Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that I used to ache when my sisters used to go barefoot in the forests to pluck tendu leaves and a thorn pricked their feet. If the Chief Minister is their brother, why should his sisters walk barefoot. Keeping this in mind, we have prepared the Mukhyamantri Charan Paduka Yojana. Under the scheme, slippers, saris and water bottles are given to 15 lakh tendu leaf collectors of the state. Now it has been decided that umbrellas will also be given to the tendu leaf collectors. For this, an amount of Rs 200 each is being sent to their accounts.
