Baldev Singh Billawaria gave a detailed presentation outlining the strategies to create awareness among the public about ‘One Nation, One Election’. Even as green signal to this initiative has been given by the NDA Government, Prime Minister Modi believes that by running this campaign in public relations in every area, different sections of the society should be made aware of the benefits of ‘One Nation One Election’, he added.
Highlighting the benefits of ‘One Nation, One Election’, Billawaria said that frequent elections are the biggest hurdle for the education sector and governance. He said that officials of government departments, especially Government schools teachers are called for election duty which affects the overall learning outcomes.
