Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan take a pledge for de-addiction and continue with the campaign.
He administered a pledge for de-addiction to the people present.
He said drug addiction is the root of destruction.
No one has ever been benefitted by this. We have closed the liquor shops on the banks of Narmada, he said.
The government will not promote liquor. A drug de-addiction campaign will be run with public cooperation.
Let us all take a pledge to fight against drug addiction and take forward the campaign against drugs.
Chouhan also administered a pledge for de-addiction to the people present.
He called farmers to adopt natural farming.
Chouhan said the villagers must extend support to maintain cleanliness in the villages. The government can’t do this work alone. The farmers should not burn Narwai – crop remains after harvesting. Many living beings are destroyed along with Narwai besides it also adversely affects the productivity of soil, the chief minister said.
He also encouraged the farmers to adopt natural farming.
The chief minister said fertilizer farming would turn the land barren in 50 years. To avoid toxic farming, farmers should adopt natural farming. In natural farming, there is less consumption of water. It does not require fertilizers.
Farmers can start with natural farming on one or half acre land on an experimental basis. After this, the area under cultivation can be increased if found profitable, he said.
Chouhan said every citizen must plant trees once in a year for environmental protection. Let us all take a pledge today to start planting saplings on our birthdays or any other festival, he said.
Chouhan said anyone who ill treats women in Madhya Pradesh will be punished. They will also be crippled financially. We must take a pledge to save and educate daughters.
The chief minister was addressing a ceremony held in village Karondmafi in Dewas district today.
