Roadmap goals must be achieved within the time limit
Chief Minister Chouhan said that the state is facing economic crisis due to Corona, but our priority is that development activities and implementation of welfare schemes should not be affected due to economic conditions. Chief Minister Chouhan said that review meetings should be organized every Monday to ensure that the targets of the roadmap for Atmanirbhar Madhya Pradesh are achieved in a time-bound manner. In this, the ministers of the Group of Ministers should take the lead and the officers must ensure the implementation. Similarly, various Groups of Ministers presented their recommendations. Out of these, implementation of the recommendations regarding which decision has been taken in the meeting, should be started on priority. Wherever there is a need to take policy decisions in these works, the matter should be presented before the Council of Ministers. Issues in which coordination or inter-departmental coordination with the Government of India is required, it should be brought to the notice of the Chief Minister’s Secretariat or the Chief Secretary immediately.
Proper maintenance of roads, bridges and buildings must
Chief Minister Chouhan said that those buildings, roads, bridges and other assets which have been constructed by the government, should be properly maintained so that these properties can be used in public interest for long. The repair and maintenance of roads during the rainy season needs to be paid special attention.
There should be no complaints of corruption
Chief Minister Chouhan said that no eligible person should remain deprived of the benefits of the scheme in the beneficiary-oriented schemes, and it has to be ensured that the ineligible should not get the benefits in any way. It is true that in the Covid period, a few schemes could not be implemented due to budget constraints, but we have to ensure that there is no corruption. Inaction and inefficiency in the implementation of schemes will not be tolerated.
Unnecessary expenses must be curtailed
Chief Minister Chouhan said that the revenue of the government has reduced during the Covid period. This is a difficult period, hence all efforts should be made to increase the earning through revenue. Wherever there is leakage and negligence in the implementation of plans and programmes, it has to be rectified so that the resources can be properly utilized. On the other hand, we have to curtail unnecessary expenses and be as thrifty as possible. The greater the financial discipline, the more resources will grow. The work which we have got done by contractors and agencies, their payment should be done on priority. The payments of contractors should not remain unnecessarily pending. This is the root of corruption.
Increase employment opportunities
Chief Minister Chouhan said that efforts should be made to get maximum amount from the Government of India in various schemes. For this, constant contact and dialogue should be maintained with the central government at the ministerial and official level. Innovation efforts must continue in all departments. More and more employment opportunities must be generated in the state. Therefore, necessary activities should be conducted for creating a conducive environment for investment and promoting investment.
There should be total transparency in transfers
