11-Jun-2022 1057

The concept of transforming Chhattisgarh’s Gauthans into Rural Industrial Parks is slowly taking shape in the state. Adhering to Mahatma Gandhi’s vision of Gram Swaraj which aims to strengthen the rural economy by promoting the rural cottage industries, Chief Minister Mr. Bhupesh Baghel has started this significant initiative to establish small cottage industries in different parts of Chhattisgarh to provide alternative income-generating opportunities for the villagers

The first such rural industrial park of Chhattisgarh has taken shape in Kulgaon of Kanker district, which has been named as Gandhi Gram. The work of developing Gauthan as Rural Industrial Park has been done by the district administration of Kanker along with women’s self-help groups. The necessary infrastructure for establishing small cottage industries has been developed here and production work has also started by connecting the villagers. More than 13 livelihood-related activities are being conducted in this Industrial park. The Forest Department has also started a residential training center for villagers based on the value addition process of minor forest produce. Chief Minister Mr. Bhupesh Baghel recently inaugurated the first Rural Industrial Park of Chhattisgarh at Kulgaon Gandhi gram during ‘Bhent and Mulaqat’campaign.

The Forest Department had given a loan of Rs 50 lakh to Indira Van Mitan Group Kulgaon from a circular fund for the establishment of Gandhi gram Rural Industrial Park. On the occasion of its launch, the Chief Minister announced to waive off the loan of the group in view of the concept and nature of this rural industrial park and the successful operation of economic activities here.

The Chief Minister Mr. Baghel believes that only by strengthening the economy of the villages, we, as a state can progress economically. The entire focus of the government is on farming and connecting the people of the village with economic production. Efforts are being made to bring a radical social and economic change in the villages by making the residents self-sufficient by providing them with proper training to add value by processing the agricultural produce. Along with agricultural and horticultural produce, new employment opportunities are being created through value addition of minor forest produce as well.In collaboration with Krishi Vigyan Kendra, units for making fish feed, mushroom production, spawn production have been established in Gandhi Gram Kulgaon campus. Apart from this, fisheries, goat rearing, poultry and vermi compost are being produced here. All these works are being done by the people of local self-help groups.

The infrastructure has also been developed for the Rural Industrial Park built in this Gauthan of Gandhi Village. These include interlocking, CC road, dormitory, residential room, kitchen hall, construction of shed for women's self-help group, construction of platform,and training room. An underground irrigation pipeline has also been laid, an ornate garden is being prepared. A residential training center for processing and value addition of minor forest produce has also been started here by the Forest Department. A loan of Rs 50 lakh has also been given to Indira Van Mitan Group. Keeping in view the work of the group, the Chief Minister has also announced to waive this loan.

Poultry farming and egg production are being done in a modern way. Layer farming and egg production is being done by the women's group here. Right now the production is in the initial stage, its consumption is also being done in Anganwadis. Due to this, Sheetla Group has earned an income of Rs 50,000. About 8 quintals of feed is being manufactured daily in the fish feed preparation unit here. The women of the Pooja self-help- group are running this unit. So far, the group has earned an income of 60 thousand from the sale of 18 quintals of food. Ragi flour is being prepared here by Pooja Self Help Group. It is being fed to children through a supplementary nutritional diet.

Mushroom and spawn production:- Mushroom production and spawn production unit has been constructed under Integrated National Horticulture Development Mission, which is being implemented by Lakshmi Self Help Group Kulgaon, 40 kg. An income of Rs 8000 has been obtained by selling mushrooms locally.

Pulses Mill and Spices Industry: The pulse mill and spice industry has been established by the Agriculture Department. Which is being conducted by the members of Jai Saraswati Mahila Samooh. Till now, 80 kg of moong dal, 70 kg of urad have been prepared and sold for Rs. 15 thousand. In the segment of spice industry, turmeric, coriander and chili powder have been prepared and 7500 kg spices have been sold. Similarly, paddy worth Rs 2600 has been harvested in Mini Rice Mill.

Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel intends that in order to make the village prosperous, self-sufficient and self-supporting, it is necessary to provide employment and income opportunities to the people of the village through small cottage industries in the village itself. The villages of Chhattisgarh should become the center of production and activities like trade should be conducted from the cities. Along with the collection of minor forest produce along with agricultural and horticultural crops, the work of value addition should also be done in the village. This will give employment opportunities to the villagers. Seeing the resolve to develop Gauthans as Rural Industrial Parks and the enthusiasm of the villagers, it seems that in the coming times these parks will emerge as major centers of production in the villages.

Polling underway for 16 RS seats in four seats

10-Jun-2022 596

New Delhi Jun 10 (PTI) Polling for 16 Rajya Sabha seats in four states is underway on Friday amid allegations of attempts at horse-trading by rival parties which have corralled their MLAs in hotels and scenic resorts.

The Election Commission has appointed special observers and ordered videography of the entire exercise.

Polling started at 9 am and will continue till 4 pm. The counting of votes will take place at 5 pm.

Prominent among those whose electoral fate will be decided are Union Ministers Nirmala Sitharaman and Piyush Goyal, Congress candidates Randeep Surjewala, Jairam Ramesh and Mukul Wasnik, and Shiv Sena's ubiquitous face Sanjay Raut. All these leaders are expected to win without a hiccup.

Bienniel elections to 57 Rajya Sabha seats were announced recently and all 41 candidates in Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Punjab, Telangana, Jharkhand and Uttarakhand were declared elected unopposed last Friday.

