Shri Sai performs Chherapahara ritual and seeks blessings for people of the State

Raipur : Bhagwan Jagannath Rath Yatra was celebrated with great fervor in Raipur city, the capital of Chhattisgarh. Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai attended the Rath Yatra at the Jagannath Temple located in Gayatri Nagar, Raipur. Before commencing the Rath Yatra, the deity's idol was brought to the chariot, and the path was ceremonially swept with a golden broom, known as "Cherapahara" ritual.

On this occasion, Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai extended greetings to all the residents of the state. He said that this auspicious festival holds the same significance for Chhattisgarh as it does for Odisha. He emphasized that Lord Jagannath holds the same reverence among the people of Chhattisgarh as He does in Odisha, and His blessings have been equally bestowed upon both regions.

Shri Sai highlighted that Lord Jagannath is considered the protector of farmers. He credited the deity’s grace for rainfall, the growth of paddy, and the prosperity of farmers. He prayed to Lord Jagannath for a bountiful harvest in Chhattisgarh this year. He also prayed to Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra to continue their blessings and lead everyone towards peace, prosperity, and happiness.

Chief Minister Performs Cherapahara Ritual with Golden Broom

The Jagannath Temple in Raipur follows the tradition of Puri’s Rath Yatra. Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai performed the Cherapahara ritual by sweeping with a golden broom to inaugurate the Rath Yatra. Following this, he carried the idol of Lord Jagannath to the chariot.

Rath Yatra in Chhattisgarh Inspired by Odisha's Traditions

Odisha is renowned for the Rath Yatra, and as a neighbouring state, Chhattisgarh has been significantly influenced by this tradition. At the Rath Yatra ceremony conducted today, customary rituals were performed and special prayers were offered to Lord Jagannath, his brother Balabhadra, and sister Subhadra. According to the temple priests, this event symbolizes an unbreakable bond between the cultures of Utkal and Dakshin Kosal.

It is believed that the original abode of Lord Jagannath is Shivrinarayan in Chhattisgarh, from where He later moved to Jagannath Puri. Shivrinarayan is also significant as the place where Lord Shri Ram tasted the sweet berries offered by Mata Shabari in the Treta Yuga. Presently, the temple of Nar-Narayan stands at this location.

Raipur : Women of Geedam are determined to attain success and realize their dreams with their hard work and perseverance. The path of those who strive diligently unfolds on its own. This is being exemplified by the women of Maa Gauri Self-Help Group in Hidpal Gram Panchayat, located 30 to 35 kilometers from the remote district headquarters of Dantewada in Geedam block. These rural women, residing in remote forest areas, are now engaged in the labour-intensive task of manufacturing cement bricks. Five male masons (Mistri) trained these women in operating the brick-making machine, and mixing the correct proportions of cement, sand, and dust, while explaining each and every step in detail.

The primary knowledge of brick-making has immensely benefited the women, as they are now operating the machine independently. The women of Maa Gauri Self-Help Group have pledged to make this trade their livelihood. Notably, the state government's prioritization of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana has increased the demand for bricks in rural areas. Mrs. Kamla Korram of Maa Gauri Self-Help Group expressed that she is happy to learn the skill of brick-making as this would help her earn livelihood and support her family.

Another member, Mrs. Tulsi Kashyap, mentioned that initially, the district administration provided free dust and cement. They also received brick molds under the National Livelihood Mission and free training from the administration. She expressed her gratitude to the Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai, and the district administration for their support.

In the future, the group will be responsible for purchasing sand, dust, and cement. Mrs. Mangaldai, another member of the group, further informed that Maa Gauri Self-Help Group has taken a loan of Rs 3 lakh from the bank. Previously, they were involved in making red bricks by thoroughly mixing the soil. The only difference now is that they mix sand, dust, and cement together in a mixer machine and pour the mixture into the brick moulds, which produces ten bricks at a time. With the training in brick manufacturing, a new avenue for self-employment has been opened for women. Now, every rural woman in the district can fulfill the dream of becoming "Lakhpati Didi" under the ambitious "Lakhpati Didi scheme".

Emergency Ambulance Service for Those in Need

Raipur : Under the guidance of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai and the directives of Health Minister Shri Shyam Bihari Jaiswal, continuous efforts are being made to enhance healthcare facilities in the state. In the same sequence, the bike ambulance service was introduced by the district administration in the inaccessible villages of Kota block, Bilaspur district. This service has proven to be a boon for the people of these remote villages. This initiative, led by Collector Mr. Avneesh Sharan, aims to extend healthcare services to the villages of Kota block through the 'Sangwari Express' bike ambulance service.

Currently, four bike ambulances are operational, providing round-the-clock transportation to hospitals for those in need. Due to the challenging geographical conditions of a large part of Kota block, it is often impossible to access these areas by road. In emergency situations, the bike ambulance has become an excellent free transportation medium for villagers to travel to and from hospitals. The 'Sangwari Express' bike is designed like a mini-ambulance, capable of transporting a patient to the hospital without inconvenience. Like other ambulance services provided by the state government for public health, this facility is also entirely free. The bike ambulance has proved to be a blessing, especially for pregnant women and others residing in the remote forest areas of Kota block.

Assistance to Thousands of Patients

Since the bike ambulance service was commenced in Kota block, 1,339 patients have directly benefited from it, including patients from all categories. The service has reached 385 patients at Shivtarai PHC, 322 at Belgahna PHC, 366 at Kenda PHC, and 266 in Amagaon. Pregnant women from forest areas are transported to centers for institutional deliveries, and postpartum mothers are safely taken home after delivery using these bike ambulances.

Beneficial for Children As Well

The bike ambulance is also used for the regular health check-ups of pregnant mothers, vaccination of children, and treatment of seasonal illnesses. Villagers express their gratitude to the government for this facility. They state that previously, the lack of transportation made it challenging to access medical care, but the bike ambulance service has alleviated these difficulties. Mrs. Roshni from Bagdhara village shared that she was taken to the hospital for delivery using the bike ambulance, and this facility is indeed very beneficial for the villagers. Mrs. Ishwari Gond from Mohli village expressed her gratitude for the bike ambulance service, stating that it has proven to be life-saving.

She was transported to the Amagaohan Government Hospital at 11 PM for delivery using the bike ambulance. She further said that because of this service, both she and her baby are completely safe. Mr. Mahesh Dhanwad, a 27-year-old from Tuluf Gram Panchayat, was bitten by a snake and was immediately taken to the hospital using the bike ambulance. He is healthy today because of the prompt treatment he received.
