobilize communities, and communicate that you learn so that you can influence your peers and community.
