Our Constitution is a vital foundation, anchoring our future, and we commemorate its importance every November 26. Every citizen should understand the value of the Constitution and commit to upholding its ideals. We must resist any attempt to alter its essence. The Emergency was a dark period in our history, with democratic rights suspended for 21 months. The extent of the crisis was severe, with countless citizens imprisoned, and the younger generation must know about this challenging phase.”

He stated “Chhattisgarh is home to premier institutions like IITs and IIMs, along with a prestigious university with which I am affiliated. The state is working to create policies that empower youth, women, and all segments of society to build a brighter future.

As a young state, our aim is holistic growth—not just economic but all-encompassing—where every citizen can thrive. We must all work towards realising Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of making India a developed nation by 2047, a goal in which every citizen, especially the youth, plays an enthusiastic part. Women’s contributions are essential to Chhattisgarh’s progress, and initiatives like the Mahtari Vandan Yojana are ensuring women gain a respected place in society.”

Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai began his address by congratulating the distinguished recipients of the state awards, mentioning that Shri Butle Ram Mathra Ji from Narayanpur is among the awardees, whom the Prime Minister also praised in his 'Mann ki Baat' program.

On this occasion, Assembly Speaker Dr. Raman Singh addressed the gathering, highlighting Chhattisgarh's remarkable achievements across various sectors, from food security to skill development.
