I am the son of your village; it is my resolve to lead the state on the path of development- Chief Minister Sai
Raipur, May 21
As part of the third phase of Su-Shasan Tihar (Good Governance Festival), Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai visited Dokda village in his home district, Jashpur, to review the implementation of government schemes. He landed by helicopter and attended the Samadhan Shivir (Grievance Redressal Camp), where he examined actions taken on applications received and personally interacted with beneficiaries of the PM Awas Yojana and other schemes.
Addressing the villagers, the Chief Minister said, “I am a son of your village and home. It is my privilege to be elected Chief Minister by your blessings. It is my solemn pledge to lead the state on the path of development.”
He added, “Our government was formed with your blessings, and we have been working for development over the past one and a half years. In the very first cabinet meeting, we approved 1.8 million houses under the PM Awas Yojana. Continuous housing development is taking place across the state. Prime Minister Narendra Modi handed over keys to 300,000 beneficiaries in Bilaspur, and Union Panchayati Raj Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan did the same for 51,000 in Ambikapur. Those still living in unfinished homes need not worry—everyone listed under SECC and Awas Plus will receive homes. A significant budget has been allocated this year for PM Awas.”
The CM detailed other initiatives fulfilled under government guarantees, including:
Buying paddy at ₹3,100/quintal and up to 21 quintals per acre
Clearing two years’ worth of pending bonuses to farmers
Providing financial assistance to landless agricultural workers
