What did the CM tell the officials?
The Chief Minister asked the officers to develop such a system so that all the eligible people of the state can get the benefit of the schemes run by the government. Along with further promotion of home stays in the state, he also told the need to provide training to those who run them from time to time and said that this will give a rapid boost to the economy of the people. The Chief Minister also urged the public representatives and officials to stay in the home stay during their visit.
During the review of the Health Department, the Chief Minister directed that efforts should be made to further reduce the maternal mortality rate in the state. For this, all the departments will have to work in coordination. Mission Khushiyon Ki Sawari being run by the government should be widely publicised.
The Chief Minister said that a target has been set to make Uttarakhand drug-free by the year 2025. What efforts have been made by all the departments for this will also be reviewed.
