Democracy is not just a system of governance, but a way of life: The struggle of democracy fighters is a source of inspiration for all of us - Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai

Democracy fighters honored on Emergency Memorial Day

Raipur : Democracy is not just a system of governance, but a way of life. The freedom that we are experiencing today in the atmosphere of democracy, its price was paid by some people during the Emergency by torture, humiliation and spending time in jails. It is our duty to convey the pain and struggle of these democracy fighters to every generation. Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai said this while addressing the Emergency Memorial Day program organized at his residential office today.

Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai called for being cautious of anti-democracy forces and to keep working continuously to strengthen democracy. He said that the democracy fighters who fought to protect democracy were tied in chains and tortured physically and mentally. All this happened in independent India, but that inhumanity reminded of the cruelty of the British rule. The democracy fighters who suffered unbearable hardships during the Emergency are still a source of inspiration for us.

Chief Minister Shri Sai felicitated the democracy fighters on this occasion. In the program, he also released the book 'Wo 21 Mahonese: Emergency' written by Shri Sachchidanand Upasne.

Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai said that 25 June 1975 is considered the darkest day in the democratic history of India. During the Emergency, thousands of people were thrown into jails without any crime, fundamental rights were snatched away and democracy was strangled. Chief Minister Shri Sai said that he has seen this tragedy very closely. His late elder father Shri Narhari Prasad Sai was also imprisoned for 19 months during that period.

The stories narrated by him still send chills down the spine. He told how the democracy fighters were chained and subjected to physical and mental torture. All this happened in independent India, but that inhumanity reminded us of the cruelty of the British rule. He said that even the freedom of artists was snatched away during the Emergency. When playback singer Kishore Kumar refused to sing government propaganda songs, his songs were banned on All India Radio.

Chief Minister Shri Sai said that the Chhattisgarh government had started giving honorarium to the democracy fighters, which was stopped by the previous government. Our government not only restarted this Samman Rashi but also paid the arrears of the last five years which were stopped by the previous government.

The Chief Minister said that now the last rites of the Loktantra Senani will be performed with state honours and their families will be given a financial assistance of ₹25,000. Apart from this, by passing an Act in the Assembly, it has been ensured that no government can end this Samman Yojana in future.

In his address, Vidhan Sabha Speaker Dr. Raman Singh elaborated on the horrors of the Emergency and the sacrifices of the fighters for democracy. He said that it is the responsibility of today's generation to convey to every citizen of the country the torture of the 21 months of Emergency and the blow to democracy. Dr. Singh said that it is our good fortune that today the participants of the MISA movement and their families are among us. Terming the Emergency as unconstitutional, he said that at that time the entire country was turned into a huge prison. The pillars of democracy—the judiciary, the executive, the legislature and the media—were rendered inactive.

Censorship was imposed on the press and those who spoke the truth were put in jails. He said that the country was going through a deep economic and social crisis at that time—inflation, unemployment and corruption were at their peak. There was resentment brewing among the people and the Emergency was imposed to suppress it. He said that if democracy is alive and strong today, then the credit for this goes to those fighters who protected the constitution and the soul of the country despite facing immense hardships.

On this occasion, Shri Pawan Sai and National Vice President of Loktantra Senani Sangh Shri Sachchidanand Upasne also addressed the program. Industry Minister Shri Lakhanlal Devangan, MLA Shri Motilal Sahu, CGMSC Chairman Shri Deepak Mhaske, Civil Supplies Corporation Chairman Shri Sanjay Srivastava, Minority Commission Chairman Shri Amarjeet Chhabra, Raipur Development Authority Chairman Shri Nand Kumar Sahu, State President of Loktantra Senani Sangh Shri Diwakar Tiwari, along with a large number of Loktantra Senanis and their family members were present in the program.

20-Jun-2025 96

TNINS

Raipur : In a Cabinet Meeting chaired by Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai at his Civil Lines residence office today, following significant decisions were taken:

1. Cabinet approved a major decision to extend certain educational benefits to communities that have been technically excluded from the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes lists. Accordingly, students belonging to the Dihari Korwa, Baghel Kshatriya, Sansari Oraon, and Pabia/Pavia/Paviya communities will be eligible to receive state-funded scholarships and stipends equivalent to those granted to Scheduled Tribes. Similarly, students of the Domra caste will be granted benefits equivalent to those for Scheduled Castes. These communities will also be allowed hostel and ashram admissions within approved seat limits.

2. With the objective to promote renewable energy and provide economic benefits to electricity consumers, the Cabinet has approved state financial aid for the installation of rooftop solar plants under PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana.

