Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that drug de-addiction campaign should be launched in Samras Panchayats. A special reward of Rs 2 lakh will be given to a drug-free village.
To make the village drug-free, an Environment should be created through mutual dialogue and various inspirational activities. We must ensure that our Panchayats are Beti Friendly. In all Panchayats including Samaras Panchayats, more respect, honor and dignity of daughters must be ensured. Sons and daughters must be treated equally.
The Chief Minister said that 630 Sarpanch, 157 Janpad Panchayat members and one District Panchayat member have been elected unopposed in the state. An incentive of Rs 5 lakh will be given if a Sarpanch is elected unopposed in any Panchayat, Rs 7 lakh for the post of Sarpanch if the current and previous election is unopposed, and Rs 7 lakh will be provided if all the Panches and Sarpanchs are elected unopposed. Similarly, an incentive of Rs 12 lakh will be given to the Panchayat if Women are elected to all the posts of Sarpanch unopposed and R 15 lakh will be given to the Panchayat if women are elected to all the posts of Panch and Sarpanch in the Panchayat.
