Chief Minister Chouhan said that “where there is a will, there is a way. The situation was grim during Corona pandemic. But government officials, employees, medical staff, police personnel, local bodies, public representatives, religious leaders, social workers and the youth worked in unison. People’s participation in the state worked wonders. Our experiment to control Corona through Crisis Management Group was successful. Chief Minister Chouhan said that “Yoga and meditation have the potential to develop the ability to tackle stress. Gita is a wonderful book. It gives the message of doing karma and not worrying about the result. By imbibing this knowledge and making continuous efforts, life remains positive.”

Referring to the lines of a song “Apne liye jiye to kya jiye, tu ji ae dil zamaane ke liye”, Chief Minister Chouhan said that – “We should be able to feel and experience others’ pain and agony and be able to help others in distress.” If we can, bring a smile on someone’s face, only then can our life become meaningful.”
While being conscious of the social concerns, we should not miss any opportunity of social service.
