Most of the promises of Modi Ji’s guarantee were fulfilled within a year: Shri Vishnu Dev Sai

We have transferred the tenth installment of the affection amount of one thousand rupees under the Mahtari Vandan Yojana to your account today for our 70 lakh mothers and sisters. The blessings of our mothers and sisters give me the strength to work. The sparkle of self-respect seen in the eyes of our mothers and sisters is our biggest satisfaction. Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai said this while addressing the function organized on the occasion of inauguration and Bhoomi Pujan of development works worth about Rs 137 crore in Raigarh district today. On this occasion, on the request of Chief Minister Shri Sai, Saraswati Yadav transferred an amount of Rs 652 crore as the 10th installment of Mahtari Vandan Yojana to 70 lakh women of the state by pressing the button.

In his address, Chief Minister Shri Sai mentioned village Dansara of Sarangarh-Bilaigarh district and said that the mothers and sisters here thought that a grand temple of Shri Ramlala has been built in Ayodhya Dham. We should also build a temple of Ramlala next to the Hanuman temple of the village. These women started the construction of the temple by collecting donations from the amount received from the Mahtari Vandan Yojana. There are so many stories of mothers and sisters dreaming and their dreams being fulfilled. I often ask mothers and sisters about this and every time their words touch my heart.

The Chief Minister said that yesterday I met the toppers of the PSC exam in Raipur. There was a sparkle of confidence in the eyes of those youth. They told me that their confidence was broken due to irregularities in the PSC exam, but when our government came, we worked for transparency in the PSC exam. Corruption in competitive exams not only ruins the future of a talented youth, but also destroys the structure of the civil service. When we gave the responsibility of investigating corruption to the CBI, their confidence was restored. Today we have also performed the Bhoomi Pujan of the Nalanda campus to be built with an amount of Rs 42 crore 56 lakh, which will greatly benefit the youth appearing for PSC and other competitive exams. We are starting libraries like Nalanda in the capital Raipur in 13 urban bodies of the state. There will be a collection of thousands of books here. There will be WiFi facility. Youth preparing for all kinds of competitive exams will be able to get study material here.

The Chief Minister said that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has set the goal of building a developed India in the year 2047. We have also prepared a vision document to develop Chhattisgarh by the year 2047. The vision document focuses on the rapid industrialization of the state. We have made a new industrial policy for the rapid development of industries. Due to this, entrepreneurs in Chhattisgarh will have great convenience in starting new ventures. Connectivity is the first condition for improving the industrial environment. In the next two years, the road network of our state will be at par with any developed country. Surguja and Bastar have got air connectivity. The way infrastructure work has been done in the railways in a decade, it will not only provide convenience to passengers in the future, but the movement of freight will also become very easy, which is most important for increasing business.

The Chief Minister said that now is the time to buy paddy. Our government has also taken full care of the welfare of the farmers. We are buying paddy at Rs 3100 per quintal and 21 acres per quintal. Last time we had bought a record 145 lakh metric tonnes of paddy. This time the target is 160 lakh metric tonnes of paddy. Our government is about to complete one year. The very next day of taking oath, we had approved 18 lakh houses and since then the process of fulfilling Modi ji’s guarantee has been going on continuously and now we have fulfilled most of the promises of Modi ji’s guarantee within a year. Today we have honored such beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, who have completed the work of their houses.
