Raipur, TNINS
The Chhattisgarh Government has embarked on a pioneering initiative to harness the creative potential of its youth. Under the banner of "Garhbo Nava Chhattisgarh," Chief Minister Mr. Bhupesh Baghel has taken a significant step in engaging the state's young population in transformative endeavours. To facilitate this, the state government has established 13,242 Rajiv Yuva Mitan Clubs in the state, serving as platforms for youth participation in innovative projects. A remarkable 3,32,242 youths from the state have enthusiastically joined these clubs, marking a historic milestone. Chhattisgarh now stands as the first Indian state to mobilise its youth on such a grand scale for creative pursuits.
Inspired by the potential of Chhattisgarh's youth, the Chief Minister initiated the visionary concept of Rajiv Yuva Mitan Clubs. 'Mitan' translates to 'friend' in Chhattisgarh’s language, and the club encapsulates the spirit of companionship and collaboration among the members. Comprising a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 40 members, these clubs symbolise the power of collective enthusiasm. Launched on February 3, 2022, the Rajiv Yuva Mitan Club Scheme represents a groundbreaking effort to harness youth energy for creative endeavours. It not only fosters Chhattisgarh's culture, environment, and sports but also serves as a means to bring public welfare schemes closer to the people.
The state government is providing an annual grant of Rs. 1 lakh at a rate of Rs. 25,000 quarterly. This financial support empowers youth to organise events and pursue creative initiatives, fostering a vibrant atmosphere of enthusiasm and innovation.
The state government has distributed Rs. 132 crore to these youth clubs, igniting transformative changes across Chhattisgarh. An illustration of this impactful initiative can be found in Charbhantha, a village in Rajnandgaon district, where the Rajiv Yuva Mitan Club members established an information kiosk. This kiosk serves as a vital source of awareness, offering crucial information to the community. Govind Sahu, a club member, highlighted its importance, explaining how they reassure villagers during health crises by informing them about the Mukhyamantri Vishesh Swasthya Sahayata Yojana, which covers treatments up to Rs 25 lakh. Additionally, the club actively educates locals about the importance of clean drinking water sources and encourages pond cleaning. In Rajnandgaon's Anjora village, club members undertook a remarkable vaccination drive, visiting every household to ensure COVID-19 vaccination coverage. In Chinch village of the Raigarh district, the club spearheaded a massive afforestation campaign. They also monitored school attendance, ensuring that all children attended school. These accomplishments demonstrate the profound impact of the Rajiv Yuva Mitan Clubs on the state's communities.
Urban youth clubs are thriving in Chhattisgarh cities, with a focus on cultural engagement. Bhilai, for instance, hosts debating clubs that organise cultural competitions. The past 4.5 years have witnessed the construction of numerous sports complexes, and the Rajiv Yuva Mitan Clubs play a pivotal role in organising sports events, contributing significantly to the vibrant cultural and athletic landscape of the region.

RIPA's Impact: Edka village panchayat's craftsmen and artists secure Rs 30 lakh order
RIPA scheme is proving to be a cornerstone in strengthening the rural economy
Narayanpur TNINS
RIPA in the Edka village panchayat of Narayanpur district, being operated under the ambitious Mahatma Gandhi Rural Industrial Park scheme of the Chhattisgarh Government, is making remarkable progress. Presently, active operations are underway in three units - woodcraft, pottery, and handloom - involving nearly 50 men and women who are employed. Across the district, there are four operational RIPAs including one each in Edka, Chhotedongar, Orchha, Koliyari, engaging nearly 200 individuals in around 18 different activities. The Edka RIPA is specifically tailored to empower local craftsmen and artists.
Artists and craftsmen associated with this center have collectively received orders worth Rs 30 lakh. Beneficiaries are being furnished with essential resources including workspace, infrastructure, electricity, drinking water, sanitation facilities, machinery, raw materials, and free-of-cost training. Post-training, the artworks crafted by these artists are being sold to institutions through contractual agreements at various locations.
Members specializing in woodcraft and pottery stated that they previously faced challenges in securing work. They would only receive irregular small assignments, making their living exceedingly difficult. With the establishment of RIPA in the village, all artisans now collaborate under a single roof, ensuring a consistent flow of work. They further said that they have secured an order valued at Rs 20 lakh for crafting wooden tables and benches for schools. Additionally, there is a Rs 10 lakh contract underway for pottery artworks. We are extremely pleased with receiving orders and are working overtime to fulfil them. Undoubtedly, the RIPA scheme stands as a pivotal element in strengthening the rural economy, they said.
