Bhopal 09 April 2022: Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that a conference of voluntary organizations organized to share experiences and participation in sustainable development will usher in a new era of public participation. No stone will be left unturned in implementing the conclusions of the conference. The implementation of the findings will be done jointly by the state government and voluntary organizations. Voluntary organizations are also engaged in the work of development and public welfare according to the goals and objectives of the state government. Chief Minister Chouhan said that the country will be developed only with public cooperation. Public participation in the management of Covid-19 in the state is an example. The success that Indore city has achieved in the field of cleanliness has also been possible only through public participation.
