From taking care of children, to pursuing higher education, to managing household chores, and making strides in their careers, women have accomplished themselves in every aspect of their lives.

Chattisgarh operates with the cooperation of men and women. Our state has always maintained the tradition of giving women the same status as men.

The Chhattisgarh government has worked actively to strengthen the condition of farmers. Mrs. Priyanka Gandhi has keenly observed how our state works by viewing the stalls. We have established BPOs. We have set up garment factories. We have always endeavoured to usher in economic prosperity.

We have issued ration cards. We have introduced schemes like the Half Bijli Bill Yojana. This scheme wasn't available in Bhilai earlier, but now people from the city are also reaping the benefits from the schemes.

However, she performed exceptionally well, and I was pleasantly surprised." In response to this, Smt.  Priyanka Gandhi gave a warm smile.

*We have ensured distribution of ration cards, introduced Bijli Bill Half Scheme. Earlier, it was not available in Bhilai township, now the availability has been ensured.

*Rahul Gandhi always says that every person should feel that the government belongs to him. Even during the challenging time of pandemic, we made strenuous efforts to save people from economic recession.

*Today we have among us a large number of Mitanins and Aanganbadi workers from various parts of Chhattisgarh, beaming with joy, as their honorarium was increased from Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000 in five years.

*We have implemented the Old Pension Scheme. We have hiked the Dearness Allowance. We have waived off the loans of self-help groups. To empower our sisters, we have increased the limit to loan amount for women's groups. We are providing loans at three percent interest. We are making dedicated efforts to empower women and to provide them equal opportunities. The amount of aid provided under Kanya Vivah Yojana has also been increased.

TNINS 

Mrs. Priyanka Gandhi started her speech by saying, "Door-Door se Dai Didi Bahini Man la Johar!" and hailing Bamleshwari Mata and Chhattisgarh Mahtari.

Mrs. Gandhi said that she has played traditional games like Pitthul, Gilli Danda, and Marbles in her childhood.

Chhattisgarh has laid the foundation of modern India. The people of the state have displayed exemplary hard work, dedication, and spirit.

Chhattisgarh symbolises the nation's dream of entrepreneurship and self-reliance.

What Bhilai represents today serves as an exemplary model for our entire nation. People from across the country come here. You all live here together in unity. The foundation of modern India was laid right here.

This stands as a testament to your hard work and unwavering dedication. It is a symbol of our nation's entrepreneurship. Standing before you at this women's gathering fills me with even greater pride because before coming on the stage, I had the opportunity to visit each stall.

I have seen self-reliant women radiating immense self-confidence, and they wore smiles that conveyed the government's positive impact on their lives. They are now standing firmly on their own feet. I asked many women what they were doing before this, and they mentioned that they had only recently received such opportunities.

One was a young doctor who travels from village to village distributing medicines. There were also some young girls who made cow dung-based materials and are a part of self-help groups. It's remarkable how much progress can be achieved by joining such groups. Listening to their stories, I realized that 'Chhattisgarh Mahtari' is carrying the cultural heritage on one hand and technology on the other.

We take immense pride in Bhilai, and the work accomplished here is truly unique.

Alongside Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, there were other great leaders who fought for our independence. This nation was built upon their principles.

I once accompanied my father on a tour to Amethi. He personally drove the jeep. When we arrived in a village and began interacting with the local people, a woman began loudly expressing her dissatisfaction. I was taken aback by how she was scolding my father. She was complaining about the poor condition of the road and questioned what he had done to improve it. This was the politics of that era when even the Prime Minister felt a direct responsibility to the public. I asked my father if he was upset by her words, but he replied, 'No, it was her responsibility, and it was both his and our duty to diligently perform our work.'

*All the schemes being implemented for women, were formulated with the belief that women are the backbone of this country. They are the key factor for development and well-being of their family as well as the society.

*Chief Minister himself had underlined the fact that women are skillfully living up to the responsibility of both the families. I know that the ones who sleep last at night are women. Women build the future of our next generation.

*Bhupesh Baghel ji's government is implementing several important schemes with an aim to empower each one of you. More than 10 lakh women have joined the self-help groups. They have started enterprises, playing an active role in the economic development of the state.

*Today I met the members of many such women self-help groups. They told me about the groups earning lakhs of rupees through their enterprises. The Government has also increased the honorarium of Mitanins, Anganbadi workers and assistants.

*Through 'Dai Didi Clinic' initiative of Chhattisgarh Government, women now have access to free healthcare services. Pregnant women are being provided nutritious food through Mahtari Jatan Yojana. Loans of women self-help groups worth crores of rupees were waived off.

Mukhyamantri Noni Sashaktikaran Sahayta Yojana gave a major boost to the cause of women empowerment.

Thousands of women got employment under the Mission Clean City project. The state government has implemented many such schemes for the well-being and empowerment of our mothers and sisters.

*All of this is happening because Chhattisgarh Government has a vision for you. Chhattisgarh Government is determined to create a better present and future for each one of you.

*The leadership in Chhattisgarh is service oriented.

*In this time of inflation, State Government's efforts have brought some respite to the people of Chhattisgarh. However, the rising inflation has become a burden for common people across the country.

 *Government of Chhattisgarh has taken several measures to bring ease and comfort to you in this time of crisis.

*Today the farmers of Chhattisgarh are happy. Farming has become a profitable occupation. The number of people engaged in farming activities in Chhattisgarh is growing by the day.

*Through Rajiv Gandhi Kisan Nyay Yojana, farmers of Chhattisgarh are receiving the highest price of paddy in the country.

*Millet Mission is yeilding benefits on multiple levels, being appreciated across the country and abroad.

*Stray cattle is a common problem across the country. Women have to guard their fields at night. But in Chhattisgarh, this problem has been resolved through Gauthans. I say this with conviction at every opportunity I get that the solution to this problem is in the Chhattisgarh Model of Development.

*As soon as the government came to power, loans of farmers were waived off. More than 5 lakhs forest pattas were distributed. Lakhs of BPL families have received free treatment facility of up to Rs 5 lakhs. Children from weaker sections of society are getting quality education with modern resources.

Chief Minister Shri Bhupesh Baghel's Address

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Chhattisgarh has suffered the least in terms of learning loss compared to the rest of the country.

I congratulate all of you. You will become teachers who are not only secure in the present but also in the future. You will also benefit from the Old Pension Scheme.

Therefore, I say to all of you that you need to secure the future of Chhattisgarh.

Once, I visited the Dhanora village in Keshkal during the Bhent-Mulakat programme. That's when I met a student, and she said to me, "Chief Minister, you have made Swami Atmanand Schools exceptional. Please make my school better as well." I assured her that we would improve the condition of all schools.

I feel that the unveiling of the repair and construction work of so many schools and additional classrooms is happening for the first time

Addressing the teachers, he emphasized, "The future of the children depends on how you shape them. It's in your hands."
