Addressing the programne, Minister, Patel said that after completion of one year of the tenure of the State Government, I have come to Nagar Palika Narsinghpur for the first time. It is a matter of good fortune that the 100th birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee will be celebrated as Jayanti Mahotsav from 25 December 2024 for the next one year. Atal ji brought the wind of development in the villages of the country. Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana and Golden Chaturbhuj Yojana were started by him. The Central and State Government celebrate the birthday of respected Shri Atal ji as Good Governance Day.

 

The purpose of celebrating it is that the governance should be transparent, effective and accountable to the public. Minister, Patel expected all the officers and employees including the Chairman of the Municipality to work in the interest of the people in the direction of good governance, this would be a true tribute to respected Atal ji. The buildings that will be constructed in the new Gram Panchayats in the state have been named Atal Gramin Seva Sadan. Minister, Patel said that Prime Minister, Narendra Modi started the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. The objective of this scheme is that the needy people of the country, who do not have pucca houses, should have their own pucca houses. A list of Aawas Plus was prepared for the eligible persons left out in this scheme. 27 lakh families of Madhya Pradesh were included in it. In this series, the third and final survey is also being conducted, the objective of which is that no eligible person should be deprived of this scheme. He told the public representatives that we will have to start this work from the lower level. Public representatives, Panch-Sarpanch, Corporator know very well in their area that which eligible person has got the benefit or not.

 

If the public representative makes a firm intention, then no eligible person will ever be deprived of various welfare schemes of the government. If the problems of the people are heard at the local level, then the person will never wander here and there with the application. Minister Shri Patel said that this is a very old district historically, we have to preserve its heritage. The Singri river of the city should be free from encroachment, the city should be clean and beautiful. There should be better arrangement for parking of vehicles. To give a concrete shape to these dreams, everyone will have to work together, only then Narsinghpur will be able to make its identity as an ideal city. All the corporators, officers and employees should work by making a roadmap towards good governance. This is the biggest gift of democracy to the public. Minister, Patel said that the government has taken a resolution to make Narsinghpur district TB free under the 100-day Nishchay Abhiyan.

 

This is a social responsibility, not a government program. He said that there is no need to be afraid of TB. Everyone should get tested for TB. He urged everyone to play an active role in this campaign. Former Rajya Sabha MP Kailash Soni also expressed his views on the occasion. In the programme, the guests observed the stalls set-up by various departments in the Municipal campus. The welcome speech in the program was given by Municipal Council President, Neeraj Dubey.
