In his address to the program, Chief Minister said that we have created six districts and 85 tehsils during our tenure. At first we formed Gaurela-Pendra-Marwahi district, and later five more districts were formed. The purpose of creating districts and tehsils is to bring administration closer to the people. Closer the district, tehsil, and sub-division offices are to the public, faster and more effective will be the implementation of government schemes. This would benefit all the sections of the society including youth.
Chief Minister further said that we are moving ahead on the path of rapid development. Earlier, we used to source electricity supply from Madhya Pradesh, now Chhattisgarh has become the power hub. We have benefited farmers of the state with decisions like loan waiver, and schemes such as Rajiv Gandhi Nyay Yojana.

Chhattisgarh is the first state in the world where cow dung is being procured.
