Sai Reaches Muler Village in Dantewada District: Good Governance Festival Reaches the Last Corner of Chhattisgarh

Raipur, May 15

Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai today visited Muler, a remote and tribal-majority village in Bastar division. This village is one of the last villages located on the border of Dantewada district, where inclusive development works are now rapidly progressing under the Niyad Nellanar scheme.
Chief Minister Shri Sai was warmly welcomed by the villagers with traditional garlands made of Mahua and mango leaves, and a ‘Gaur Mukut’ (bison horn crown). Chief Secretary Shri Amitabh Jain, Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister Shri Subodh Kumar Singh, and Director General of Police Shri Arun Dev Gautam were also felicitated with traditional bouquets made of Chhind leaves.
Chief Minister Shri Sai held a ‘Chaupal’ (community gathering) under a tamarind tree and directly interacted with the villagers. He listened to their grassroots problems and discussed development priorities. He inspected the ration shop, where he spoke with beneficiaries to ascertain the regularity, quality, and usage of ration distribution. During this, he also had the food grains weighed on the spot and checked a beneficiary’s ration card. Chief Minister Shri Sai also had a cordial conversation with children at the Anganwadi (child care center), inquiring about their literacy, color recognition, etc., and distributed chocolates to them.
Chief Minister Shri Sai made several important announcements on the spot, including the sanction of ₹4 lakh for the construction of the Andal Kosam Mata Temple, the establishment of a sub-health center in the village, the construction of a connecting road to Nahari, and the sanction of ₹5 lakh for culvert and CC road construction to connect all hamlets of the village. He further stated that camps would soon be organized to expedite the issuance of forest rights recognition certificates, Aadhaar cards, and Ayushman cards.
On this occasion, Chief Minister Shri Sai met Ramshila Nag, a student from Dantewada who secured the 9th position in the state’s 10th board examination. He honored her with a bouquet and sweets, and wished her a bright future.
Chief Minister Shri Sai’s visit to Muler village not only symbolized the sensitivity of good governance but also proved the state government’s commitment to reaching every last person in the state.
