Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai participated in the ‘Rising Chhattisgarh’ conclave organized by News18 Madhya Pradesh-Chhattisgarh in Raipur. The event focused on discussions regarding the state’s development, good governance, and public welfare. Chief Minister Sai affirmed that his government is committed to accelerating inclusive development in Chhattisgarh.
He stated that the people of Chhattisgarh have given historic support to the government and work has started immediately after forming the government. In the first cabinet meeting itself, 18 lakh Prime Minister’s houses were approved, giving thousands of families the opportunity for home entry. Taking a historic decision in the agriculture sector, the government has started the purchase of paddy at the rate of ₹3100 per quintal, including the arrears of two years for the farmers.
Under the Mahtari Vandan Yojana for women, ₹1000 per month is being provided to 70 lakh women in the state. The Chief Minister also mentioned that from the distribution of Charan Paduka to the bonus to tendu leaf collectors, and providing opportunities for religious journeys to the poor through the Teerth Darshan Yojana, the government is working for the empowerment of the tribal communities.
The Chief Minister said that the government had promised to provide banking facilities in the panchayats. Under this, Atal Digital Centers have been established in 1460 gram panchayats and will soon be expanded to all the panchayats of the state. The work of Ready to Eat construction has been re-assigned to women self-help groups.
The Chief Minister highlighted the government’s commitment to the Naxal-free India campaign. The central government has set a deadline of March 31, 2026, to make the country Naxal-free, and the government is rapidly carrying out development works in the villages under the Niyad Nellar scheme. This transformation is being made possible by the commitment of the double-engine government.
The ‘Rising Chhattisgarh’ conclave featured many thought-provoking sessions focused on the possibilities, achievements, and future direction of Chhattisgarh. The conclave provided an effective platform for dialogue on governance, empowerment, and innovation, strongly presenting Chhattisgarh’s vision on the national stage.
