Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that the ‘Meri Mati-Mera Desh’ campaign has assumed significance. This remarkable initiative will spread the sentiment of patriotism. It is expressive of reverence to Mother India. The campaign aims to connect all citizens. Peoples representatives, Panchayat representatives, municipal members, social organisations, volunteers, religious organisations, students, sports persons, employees, local artists, all should join the campaign. Cultural competitions on the theme of the campaign should also be organised. Chouhan said that the ‘Meri Mati-Mera Desh’ campaign is not merely a government program. It should bring together all individuals. The national flag should be hoisted in every household, and plantation activity should be conducted.
