Bhopal : Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that on the basis of the capabilities of engineers, we are seeing the dream of a developed and self-reliant India in the year 2047 as per the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Public Works Department, as per its name, is realizing its resolve to serve the people of the state through Lok i.e. public and Nirman i.e. creation. Apart from being a politician, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is striving for India’s progress and capacity building with an ascetic spirit. The Public Works Department has the potential to take development works to new heights. During the time of Lord Shri Ram, Nala and Neel had discovered the technique of building a bridge on the sea. After the victory of Lanka, Lord Shri Ram, Mother Sita and Lakshman ji came to Ayodhya by Pushpak Viman. Lord Vishwakarma created the Pushpak Vimana, which had the ability to accommodate everyone. This was an expression of the spirit of taking everyone along in development and welfare. Even at present, construction work is going on with the aim of providing everyone’s convenience and opportunities to move ahead in life. The Public Works Department of Madhya Pradesh is speeding up the infrastructure development works by making good use of new technology and time.

The country’s engineers are building bridges on the sea, tunnels through the mountains and highways in Mumbai, which are world class in terms of technology and construction process.

Role of engineers is very important – Minister Singh

Under the leadership of Chief Minister Dr. Yadav, the Public Works Department has put the concept of “Public Welfare through Public Works” on a practical level and has directly linked infrastructure development with people’s lives. The roads built by the department connect farmers to markets, children to education, patients to health services and industries to investment opportunities. This is why the role of engineers becomes extremely important in the Public Works Department, which is one of the oldest and most important departments of the country.
In the next two years, the state’s Public Works Department will have the most skilled engineers of the country.
Public Works Minister Singh said that the nature of projects has changed with time.
