While speaking on the closing ceremony of the International Minjar Fair sports prize distribution function at historic Chamba Chougan today, Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh said that the government would make earnest efforts to ‘Patent’ the Chamba Chappal so as to avoid its duplicity in the market. This would also economically benefit those involved in the profession and who had kept alive the very existence of the craft of Chamba Chappal. Besides, the Chamba Rumal, which has made its international presence felt would also be promoted.
The Chief Minister also stressed upon preservation of traditional culture and customs. He said that Minjar festival has its own historical significance and similar were the other fairs and festivals of the State. We as Himachali's, should be proud of our culture, customs and traditions, he said adding that only those civilizations survive which respect, follow and preserve their traditions besides believing in and having faith in our deities.
Being modern in true sense was to develop oneself individually sticking along with our culture and customs. He said that we should celebrate all our fairs and festivals, may be at State, district or at subdivision level, with zeal and fervour.
As Chamba has a rich cultural legacy, the government would honour the weavers and craftsmen of Chamba or those who have preserved and carried along the age-old rich art and craft of Chamba, in a State level function at Shimla in near future.
Speaking on the bus stand issue, he said that Bus stand along with the workshop would be completed within the next two months near Chamba old Prisons and issued directions to complete the work within stipulated time.
He said that a cement factory was being set up in Chamba for quite some time and the work was still in limbo. The company working on it earlier failed to accomplish the job and was blacklisted and now tenders were being floated again so that the work on cement plant can be started at the earliest.
The Chief Minister said that Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru Government Medical College would soon be opened in Chamba and similarly the Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar Medical College which was coming up at Sirmaur and another at Hamirpur.

The Chief Minister said that enough educational institutions had been opened in the state and now the schools would be opened as per dire need felt, if any, in mostly far flung and remote areas of the State. Today there were around 115 colleges in the State, mostly in rural areas which had benefited girl child the most.
He said that he had always been against the grading system in schools and had taken up the matter with Union Government for changing the same and instead to be replaced by examination system. This will help analysing the performance of the students as well and help them in this competitive world. Apart from this the teachers also had to ensure that they work committedly. He said that anyone can send a letter to him on his address if they have any complaints against teachers who were not serious in their profession, adding that their name would be kept anonymous.
