The Tradition of Halma Will Be Spread Across MP : CM Shivraj

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan says that the Halma tradition of our Jhabua and Alirajpur districts is wonderful. This tradition of participation by tribal brothers and sisters can save the world from global warming today. The world should learn from this tradition. He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi also says that the government alone cannot save the world from global warming. If the government and society stand together in a tradition like Halma, then we can give the message of saving the world through Halma. Halma teaches us how to work hard and work should be made easy by combining the resources of the government with the feelings of the people.

‘Prime Minister Narendra Modi changed the picture of India’

CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has changed the picture of India. The central and state governments are dedicated to the welfare of the poor. ”I salute the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, who has left no stone unturned for tribal welfare. The previous governments had stopped schemes like Sambal and Teerth-Darshan and the arrangements for grants. Our government is starting the Ladli Bahna Yojana to empower our sisters financially and for the betterment of their families.” The Chief Minister resolved to encourage public participation by giving maximum cooperation in the implementation of government schemes to the present community.

‘Vital role of PESA rule in empowering tribal society’

In the program, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan taught tribal brothers and sisters like a teacher to make them aware of the provisions of PESA rules. He said that PESA rule will play an important role in empowering the tribal society. The cycle of religious conversion will not be allowed to continue in the tribal areas of the state. Attempts to snatch the land of the tribals by deceit will be strictly rejected. He said that Gram Sabhas have been given the right to collect Tendupatta under the PESA rule. This arrangement has been made so that the Tendupatta of the village is broken in the village itself and the right of collection and sale also remain in the village itself. The state government will also pay the wages for plucking tendu leaves and necessary cooperation and training will be given to the gram sabhas related to its marketing.

‘Peace and Disputes Redressal Committees also constituted’

The MP Chief Minister also said that a provision has been made within the PESA rule that the person taking the villagers out of the village for wages, will have to inform the Gram Sabha about where he is taking the villagers and for how many days. This arrangement has been made with the aim that the people going out of the village for wages, should not be exploited and they should also not face trouble. Now only the gram sabha will decide whether a new liquor shop is to be opened in the village or not. Now no one will be able to charge interest beyond a limit. Gram Sabha will keep an eye on those who charge more interest. Peace and Disputes Redressal Committees are being constituted to settle disputes in the village. Only elders of the village will settle disputes in committees, people will not have to visit police stations for petty matters.
