Keeping the stance on making Indore and all other cities of the State to be the safest place to live in, the chief minister, Kamal Nath in a recent gathering in the city, cited that protecting state’s interest is his priority and to ensure the same, he has given the target of making cities across state safe to administration, which will take appropriate decisions and actions in this regard.
In the lieu of the same, CM Nath and four ministers of his cabinet recently launched the ‘e-Sawari scheme’ of Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC). As a part of this, they handed keys of 100 electric auto-rickshaws to women drivers. In Madhya Pradesh, the authorities are trying to whittle the risk which women face by ensuring their safety and at the same time, special attention is being paid to strengthen women financially. On the occasion, the CM was seen addressing the media citing that they want women to become self-dependent and earn their livelihood.
If people question that the scheme for women will create unemployment for men and to address the problem, the CM said that the government wants to empower women in their state and will generate new employment for some of those whose employment gets affected by the same.
Furthermore, he also said that he had not made announcement to launch this scheme (e-Sawari) as he doesn’t believe in making announcements like previous government, who have now started criticizing just for politics, adding that he is not afraid of any criticism and don’t even want their (the opposition’s) certificate.
Urban administration minister Jaivardhan Singh also addressed this gathering in which he termed the ‘e-Sawari’ as the country’s first-of-its-kind scheme to empower women. He said in the future, they will start 500 e-rickshaws in different cities of Madhya Pradesh as apart from giving employment for women, it will also help in environment conservation.
State ministers Sajjan Singh Verma, Bala Bachchan, and Tulsiram Silawat were among the dignitaries, who participated in the event.
