SHIMLA —
In a major effort to bridge governance with grassroots organizational feedback, the Hon’ble Chief Minister (HCM) officially launched the ‘Chief Minister’s Dialogue with Workers’ (Mukhyamantri Ka Karyakartao Ke Sath Samvad) initiative.
The inaugural session commenced at the Chief Minister’s official residence, Oak Over in Shimla, focusing initially on delegations and workers from the Pachhad assembly constituency (Sirmaur district) and the Chopal assembly constituency (Shimla district).
Direct Feedback & Regional Development
The core goal of the interactive program is to gather real-time ground feedback on government policies, evaluate ongoing public welfare initiatives, and address local development bottlenecks directly through grassroots party representatives.
During the session, workers from Pachhad and Chopal voiced strong support for the state administration and engaged in detailed discussions regarding key infrastructure, healthcare, and education projects in their respective regions.
Key Governance Highlights Highlighted by the HCM
Speaking at the launch, the Chief Minister urged party workers to take the state’s progressive policies directly to every household, emphasizing significant achievements made over the past three and a half years:
-
Agricultural & Rural Support: Enhanced procurement prices for milk (₹61/liter for cow milk and ₹71/liter for buffalo milk), Minimum Support Price (MSP) for natural farming produce, and cleared payments for apple growers under the Market Intervention Scheme (MIS).
-
Educational Reforms: Implementation of the CBSE curriculum in over 150 government schools to ensure quality rural education, along with educational loans at a concessional 1% interest rate up to ₹20 lakh for eligible students.
-
Healthcare Infrastructure: Establishment of Model Health Institutions across constituencies and expansion of postgraduate medical seats statewide.
Unwavering Support from Grassroots
Representatives from both Pachhad and Chopal pledged their full support to the administration, appreciating the rare opportunity to present regional challenges directly to the leadership.
The Chief Minister assured both delegations that there will be no shortage of funds for completing pending infrastructure projects and promised balanced, equitable development across all constituencies in the state.
