Five-year blueprint to be chalked out for Madhya Pradesh’s development
Bhopal, December 26 (Pervez Bari): Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has instructed to chalk out by March 2009 a five-year blueprint and action plan for mobilising additional resources.
Chouhan was addressing the first meeting of the working groups constituted for effective implementation of seven priorities of the state government at Mantralaya, the state’s secretariat, here on Friday. Chief Secretary Rakesh Sahni and senior administrative officers manning the working groups were present on the occasion, an official Press release said.
Chouhan said that the working groups should include private experts as well as learned people for increasing their efficiency and dexterity. He said that if need be help of state-level, national and even international experts can be sought.
It was also decided at the meeting that an empowered committee will be constituted under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Chouhan for final decision on all the agriculture-related issues.
Chouhan said that the seven priorities of the state government viz. infrastructure development, making agriculture profitable, women’s empowerment, development and educational and health facilities, tight law and order, generation of employment opportunities by inviting investments for setting up industries and good governance for the poor are directed at making Madhya Pradesh a pioneer state in the country.
He exhorted the working groups to give priority to generation of employment opportunities. They should also include mobilisation of additional funds in their action plan. He suggested that for this purpose, Public-Private Participation can turn out to be good means. He urged the working groups not to ignore environmental balance.
Chouhan asked the working groups to prepare their reports as early as possible. He said that he will take joint and separate meetings of the working groups after submission of their reports.
All these working groups will continue to submit their reports from time to time. The budgetary priorities will be set on the basis of reports received by March next year. This process will continue and if need be, changes will be made in policies, provisions and processes, the release stated. (pervezbari@eth.net)
