Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel while answering questions from the audience on the subject of ‘New Budget – New Goal’ said that the budget has been presented in Chhattisgarh this year keeping in mind the interests of all sections of the people.
Chief Minister Mr. Baghel said that the objective of the Rajiv Gandhi Kisan Nyay Yojana is to empower the farmer brothers who take different crops in the state in one way or the other. In the first year we paid paddy at the rate of Rs 2500 per quintal. In the second year, the support price was paid on the support price as per the purchase rule and 5 thousand 628 crore was paid to about 19 lakh farmers who took crops like paddy, maize, sugarcane etc. through the Rajiv Gandhi Kisan Nyay Yojana. This year, we have purchased 92 lakh metric tonnes of paddy from 20 lakh 53 thousand farmers, which is the biggest record for paddy purchase in the history of the state. This year too, we have kept a budget provision of Rs. 5 thousand 703 crore to provide cash assistance to farmers under the Rajiv Gandhi Kisan Nyay Yojana.
Apart from this, a budget provision of Rs 150 crore has been made in 7 tribal-dominated districts and 14 development blocks of Mungeli district to improve nutritional security and economic condition of farmers. To give loans to farmers without interest, the biggest goal in history has been to disburse loan of Rs 5 thousand 900 crore, for which budget provision has been made. A provision of Rs. 2 thousand 500 crore has been made to provide subsidized and free electricity to the farmers. At the same time, about 1000 crore rupees will be spent on the energization of irrigation pumps. If there is a provision of Rs 530 crore for solar pumps, then the work of providing about 35 thousand pending irrigation pump connections will also be completed, which will cost about 350 crore rupees. 495 crores will be spent on grant-in-aid for development of horticulture crops. The money that is being put in the pockets of farmers, is their education, health, Engaged in self-reliance and prosperity. In this way, our government is committed to increase the income of farmers and make agriculture profitable.
New justice scheme linking landless laborers with regular income
Chief Minister Mr. Baghel further said that the objective of the new Nyaya Yojana is to ensure regular income to the landless laborers to help the rural agricultural landless laborers. We have associated justice with the income of the needy, because a person’s life can be transformed only by getting a fixed income. The Chief Minister said that the work of purchasing cow dung at the rate of Rs. 2 per kg will continue under the Godhan Nyaya Yojana. Although we have paid about 90 crores on behalf of the state government on cow dung procurement, I am happy to say that through Gowthan self-help groups have made about 950 from the production and sale of vermi manure, construction of cow dung, etc. Received an income of Rs. Crore. Although it is our effort that the development of Swavalambi Gouthans is rapid, but a provision of Rs 175 crore has been made in the budget for the Gauthan scheme, so that the activities of the Gouthans will continue to be conducted better.
