Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has said that by giving good price to farmers for their produce, employment to youth, full respect to women and new identity to local culture and upliftment of tribals, we are building a new Chhattisgarh. Suraji Gaon Yojana has been started in Chhattisgarh to strengthen the rural economy on the 150th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, the visionary of ‘ Gram Swaraj ‘ . In order to make the people financially prosperous, many works like loan waiver of farmers, purchase of crops at good prices, purchase of forest produce and establishment of processing units for their value addition have been done. Chief Minister Shri Bhupesh Baghel organized ‘ Speakout Chhattisgarh-2021 ‘ organized by ‘ Outlook Group ‘ in Raipur today.” Addressing the expressed views of this effect. He honored the women self-help groups who did excellent work in the program.
Chief Minister Mr. Baghel said in the program that the societies which have tried to ignore, neglect and keep women within the boundaries of their homes, they have to face the face of defeat. In the olden times, women were kept away from education and employment. They were locked in the boundary wall and made an object of consumption. At the time of independence, women did not even have the right to own property. After the constitution of the country, the work of upliftment of women was done politically, socially, economically and constitutionally, but even after many efforts, ‘ half of the population ‘ has not got full rights.
The Chief Minister said that the women of self-help groups are doing good work to keep the rural economy moving. They are increasing the income of the family by doing self-employment along with handling the household chores. There is a good demand for many products manufactured by women’s groups. In addition to conducting various livelihood activities in Gauthans, women are engaged in making vermi compost on a large scale. 70 thousand women of the state are engaged in this work. In case of shortage of DAP manure, vermicompost and super compost manufactured in Gauthans have given a good alternative. Many farmers have used it in their fields. It Chhattisgarh biological state (Organic State) is marching towards becoming.
Shri Baghel said that cow rearing is being linked with the meaning of the state. More than one lakh acres of land has been preserved across the state in the form of Gauthan. Cow dung is being procured from livestock farmers. He said that cow dung is no longer used only for liniment. With this, now the walls will also be painted. MoU has been signed to make paint from cow dung. Work is also going on to generate electricity from it in Gauthans. Women of self-help groups are earning money by making many products of cow dung.
Chief Minister Shri Baghel said that the support of women is the guarantee of success in any work. During the second wave of corona infection, 70 thousand Mitanins of the state played a big role in getting control over it. Mitanins immediately provided medicines to the people on seeing the symptoms of corona. He said that Chhattisgarh is one of the cleanest states of the country for the last three years due to the contribution of cleanliness didis. Mr. Baghel said that I salute the women of the state who are increasing our honor and respect. They are making the state proud with their achievements.
