While addressing the dialogue program, Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai started his address by congratulating International Women’s Day and Mahashivratri.
He said that after thinking a lot about how to celebrate Women’s Day, I understood that all of you are deployed for the security of the state and the country by risking your lives in an area like Bastar.
Women have been respected in our country since ancient times. It is said that Yatra Naryastu Pujyante Ramante Tatra Devtaah. If we want wisdom then we worship Goddess Saraswati, for wealth and prosperity we worship Goddess Lakshmi.
Today, Mrs. Draupadi Murmu occupies the highest post of the country as Her Excellency the President. Today women are ahead in every field.
Development of Bastar and Surguja is our priority, for this we will not let there be any shortage of funds.
It is going to be two and a half months of our government, in such a short time we have taken many important decisions and have taken steps towards fulfilling the guarantee of Modi ji.
More than 18 lakh poor families were deprived of housing, we have approved housing for them. We gave two-year outstanding paddy bonus of Rs 3716 crore to more than 12 lakh farmers.
We fulfilled the promise made to the farmers. Rs. 3100 per quintal of paddy has been given to the farmers of the state and 21 quintals of paddy has been purchased per acre.
This year, the maximum amount of 145 lakh metric tonnes of paddy has been purchased, the remaining amount will be sent to the accounts of 24 lakh 72 thousand farmers on March 12.
Now married mothers and sisters will not have to wait much for Mahtari Vandan Yojana, money will come into the accounts of eligible beneficiaries in just two-four days.