However, elections will be held for 16 seats of Haryana, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Karnataka on Friday as the number of candidates exceeds the seats going to the polls.

Arch rivals BJP and Congress have corralled their MLAs in hotels and resorts lest they should be poached, treating them to generous hospitality.

After more than two decades, Maharashtra will witness a contest in the Rajya Sabha polls as there are seven candidates in the fray for six seats.

The ruling MVA allies - Shiv Sena, NCP, Congress - have lodged their MLAs in different hotels and resorts in Mumbai. They will leave for the state assembly just before the polling begins, sources in the ruling coalition said.

Union minister Goyal, Anil Bonde, Dhananjay Mahadik (BJP), Praful Patel (NCP), Sanjay Raut and Sanjay Pawar (Shiv Sena) and Imran Pratapgarhi (Congress) are in fray for the six seats. The contest is for the sixth seat - between BJP's Mahadik and Sena's Pawar.

The Shiv Sena has 55 MLAs, NCP 53, Congress 44 , BJP 106, Bahujan Vikas Aghadi (BVA) three, Samajwadi party, AIMIM and Prahar Janshakti party two each, MNS, CPI(M), PWP, Swabhimani Party, Rashtriya Samaj Paksh, Jansurajya Shakti party, Krantikari Shetkari Party one each, and there are 13 independent legislators.

Both the MVA partners and BJP are banking on the 25 additional votes of smaller parties and independents to see their candidates emerge victorious for the sixth seat.

The 288-member Maharashtra Assembly is the electoral college for the elections but the total votes have come down to 285 because of a vacancy due to the death of Shiv Sena MLA Ramesh Latke and a special court's rejection of the pleas of NCP's Nawab Malik and Anil Deshmukh, in jail for alleged involvement in money laundering cases, seeking a day's bail to vote.

In Haryana, where voting will take place for two seats, the MLAs of the ruling BJP and some of its ally JJP were lodged in a resort near Chandigarh. The Congress legislators are also in a resort in Chhattisgarh amid apprehension of poaching.

While the BJP, with 40 MLAs in the 90-member Haryana Assembly, has nine more than the 31 first preference votes required for a straight win, the contest has become keen for the second seat with entry of media baron Kartikeya Sharma, an Independent. He has the backing of BJP-JJP combine, most of the Independents, and Gopal Kanda, lone MLA of the Haryana Lokhit Party.

The BJP has fielded former Minister Krishan Lal Panwar, while Ajay Maken, a former Union minister, is the Congress nominee.

The Congress has 31 members in the state Assembly, just enough to help its candidate win a seat. Its prospects could be in jeopardy in case of cross-voting.

Kuldeep Bishnoi, the younger son of former Haryana chief minister, the late Bhajan Lal, is reportedly miffed with the party as he did not find any position in the new state Congress unit when it was reconstituted in April.

In the 90-member Haryana Assembly, the BJP has 40 MLAs while the Congress has 31. The JJP, an ally of the BJP, has 10 legislators, while the Indian National Lok Dal and Haryana Lokhit Party have one each. There are seven Independents.

In Karnataka, the main opposition Congress and JD(S) of former prime minister H D Deve Gowda continued to wrangle over the fourth seat they could win if one of them supported the other.

Altogether six candidates are in the fray for four seats, necessitating a keen contest for the fourth.

Despite not having the number, the BJP, Congress and JD(S) have fielded candidates for the seat, forcing an election.

A candidate needs 45 first preference votes for a facile win, and based on its strength in the Legislative Assembly, the BJP can win two seats and the Congress one.

The six candidates in the fray Union Finance Minister Sitharaman, actor-politician Jaggesh and outgoing MLC Lehar Singh Siroya of the BJP, former Union Minister Jairam Ramesh and state general secretary Mansoor Ali Khan from the Congress, and former MP D Kupendra Reddy from the JD(S).

After getting two Rajya Sabha candidates (Sitharaman and Jaggesh) elected on its own strength, the BJP will be left with an additional 32 votes.

The Congress, after seeing former Union minister Jairam Ramesh through, will be left with 24 votes. The JD(S) has only 32 MLAs, which is not enough to win a seat.

Rajasthan Congress MLAs and Independent legislators supporting the party had on Thursday reached Jaipur from Udaipur, where they were lodged in a resort amid fears of horse trading.

Polling will be held for four Rajya Sabha seats in Rajasthan.

The Congress has fielded Mukul Wasnik, Randeep Surjewala and Pramod Tiwari, a prominent Uttar Pradesh politician, while the BJP has chosen former minister Ghanshyam Tiwari, who earlier was a vocal critic of former Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje.

The Congress and the BJP are set to comfortably win two and one seats, respectively.

Media baron Subhash Chandra has made the contest interesting by entering the fray as a BJP-backed independent candidate.

There are many available resources around us which can be effectively utilized to start an era of economic progress. Emphasizing on processing, the Chief Minister said that about 250 women from Bakavand in Bastar district have secured employment through cashew nut processing. Similarly, in Katekalyan, nets are being used for Mahua collection so that the Mahua doesn’t fall on the ground and its quality remains intact. This Mahua is being exported to London, where it is being sold at Rs. 116 per Kg. He also suggested the use of steel knives for cutting mangoes for producing Aamchur instead of iron ones.

The Limdarha Midway Resort in Khalhemurwend is here to fill this gap. This will be the first fully equipped midway resort of Chhattisgarh, where national and international cuisines will be available.
