•Mother is greatest inspiration in my life: CM
Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, on the final day of his four-day visit to Chamba district on Friday, interacted with students of Government Model Senior Secondary School and PM Shri Government Central Primary School, Mehla, in Mehla Gram Panchayat under the Bharmour Assembly constituency. He personally met each student and asked about their future aspirations and career goals.
During the interaction, Chanakya, a Class XII student, asked the Chief Minister what had inspired him to enter politics. In response, Sh. Sukhu said that he had a natural inclination towards leadership since his student days and had never been particularly interested in a government job. He said that his journey had taken him from being a class representative to becoming the Chief Minister of the state.

Responding to her request, the Chief Minister announced the release of Rs. 2 crore for the construction of additional rooms. He also stated that Mehla School would be upgraded to a CBSE-affiliated school from the next academic session. Land would also be allocated for the construction of a new school building.
The Chief Minister encouraged the students to remain dedicated to their goals and said that hard work, discipline, determination and strong willpower should be the guiding principles for achieving success in life.
During the interaction, 4th Class student asked the Chief Minister who had been the greatest source of inspiration in his life. Responding emotionally, he said that his mother had always been the greatest inspiration in his life.
The Chief Minister also answered various questions raised by students of both schools in detail and guided them on different aspects of life and education.
