Will transform Madhya Pradesh to reach heights with the help of youth: MP CM Chouhan

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that with the help of the youth, Madhya Pradesh will be transformed and taken to greater heights. Swami Vivekananda has been my inspiration since childhood and will continue to be an inspiration. His inspiration has changed my life. A youth policy has to be made together with the youth. We will launch the new youth policy in February.

Chouhan was addressing the Young Achievers Town Hall Interaction program at the Chief Minister’s residence on the 160th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda (National Youth Day). He inaugurated the function by lighting the lamp. Young achievers from abroad also presented their views and suggestions.

Chouhan said that after meeting the youth, all my fatigue has vanished. Selfless Karma Yoga is wonderful. Reading the Gita changes life. He said that Swami Vivekananda had told the youth that they should be a storehouse of infinite power. There is no work in the world that you cannot do. As a man thinks, so he becomes. If you consider yourself weak then you will become weak. If you think strong, you will become strong. You have to move further. Set your goal. Do not rest until the goal is achieved, keep moving towards the goal. Chouhan said that success is achieved not by the lines on the hands but by the sweat of hard work.
