Bhopal: The dates for the Panchayat elections are yet to be announced, but Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Shivraj Singh Chouhan is all set to launch a new campaign.

This campaign is barely a political one. Yet, its aim is to connect with the people. According to reports, he will push a hand-cart collecting toys for kids enrolled in Aganwadi centres. He made the announcement at a meeting with the officials. Chouhan said that he would soon move around with a hand-cart on the thoroughfares in Bhopal to collect toys for Aganwati centres.
It would be a campaign to invite people to promote Janbhagidari (public-private partnership) and to unite people, he said, adding that he would soon fix a date for the drive. Getting children free from the curse of malnutrition is not the responsibility of only Aganwadi workers, he said. The Chief Minister said, “We all have to find out the causes of malnutrition among them. There should be awareness in society about it.”

Chouhan said that he had already requested the farmers in his village to donate food grains to the Aganwadi centres and a large number of people did that. Aside from that, the Chief Minister took feedback on the status of adopting Aganwadi Centres in different districts across the state. Earlier, Chouhan appealed to people to adopt Aganwadi centres as part of their social responsibility.
