Chief Minister meets Prime Minister and Home Minister, presents a new vision of Chhattisgarh

New Delhi : Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai met Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Friday. During the meeting, he presented the changing face of Bastar, highlighting peace and development initiatives, and also briefed the Prime Minister about the recently held Su-Shasan Tihar (Good Governance Festival) in Chhattisgarh.

During his visit to Delhi, the Chief Minister also called on Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah at his residence, where they discussed key issues including state development and anti-Naxal operations.

The Chief Minister stated that Bastar, once known for guns and landmines, is now witnessing the rise of mobile towers — not just as tools of communication, but as symbols of progress and trust.

He informed that in the past one and a half years, the state government has established 64 new forward security camps in the region. These camps have not only enhanced the sense of safety in nearby villages but have also brought mobile network connectivity to previously remote areas. A total of 671 mobile towers have been activated so far, with 365 of them providing 4G services. This marks the beginning of a digital revolution in tribal regions.

“Today, these mobile towers signify more than just connectivity,” the Chief Minister said. “They represent a future where children and youth in Bastar are now part of the digital world. Where earlier they had to travel to cities to prepare for exams or access education, now the same opportunities are available in their own villages through online platforms. Young people in Bastar are shaping their own futures using smartphones.”

He also highlighted that villages around these security camps are now receiving basic amenities like electricity, drinking water, healthcare, and education. Under the Niyad Nellanar scheme, 18 community services and 25 government welfare schemes are being implemented simultaneously in 146 identified villages.

The Chief Minister briefed the Prime Minister on the success of Su-Shasan Tihar, during which hundreds of grievance redressal camps were organized. From MPs to MLAs, public representatives directly visited villages to address people’s concerns. At these camps, citizens received services such as ration cards, Aadhaar updates, pensions, health check-ups, school admissions, Ayushman cards, PM Awas, and Ujjwala gas connections — all under one roof.

Shri Sai also presented a detailed account of Chhattisgarh’s initiatives and innovations in the field of water conservation. He emphasized that the state is working in mission mode to tackle water scarcity, combining community participation with technological interventions at every level.

The Chief Minister informed the Prime Minister that due to changing climate patterns, the number of rainy days in Chhattisgarh has reduced from around 100 to just 65 annually. In response, the state has launched a unique initiative titled ‘Water Conservation Initiative – Chhattisgarh’s Model for a Secure Future’.

As part of this model, innovative water-saving methods are being adopted in villages. Where rainwater earlier flowed away, efforts are now being made to capture and store it. Technologies like GIS mapping and the Jaldoot mobile app are being used to identify critical areas in need of water infrastructure.

Most significantly, women are playing a central role in this campaign. Women’s groups are actively involved in cleaning and deepening ponds, reviving traditional water bodies, and promoting water stewardship in their communities. This collective effort is helping ensure clean and sufficient water in rural areas.

Chief Minister Sai also informed the Prime Minister about the Nalanda Campus — India’s first 24x7 hybrid public library. Built at a cost of ₹18 crore, the campus includes an e-library, youth tower, health zone, and solar-powered infrastructure. Over 11,000 students have benefited so far, with more than 300 successfully clearing UPSC and CGPSC exams. He also shared details about the Prayas model, which provides free coaching to underprivileged and tribal students for national-level exams such as IIT-JEE, NEET, and CLAT. So far, 1,508 students from this initiative have secured admission in prestigious institutions across India.

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi appreciated the Chief Minister’s efforts and assured full support from the Central Government for Chhattisgarh’s development journey.

New beginning of industrial revolution in Chhattisgarh

TNINS

Approval to BEML's heavy earth moving equipment plant

Local employment will be boosted

Raipur : The Chhattisgarh government has taken another important decision today towards taking the state to new heights of industrial and economic development. In a meeting of the Council of Ministers held at Mahanadi Mantralaya Bhawan under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai, Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML) was given in-principle approval to set up a heavy earth moving equipment manufacturing plant in the state. For this plant, it has been decided to allot 100 acres of land adjoining the National Highway near Bilaspur, Champa at a token rate, with the aim of promoting local employment generation and micro-small industries.

The new Industrial Policy 2024-30 of the Chhattisgarh government, which came into effect from November 1, 2024, has made the state investor-friendly. The basic mantra of this policy is minimum governance, maximum incentive, under which the process of setting up industries has been made simple and transparent. Facilities like Single Window System 2.0, online application, and quick processing have eased the business environment in Chhattisgarh for entrepreneurs. The policy gives special impetus to sectors like pharmaceuticals, information technology, artificial intelligence, green hydrogen, semiconductors, and tourism.

Under this policy, attractive provisions like 30-50 percent subsidy, tax exemption for 5 to 12 years and interest subsidy have been made for the industries. Apart from this, B-spoke policy for units providing more than 1000 jobs and training grant of up to Rs 15,000 per person are also included. The government aims to create 5 lakh new jobs in the next five years, which is a big step towards making the local youth self-reliant.

The establishment of BEML's Heavy Earth Moving Equipment Manufacturing Plant will not only increase industrial activities in Chhattisgarh but will also create employment opportunities locally. The decision to allot 100 acres of land for this plant at a token rate reflects the government's commitment to investors. This move will promote micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) as well as strengthen the local supply chain. This project will provide employment to thousands of people directly and indirectly, which will bring economic prosperity in both rural and urban areas.

The Chhattisgarh government has made several reforms to promote ease of doing business. Through the single window system, all approvals are being provided to the industries on a single platform, saving time and cost. The expansion of online facilities has also accelerated the establishment of industries. Entrepreneurs can now apply for various approvals sitting at home.

The Chhattisgarh government, led by Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai, has taken meaningful initiatives to attract investments. Industrialists from India and abroad participated in the Investors Connect Meet held in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, resulting in investment proposals worth Rs 4 lakh 40 thousand crore. The agreement to invest Rs 6,000 crore in Mumbai Summit, Rs 15,184 crore in Delhi, and Rs 15,184 crore in Bengaluru in the energy sector has underlined the industrial potential of Chhattisgarh.

According to the Project Today Survey, in the financial year 2025, Chhattisgarh received an investment of Rs 1,63,749 crore in 218 new projects, which is 3.71 percent of the total investment in the country. This achievement has put Chhattisgarh among the top ten investment states in the country. Chief Minister Sai assured the industrialists that the Chhattisgarh government will provide all possible support with transparent and investor-friendly policies.

Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai has said that the new industrial policy of Chhattisgarh not only promotes the establishment of industries, but also emphasizes on employment generation and economic prosperity.
