Development should not dent natural asset: CM Raut



JANAKPURDHAM: Chief Minister of Madhes Province, Lal Babu Raut, has said the ultimate goal of human development is happiness in one’s life.

Releasing the Human Development Report, 2022/22 in Janakpurdham, Chief Minister Raut viewed it was worrying to have growing stress in human life despite increasing development activities across the globe.

The report has showed that one out of eight persons is living with mental stress, he reminded, adding that development activities had dented natural atmosphere, which needs to stop.

The Chief Minister said, “Development should aim not only at material progress but also at social transformation and conservation of ecosystem.”

The government has taken the report finding as useful for making future policy. The programme was held under the chairmanship of Vice Chancellor of Madhes Academy of Health Sciences, Dr Ram Kewal Sah.
