Government alone cannot bring changes but people have to be enterprising and hard-working in order to move forward.
While acknowledging difficulties faced by the government employees who are being posted in area, he urged them to be in the station and serve the people, reminding them that they are the most enlightened people of the area who can bring impact through their services.

Various department heads from the state, district and sub-division, who accompanied the advisor, also shared the department schemes and policy and urged the public to avail the opportunity for self- dependency.
The advisors also inspected the Aree old and new abandoned Primary Health Centre building.
Earlier in the day, Advisor Horticulture made a brief stoppage at Doyang reservoir before embarking on his maiden tour. Briefing his entourage who were mostly government officials from different departments, he urged them to come forward and extend cooperation on implementing government policies and programmes to take the constituency and district forward.
