Programmes including the Tussar Silk Development and Extension Programme, Palit Daba Tussar Cocoon Production Scheme, Natural Seed Multiplication, and Kosa Production Scheme, as well as Tussar Yarn Making, are contributing to the expansion of basic facilities at Silk and Tussar Centers across the state. In addition, the Rural Industries Department introduced a new initiative—the 'Shehtoot Resham Badi Yojana'—to encourage mulberry plantation and silkworm rearing in the private sector. This scheme, aimed at promoting mulberry silk production and creating sustainable employment in rural areas, targets small and marginal farmers. Under the scheme, assistance is provided for mulberry plantation, maintenance, sericulture building and equipment, as well as irrigation facilities. This support helps farmers establish a mulberry silk industry on their land, ensuring long-term livelihoods.

Farmers participating in the scheme will also receive one month of free training, covering all aspects of mulberry plantation and silkworm rearing. The total assistance under this scheme amounts to nearly Rs 5 lakh, provided on a per-item basis.

Registry process is becoming more transparent, efficient, and user-friendly.

Coordinates property's actual geographical location, permanently recorded on the registry document.

More than 1200 registries have been processed in the state since the implementation of 'Sugam App'

Raipur : Chhattisgarh government is leading in implementing user-friendly initiatives that prioritize the interests of the public. Since its launch on October 21, the Sugam App has quickly gained popularity, facilitating over 1,200 property registrations across the state and marking a significant shift towards online registration.

In compliance with Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai’s vision and under the directives of Finance and Registration Minister Shri OP Choudhary, the 'Sugam App' seeks to make the registry process more transparent and user-friendly.

Finance Minister Shri OP Choudhary said, “The government is committed towards more and more technological applications and procedural improvements in the registry work for citizen empowerment. Sugam App is an important step towards preventing property related fraud.”

Often such complaints come that after registration when a common man becomes a victim of fraud in many ways. It has been reported that a single property is sold to different people and in some cases registries are done for properties that do not actually exist. There are also instances where land designated for roads, pathways or gardens is sold fraudulently. In some cases more land is sold than what is physically available. These incidents contribute to disputes and an increase in court cases.

In Sugam App, during the process of registration, the party will physically go to the place where the registration is being done with his mobile. After going to that place, photos are taken from three different angles as directed in the app i.e. front, right and left of the property. That photo will automatically be transferred to the registrar's module for registering latitude and longitude of that place along with the photo. In this way, the App coordinates the actual geographical position of the property will permanently recorded in the registry paper, so that the party can go to that place anytime and identify the property.

Through the 'Sugam App', incidents of causing revenue loss to the government will also be curbed. Such incidents will be stopped through the Sugam App. The actual structure of the property will be known through the Sugam App- structures like buildings, roads, factories and other details, which cannot be hidden, curbing revenue evasion to the government. After such incidents are known, the parties will be able to get rid of the problems after registration.
