Raipur, February 25, 2026<\/strong> : Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai<\/strong> today said that Chhattisgarh is progressing rapidly towards becoming a developed state in line with the national resolve of building a Developed India. He emphasised that a highly favourable environment has been created in the state for trade and industry, which is why traders and industry representatives are increasingly coming forward to invest in Chhattisgarh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chief Minister was addressing the closing ceremony of the National Trade Expo 2026 organised by the Confederation of All India Traders<\/strong> at BTI Ground in the state capital Raipur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the gathering, Chief Minister Sai said that the Finance Minister, Shri O. P. Choudhary, has presented a budget of \u20b91.72 lakh crore for the financial year 2026\u201327. He noted that the present government has completed two years and is now in its third year. The first year\u2019s budget had the theme \u201cGYAN,\u201d where \u2018G\u2019 stood for the poor, \u2018Y\u2019 for youth, \u2018A\u2019 for annadata (farmers), and \u2018N\u2019 for women, with a focused approach on the development of these sections. In the second year, to accelerate this progress, the budget theme was \u201cGATI,\u201d while this year\u2019s budget has been themed \u201cSANKALP\u201d (Resolve).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chief Minister said the budget has been prepared in the spirit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi<\/strong>\u2019s mantra of \u201cSabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas,\u201d and is aimed at the overall welfare of the state. He added that special focus has been given to the Bastar and Surguja regions. Describing Bastar as an area larger than the state of Kerala and endowed with immense natural beauty, he said it could be considered a paradise on earth, but remained deprived of development for over four decades due to Naxalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chief Minister Sai said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah<\/strong>, and due to the unmatched courage of security forces, Naxalism is now in its final phase. A resolve has been taken to eliminate Naxalism from Chhattisgarh and the entire country by March 31, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stated that while earlier a large number of Naxals were active in the state, decisive action over the last two years has led to the elimination of several senior Maoists and the surrender of many others. As a result, the state is now moving swiftly towards its development goals. To compensate for years of lost development, the government is giving special attention to these regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chief Minister informed that provisions have been made in the budget for setting up Education Cities in areas such as Abujhmad and Jagargunda. Efforts are also underway to promote agriculture and add value to forest produce. He said that hundreds of varieties of forest produce are available in the Bastar and Surguja divisions, and value addition is strengthening the local economy. Nearly 44 percent of Chhattisgarh\u2019s geographical area is covered by forests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that under the \u201cOne Tree in the Name of Mother\u201d campaign, 70 million trees have been planted, and compensatory afforestation is being carried out on a large scale under the state\u2019s industrial policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chief Minister Sai said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has resolved to make India a developed nation by 2047, and accordingly, building a Developed Chhattisgarh is essential. A detailed vision document has been prepared by the state government, aiming to double the current GSDP within five years and raise it to \u20b975 lakh crore by 2047. He noted that the positive outcomes of the new industrial policy are already visible, with investment proposals worth nearly \u20b98 lakh crore received through various investment meets held in major cities. Several projects have already moved to the ground level, including investments in semiconductors and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chief Minister said that traders will play a crucial role in building a Developed Chhattisgarh by 2047. He congratulated the entire CAIT team for the successful organisation of the National Trade Expo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the occasion, the Chief Minister visited various stalls at the expo, encouraged participants, and also released a \u201cSwadeshi\u201d poster published by CAIT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event was attended by National Traders\u2019 Welfare Board Chairman Shri Sunil Singhi, Raipur Mayor Mrs. Meenal Choubey, CAIT National Vice President Shri Amar Parwani, other senior office-bearers of CAIT Chhattisgarh, and a large number of distinguished citizens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