Through the Chhattisgarh State Power Distribution Company Limited (CSPDCL), beneficiaries will receive both central and state financial support depending on plant capacity (1kW, 2kW, 3kW and above). For example:

For a 1kW system: Total aid of Rs 45,000 (Rs 30,000 from Centre + Rs 15,000 from State)
For a 3kW or higher system: Total aid of Rs 1,08,000 (Rs 78,000 from Centre + Rs 30,000 from State)

Similar benefits are proposed for Housing Societies and Residential Welfare Associations. The subsidy amount will be provided to CSPDCL in advance for disbursal to beneficiaries.

Targets have been set for installation of 60,000 solar plants in 2025–26 and 70,000 in 2026–27, with respective budgetary implications of Rs 180 crore and Rs 210 crore. CSPDCL will be the implementing agency, and a dedicated bank account will be opened for transparent management of subsidies. Priority for state aid will be given to those whose grid synchronization occurred on or after 1 April 2025.

3. In a landmark move for wildlife conservation and eco-tourism, the Cabinet has approved formation of Chhattisgarh Tiger Foundation Society under the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972.

This self-financed society—on the lines of a similar body functioning in Madhya Pradesh since 1996—will work towards protecting the rapidly declining tiger population in Chhattisgarh (currently estimated at 18–20). It will raise funds through voluntary contributions and will not place any additional burden on the state exchequer.

The society will undertake direct conservation efforts, promote eco-tourism through local community involvement, and encourage environmental education, research, and training—creating opportunities for employment while preserving biodiversity.

4. Cabinet has approved the merger of Vivekananda Institute of Social Health, Welfare and Services, Chhattisgarh (VISHWAS)—an allied organisation of the grant-in-aid educational institution Ramkrishna Mission Ashram Narayanpur—into the parent Ashram.

5. In a move to promote horticultural education, the Cabinet has approved the transfer of 100 acres of government land (out of a total 94.290 hectares) in Belgaon, under Saja Tehsil of Bemetara district, free of cost to the Horticulture Department for the establishment of a Horticulture College under the Horticulture University.

6. Cabinet has approved the proposal to transfer ownership of the ‘JashPure’ brand—under which women's self-help groups in Jashpur district produce traditional items such as herbal and mahua tea—to the state government or the Chhattisgarh State Industrial Development Corporation (CSIDC) to expand market reach and boost marketing efforts.

The move is expected to promote agro and food processing units, increase demand for local raw materials, and generate more employment opportunities for tribal women. The trademark transfer will not impose any additional financial burden on the state.

7. Acknowledging the supreme sacrifice of martyred police personnel, the Cabinet has amended Clause 13(3) of the Unified Revised Guidelines–2013 for compassionate appointments.

Now, in cases where a police officer is martyred in Naxalite violence, any eligible family member (male or female) may opt for a compassionate appointment in any department across any district or division of the state. Previously, such appointments were generally restricted to the same department or office where the deceased was employed.

8. To ensure systematic exploration and infrastructure development of minor minerals in the state, the Cabinet has approved the draft notification for the establishment of State Mineral Exploration Trust (SMET).

Modeled after the National Mineral Exploration Trust of the Government of India, SMET will receive an additional 2% of the royalty revenue from all minor minerals. The fund will be utilized for high-tech exploration, infrastructure development, information systems, logistical support, and human resource development in the mining sector.

Police personnel, Anganwadi workers and girl students were honored on the 15th foundation day of the commission

Raipur : Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai launched the Sarthak and Rakshak Abhiyan to create awareness about child rights on the occasion of the 15th foundation day celebration of Chhattisgarh State Child Rights Protection Commission. Addressing the program organized at Pandit Deendayal Auditorium in the capital Raipur on this occasion, he said that the State Child Rights Protection Commission has an important role in raising awareness about child rights in the remote areas of the state.

It is the responsibility of the Commission to identify such children and link them to employment and provide them benefits from government schemes. He said that our government is running many schemes focused on children and youth. Our government is providing school, college, coaching facilities in every village. Along with this, maximum facilities are being provided to the students through works like Prayas in the field of education, Nalanda campus and Tribal Youth Hostel in Delhi.

Special Article : Chhattisgarh Set to Emerge as a New Hub for Investment in Defence, Aerospace, and Space Technology

18-Jun-2025 537

Naseem Ahmad Khan, Public Relations

Raipur : Shedding its image as only a mineral- and agriculture-driven state, Chhattisgarh is swiftly evolving into a dynamic centre for technological innovation and strategic industries. This transformation is being led under the visionary leadership of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai, who has not only modernised the state’s industrial policies to be employment-oriented but has also undertaken historic measures to attract investment in strategic sectors such as defence, aerospace, and space technology.

