Chief Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that a unique work of corona control has been done in the state with public cooperation. But the crisis is not over yet. We all will not allow the transition to grow in the state by behaving in a Covid appropriate manner and will also start economic activities.
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that village, block, ward and district level crisis management groups have made commendable contribution in the corona control in the state. This model of public cooperation of Madhya Pradesh is being discussed all over the country. Further, the battle against corona will continue as a mass movement.

Under this scheme, children up to the age of 24 years who have lost parents due to Corona will be provided ration and free education every month apart from monthly pension of Rs. 5 thousand.

There should be such efforts so that the third wave may not hit
