BHOPAL: Chief minister Kamal Nath on Friday inaugurated a ‘model gaushala’ in Umarhar village of Chhindwara and said that his government is working not only for protection of cows but with the goal that ‘gaushalas’ become a means of generating income in rural areas.“Cowsheds are being constructed in all panchayat headquarters across the state. We fulfilled the promise made in the manifesto soon after formation of the government,” Nath said.Addressing a public meeting there, the CM attacked PM Narendra Modi and former CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan. “For 13 years, Shivraj Singh Chouhan made false promises and announcements. And PM Modi misled people in the name of nationalism. But people now know the truth. I believe in work, not in making announcements,” he said.Nath said he will never let down the people of Chhindwara, a Lok Sabha constituency he represented for nine terms in Parliament. “Chhindwara will never have to be ashamed because of me. Be proud, thump your chest and say you belong to Chhindwara,” he told the cheering crowd.The Umarhar cow shelter has been built by the state government at a cost of Rs 30 lakh. CM Nath reiterated his government is committed to protection of cows. Along with promoting organic farming with ‘gaumutra’ (cow urine) and cow dung, marketing of various cow products will also be promoted. Chhindwara district will get 31 such cow shelters, he said.“The government is working with a new attitude and approach for development, and Chhindwara model has been made the basis for that progress. An investment-friendly environment has been created for generation of employment, which has started yielding results. For this, process related to establishment of industry have been simplified. This has increased the confidence of investors in Madhya Pradesh,” he said.A day earlier, the Nath cabinet passed a bill for time-bound clearances of investment proposals, which is expected to boost industrialization and employment generation. When it becomes an Act, it will be the first such in the country, say sources in the government.On Friday. the chief minister said that efforts are on to improve the level of education to connect youth with employment and self-employment.Chhindwara MP Nakul Nath — Kamal Nath’s son — and ministers Sukhdeo Panse and Lakhan Ganghoria attended the function.