In a recent cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Shri Sai, the state government announced a separate industrial incentive package for these advanced technology sectors. This package is poised to attract significant investments while simultaneously opening up new avenues of employment and service opportunities for the youth of Chhattisgarh.

Formulated under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024–30, this special package represents a decisive step towards promoting the establishment and expansion of cutting-edge industries. Enterprises in the fields of defence, aerospace, and space technology will be offered 100 percent reimbursement of SGST based on fixed capital investment, or alternatively, a capital subsidy. For units investing between Rs 50 crore and more than Rs 500 crore, subsidies of up to 35 percent will be provided, capped at a maximum of Rs 300 crore. In addition, investors will benefit from interest subsidies, concessions on electricity charges, waivers on stamp duty and registration fees, rebates on land use conversion charges, employment-based incentives, EPF reimbursement, and training grants.

A key highlight of the policy is its prioritisation of sustainable employment for local youth. Industries that provide first-time employment to Chhattisgarh residents will be granted a wage subsidy of up to 20 percent. This reflects the state government’s philosophy that development must transcend statistical achievements and lead to genuine improvements in the quality of life of its citizens.

Further incentives include grants of up to 20 percent of expenditure on setting up research and development facilities in the defence and aerospace sectors, capital investment support for establishing Centres of Excellence, and special assistance for drone training centres. These initiatives aim to make the state technologically self-reliant and a frontrunner in innovation. Units investing over Rs 1,000 crore or employing more than 1,000 people will receive additional industrial incentives, creating a compelling proposition for national and global companies to invest in Chhattisgarh.

Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai envisions the development of a comprehensive ecosystem in the state—integrating industrial investment with employment, technical education, research, and innovation. His goal is to empower Chhattisgarh’s youth not only to seek jobs but to become job creators themselves. This forward-looking industrial policy aligns with national initiatives like Make in India and Aatmanirbhar Bharat, positioning the state on a new trajectory of identity and growth.

Chhattisgarh is now advancing beyond traditional industries, emerging as a promising destination for high-tech investments in the defence and aerospace sectors. This shift is set to accelerate the state’s economic prosperity while enabling its youth to aspire towards greater heights of achievement.

A bold leap in Chhattisgarh's education

16-Jun-2025 229

TNINS

No school is now teacherless

80 percent decline in single teacher schools

Integration of 10,372 schools, comprehensive rationalization of teachers

Students will get better educational facilities

Raipur : Taking an important step towards increasing the quality and access to education in the state, the Chhattisgarh government has taken a comprehensive and meaningful initiative to rationalize its schools and teachers. This far-reaching reform under the guidance of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai, in accordance with the provisions of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the Right to Education Act 2009, is actually an effective effort to streamline the education system of the state and resolve long-standing educational anomalies.

Before rationalization, education was being affected due to lack of teachers in the schools of rural areas of Chhattisgarh state, posting of more teachers than required in urban areas and nearby schools and this was also affecting the examination results of the children.

About 212 primary schools and 48 upper primary schools in the state were completely teacherless, while 6,872 primary schools and 255 upper primary schools were functioning with only one teacher. In addition, there were 211 schools where the student strength was zero but teachers were posted. In addition, 166 schools were accommodated, including 133 schools in rural areas with enrolled strength less than 10 and distance less than 1 km, and 33 schools in urban areas with enrolled strength less than 30 and distance less than 500 metres.

Despite these challenges, Chhattisgarh's student-teacher ratio (PTR) was significantly better than the national average, with PTR for primary schools being 20 against the national average of 29 and PTR for upper primary schools being 18 against the national average of 38. However, the distribution was uneven. There were about 17,000 primary schools and about 4,479 pre-secondary schools in the state with PTR-less than 20. In urban areas alone, there were 527 schools with PTR-less than 10, including 08 primary schools with 15 or more teachers, 61 schools with 10-15 teachers and 749 primary schools with 6-9 teachers, these figures indicate the need for better resource allocation.

The main point of this initiative was the integration of about 10 thousand 372 schools operating in the same premises, which included primary, pre-secondary, high school and higher secondary schools. This merger is expected to bring many benefits, including reduction in the number of school dropouts and elimination of the need for students to get transfer certificates repeatedly. This will help in providing quality education, students of lower classes getting support from students of higher classes, and increasing academic understanding and interest through computers, science laboratories, sports and cultural activities, as well as personality development. The administrative system will also be strengthened from this point of view.

Along with the adjustment of schools, an important teacher rationalization process was also carried out through counseling at the district, division and state level. Under this process, about 13 thousand 793 teachers were rationalized at the district level. 863 teachers were rationalized at the division level and 105 teachers were rationalized at the state level.

