Balod, December 12, 2021. Chief Minister Shri Bhupesh Baghel discussed with the people of the state on the topic “New Chhattisgarh and three years of justice” in the 24th episode of the monthly radio talk Lokvani broadcast today. Of. He said in Lokvani that in these three years, new paradigms of development and justice have been established, giving the state of Chhattisgarh its real Chhattisgarhia identity. In this, we have fulfilled the dreams our forefathers had dreamed for the state of Chhattisgarh.
The Chief Minister’s monthly radio talk Lokvani program was also enthusiastically listened to in Balod district. Chief Minister Shri Baghel said that today Chhattisgarh model of development is being discussed in the whole country and in the world. I believe that when we follow the path of our forefathers and move ahead with reforms without tampering with the old values, we reach the pinnacle of success. In three years, we have made such efforts for the poor and weaker sections which were never thought of before. Recently we celebrated Mahaparinirvan Diwas of Babasaheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar on 6th December. 10th December was the martyrdom day of Amar Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh ji and 18th December is the birth anniversary of Gurubaba Ghasidas ji. I would like to salute these personalities and say that everyone has ideals in our policies. In the last three years, we have been successful in following the path shown by the weaker sections by giving them equal opportunities.
Chief Minister Shri Baghel said that people in Chhattisgarh have not only seen the changes in three years, but are also feeling it for betterment in their lives. In this way, we made such schemes, which are actually tribal areas and the plains can do good to all. With the return of land in Lohandiguda, justice for the tribals and farmers began. Thousands of canceled individual claims were brought back in the process by reviewing the canceled forest rights claims. We are happy that so far more than 22 lakh hectares of land has been given to tribal and traditional residents, which has become a means of livelihood for more than 5 lakh families. In Chhattisgarh, the remuneration for collection of tendu leaves increased from Rs 2500 to Rs 4000 per standard sack, With the implementation of ‘Shaheed Mahendra Karma Tendupatta Sangraha Samakriksha Yojana’, a new light has come in the lives of forest dependent families. Three years ago, only 07 forest produce were being purchased on support price. But we made arrangements to buy 52 forest produce at support price. Not only this, there has also been a substantial increase in the collection remuneration rate or support price for 17 minor forest produce. In this way, the Government of India has given 25 awards to Chhattisgarh for purchasing, processing minor forest produce at support price, adding women self-help groups to them and playing a big role in the empowerment of tribal society. Not only this, Chhattisgarh has also been awarded the National Award for three consecutive years for cleanliness. This time the maximum 67 urban bodies of Chhattisgarh have received awards at the national level and once again Chhattisgarh has been recognized as the cleanest state of the country.

Not only this, Chhattisgarh has also been awarded the National Award for three consecutive years for cleanliness.

Chief Minister Mr. Baghel said that the farmers of Chhattisgarh are understanding the conditions in which we have to work, and you people have full confidence that the work we are doing related to farmers is in the right direction. Is. I would definitely like to say that farmer is my life, my life and farming is my heartbeat. The day I will not do farming or think for the betterment of farming, understand that in that moment I will not be the person you love. I have worked in the fields from childhood till my youth, so I have complete knowledge of farming. Every crop is a ladder for the farmer. Only low input cost and good output price can make farming profitable. That’s why we first fixed the debt burden on the farmers, the stigma of default, the hindrance of arrears, through loan waiver. Facilitated the installation of irrigation pump connections, Arranged free or subsidized electricity supply for irrigation. Not only paddy, but all kharif crops, horticulture crops, millets i.e. minor cereal crops were brought under the purview of input subsidy under the Rajiv Gandhi Kisan Nyay Yojana. In the first year, when we gave you the price of paddy at the rate of 2500 rupees per quintal, some people blocked it and how did we come out by breaking that barrier, This is no secret. All these facilities will continue in future also. Our government will stand like a rock with the farmers. No force can deter us from its path. We have also welcomed the bumper crop of paddy. More than 105 lakh metric tonnes of paddy is estimated to be procured this year. We are continuously demanding from the central government that permission should be given to make ethanol from paddy. If it is found, then understand that then we will not even have to spread our hands in front of anyone. We will create such an economy that the farmer will get the desired price for his produce.
Chief Minister Shri Baghel said that the Chhattisgarh model is really inspired by the idea of participation, coordination, all interest, respecting its heritage and moving forward together with harmony. The biggest thing in the development model of Chhattisgarh is the support of each other, whether it is in the form of schemes or mutual cooperation. For example, when we talk about villages, we do not talk about any one department or one scheme. Starting from Narva, Garuva, Ghuruva, Bari, Godhan Nyay Yojna, they reach to Multiutility Centre, Rural Industrial Park and Food Park. All these are related to the resources of villages and forests. They are also related to agriculture, forest produce, traditional skills and new methods of processing. Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru, Shastri, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Indira ji, talking about empowering the weaker sections,
Chief Minister Shri Baghel said that when we started work on the valuation of resources of our state in a concrete manner, industrial development also gained momentum. Due to this, 01 thousand 751 industries were set up in three years and 32 thousand 192 people got direct employment. Permanent recruitment was done after 20 years in many posts in government and semi-government offices. Where there was no provision of permanent recruitment, jobs were also given in one way or the other, which together gave more than 04 lakh 67 thousand jobs. Many sectors like MNREGA, self-help groups, forest management were linked with employment opportunities through convergence, due to which more than 50 lakh people were provided livelihood. Thus we have enunciated by our great constitution, Realized democratic values and the concept of a welfare state. Whether it is the Swami Atmanand Government English Medium School Scheme in the field of education or the initiative to constitute 72 tehsils, 07 sections and 05 districts in the field of administration, the aim of all these is to provide justice to the weaker sections of the society. Chief Minister Shri Baghel said that our Chhattisgarh model is such a model of inclusive development, which has harmony, compassion and participation of all at its core. Chhattisgarh has proved in three years that the people of Chhattisgarh will be recognized as people working with new and right thinking not only in their state but in the whole country. There is compassion and participation by all. Chhattisgarh has proved in three years that the people of Chhattisgarh will be recognized as new and working people with right thinking not only in their state but across the country.
