We have declared the year 2025 as ‘Atal Nirman Varsh’ in memory of Atal Ji. This year, the focus is entirely on quality development work. With the motto of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Prayas, and Sabka Vishwas’, it is the responsibility of every citizen to continuously monitor the development and construction works in their area and contribute to building a developed Chhattisgarh state.
Chief Minister Sai said this while addressing the inauguration and foundation laying ceremony of development works worth Rs 141 crore held at Gram Jugra in Balod district.
Chief Minister Shri Sai said that our government is committed to delivering good governance to the last person with a focus on education, health, irrigation resources, and road maintenance. What is called Ram Rajya in ancient Indian texts is good governance. The sunrise of good governance has happened, it has been possible only due to your love and immense public support. We are confident that your trust will remain unshakeable. Together, we will build a developed Chhattisgarh from a developing Chhattisgarh.
Chief Minister Shri Sai said that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji’s dream is that no Indian will sleep under the open sky. Every citizen will have a pucca house. Under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, more than 31 thousand families in Balod district have benefited from the scheme of constructing pucca houses. More than half of these houses have been built. The rest are being constructed. He congratulated and wished the beneficiaries who have entered the new houses.