The initial results of the rationalization campaign are highly promising. Most importantly, the education department says that no school is being closed and no teacher post is being abolished. Instead, the focus is on ensuring the operation of schools with better infrastructure.

After rationalization, the number of schools without teachers in the state has become zero. The number of single teacher schools has reduced by an impressive 80 percent, with about 1,200 schools now single teacher. The integration of 10,372 schools located on the same campus and the merger of 166 rural and urban schools have been completed. This will free about 89 percent of the students from repeated admission processes. Students will have access to additional teachers and there will be more uniformity in school timetables and other activities. This initiative also aims to improve student understanding through remedial teaching.

By implementing the National Education Policy, Chhattisgarh is not only addressing the current shortcomings but also laying a strong foundation for a future where every child will have access to quality education, promoting holistic development and academic excellence. This rationalization step is a testimony to the state's commitment to creating a more efficient, equitable and effective educational environment.

Santu Chakras, an elderly man who lived in difficult conditions in a kutcha house for years, is very happy today because he has got his first permanent house. The special thing was that he received the keys of this house from the hands of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai, when he was recently on a visit to Jashpur.

An emotional Santu Chakras thanked the Chief Minister and said that "At this stage of life, when one wants to live free from worries, this permanent house is God's blessing for me. Now I and my family are neither afraid of rain nor of poisonous creatures. Now we also have a safe and strong home."

Santu Chakres said that he was sanctioned a concrete house under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, which is now fully built. This is not just a house, but a symbol of self-respect, security and stability for him.

On this occasion, the Chief Minister virtually inaugurated the new branch of Apex Bank at Farasbahar in Jashpur district and congratulated the people of the area.

Chief Minister Shri Sai said that the concept of prosperity through cooperation is being realized under the leadership of our country's Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and Cooperative Minister Shri Amit Shah. With their inspiration, our government is working to connect every household of the state with cooperation. Shri Sai said that under the leadership of the newly appointed authorized officer, cooperation will get further strengthened in the state. He said that with the aim of promoting cooperative activities, milk production is being promoted in the state in collaboration with the National Dairy Development Board. Recently, we have started the distribution of milch animals, under which two milch cows are being distributed to the beneficiaries by selecting 6 districts of the state for the pilot project.

Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai said that we have started a major initiative to provide banking facilities to the farmers and rural people of the state from Panchayati Raj Day this year. Atal Digital Suvidha Kendras have been opened in 1460 Gram Panchayats of the state, through which banking facilities are being provided in the Gram Panchayat building itself. He informed that by the next Panchayati Raj Day, this facility will be available in all the Gram Panchayats of the state, which will provide great relief to the farmers.

Chief Minister Shri Sai also mentioned the major changes in the field of cooperation during the Chief Ministership of Assembly Speaker Dr. Raman Singh. He said that former Chief Minister Shri Singh freed the farmers from the heavy interest rate for short-term loans and provided relief to the farmers by continuously reducing the interest rates. Now farmers are getting short-term loans without any interest for agricultural work. Chief Minister Shri Sai congratulated the people of the area on the opening of a new branch of Apex Bank in Farasbahar and said that now farmers will not have to go to Pathalgaon, 50-60 kilometers away, for banking facilities. He congratulated the Cooperative Department for this noble initiative.

Assembly Speaker Dr. Raman Singh started his address by remembering the great personalities who sowed the seeds of cooperatives in Chhattisgarh. He said that in Chhattisgarh, pioneers like Shri Vamanrao Lakhe and Thakur Pyarelal laid the foundation of cooperatives, whose developed form we are all seeing today. This year is the International Year of Cooperatives, and with the efforts of Union Cooperative Minister Shri Amit Shah, miraculous changes are definitely taking place in this sector. He said that the tireless efforts of Chief Minister Shri Sai have brought prosperity in the lives of the farmers of the state. He is the first Chief Minister in the entire country who has purchased paddy at the rate of 21 quintals per acre and Rs 3100 per quintal. He said that Chief Minister Shri Sai has worked to take cooperatives to the last village of the state. Apex Bank is the most powerful organization in the state with a turnover of Rs 40 thousand crores and through this, loans worth Rs 7 thousand 5 hundred crores have been made available to the farmers so far.

Dr. Singh said that due to the efforts of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, every citizen of the country was connected to the banking system and the result of this is that today 100% amount is being received directly in the account of the beneficiaries without any middleman. He said that there are still immense possibilities in the field of cooperation and called for completing the work of connecting 100% farmers with cooperation and Apex Bank soon.
