The chief guest of the program, former Assembly Speaker and Bilha MLA, Shri Dharamlal Kaushik, extended his greetings and best wishes to the people of the state on State Foundation Day. Remembering former Prime Minister Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, he said that Chhattisgarh was created on November 1, 2000, due to his strong determination and visionary leadership. He provided the people of Chhattisgarh with a distinct identity and the opportunity for a new development journey. Shri Kaushik said that the people of the state will always remember Atal ji’s contributions.
MLA Mr. Kaushik, recalling the early days of the state’s formation, said that at that time, there were many challenges such as resource shortages, food shortages, power shortages, and migration for employment. Today, Chhattisgarh is making remarkable progress in agricultural production, infrastructure, industry, and public welfare schemes. Thanks to the hard work of the state’s farmers, Chhattisgarh is making a significant contribution to the country’s rice production and food grain supply. He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi and the guidance of Chief Minister Mr. Vishnudev Sai, development work in the state has gained new momentum. Under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, the dream of a permanent home is being realized for millions of families. The Mahatari Vandan Yojana is providing economic support to women. Schemes like the Ujjwala Yojana, Ayushman Bharat, and free food grains are bringing positive changes to the lives of the common people. He said that farmers are being given the benefit of purchasing paddy at the rate of Rs. 3100 per quintal, which is strengthening the economic condition of the farmers.
MLA Mr. Kaushik stated that roads, electricity, drinking water, and other infrastructure have expanded in the state. Improved road connectivity has reduced travel time and accelerated industrial development. Referring to the characteristics of Janjgir-Champa district, he said that this district is known for its agricultural presence and its historical, cultural, and religious heritage. The district’s natural and cultural heritage, including the Mahanadi, are its unique identity. He stated that the goal of a developed India 2047 will only be realized when Chhattisgarh develops and the districts also reach new heights of development. Mr. Kaushik stated that the government, public representatives, officials, employees, and ordinary citizens must work together to make Chhattisgarh a prosperous, happy, and one of the leading states in the country.
