Extend support to government in fight against poverty
Chief Minister Chouhan has called upon small and marginal traders to join the Government in the fight against poverty. Make life better with the efforts of the government to defeat poverty and make them successful. The purpose of the government is everyone’s development. This will happen only when the light of development reaches the huts of the poor. Along with increasing the income of the poor, the government is providing them cheap grains, free treatment, education, electricity on flat rate, waiving of outstanding bills, pucca houses, assistance to women during pregnancy and post delivery besides financial assistance on sudden death and for last rites. Work is being done to make the cities better. For the supply of pure drinking water, tap water schemes are being constructed in all the 378 urban bodies under the Chief Minister's Drinking Water Scheme. Illegal colonies are being legalized. Smart cities are being created. Sewage systems are also being made in 60 percent of the cities.
Poor will no longer be under compulsion
Chouhan said that justice has not done with the poor in history. But now the poor will not live under compulsion. The previous governments sent money to big houses. But our government has turned this amount towards the poor. Many slogans for eradication of poverty were made but the work of actually removing poverty is being done by his government. The government has prepared a way to eliminate poverty by fulfilling all the needs of the poor because natural resources are for everyone but only a few people are using it. Hence, those are last in the line are being provided a major portion of the resources of the government. With this in mind, the Mukhya Mantri Jan Kalyan Yojana has been launched. For registration, only one application has to be given in writing that the applicant is a small and petty trader. There will be no verification for the registration. Whatever the public says will be considered right.
For every need, poor will get the support of “Sambal”
The Chief Minister said that the person registered in the scheme will be given land if he does not own a piece of land. If land is not available, flat will be given in a multi-storey building. In the next four years, pucca houses will be made available to all.
The government will bear the education fees for children. Electricity bill will be made available at flat rate of Rs 200 per month. The outstanding balance of the bill will be waived. Women will be given Rs 4 thousand during pregnancy and Rs 12 thousand post delivery for nutritious meals. Free treatment will be given. Rs 2 lakh will be given on unnatural death, Rs 4 lakh in case of death by accident to a person under the age of 60. Registration work is in progress. Chouhan said that to extend support to the government in the fight against poverty, it is essential not to spend hard-earned money in alcohol etc. Children should be educated under all conditions. Women must be respected. He said that the state was the first to have enacted the law of death penalty to the rapists.
