Bhopal : Madhya Pradesh’s happiness department is set to teach govt employees how to behave well with public and find their inner happiness while they’re at it. After CM Mohan Yadav’s directives, the govt employees that directly deal with the public—such as patwaris, gram sewaks, police personnel, and urban administration employees-are being given this training. 

The three-day training is being held for a batch of 50 people in each five divisions-Sagar, Jabalpur, Indore, Gwalior, and Bhopal. Employees are being taught how they should behave with the public, what inner happiness is, and how to deal with stress. Happiness officials said that after the training of govt employees dealing with the public, next on the card is training for govt squads in tribal-dominated districts.

After CM’s directives, efforts are being made in the direction to make govt employees more people-friendly. It will work in two ways--first, the govt staff would be taught how to deal with stress and behavioural issues, and second, it would make a common man feel better while interacting with a public servant, officials added. While reviewing works of the happiness department on Aug 23, Yadav proposed that every district should have a centre for ideological and creative activities. MP had hit national headlines back in July 2016 when it became the first state in the country to set up a happiness department
