Administrative correspondent, Bhopal,
The leaders waiting for political appointment in corporations and boards in the state may have to wait longer. Now, instead of the top officer of the department, the departmental minister will be the president in the corporations and boards of the state. This system is being implemented in all the corporations and boards from Tuesday itself.
Consensus has been reached in this regard in the informal cabinet on Tuesday. Actually, after the tenure of the chairman and vice-chairman ended in the corporations and boards, the state government had handed over the responsibility of the president to the Principal Secretary and Additional Chief Secretary of the department, which is now being changed. That is, the minister of the department of which corporations and boards will be there, will be the president.

Govt trying to revive bidi industry
The government has started efforts to revive the bidi industry in the state once again. Actually, Madhya Pradesh has the best quality tendu leaves, which are usually sent to West Bengal. A large number of Bangladeshi infiltrators work in the bidi industry here. Now instead of sending them to Bengal, the government is in the mood to develop the campaign of making bidis from tendu leaves in the state itself as a cottage industry, so that employment opportunities increase at the local level.
