The Chief Minister assured the youth that the state government is working rapidly through the ‘Niyad Nella Nar Yojana’ to bring basic facilities to their villages. He explained that with the continuous opening of security camps and the growing reach of administration in remote areas, the Naxal influence is shrinking, which is now allowing development to accelerate.

Shri Sai also mentioned that during his recent visit to Delhi, he had important discussions with Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah regarding the development of Bijapur and other areas of the Bastar division. He said that both the central and state governments are fully committed to the region’s development. “Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and Home Minister Shri Amit Shah are continuously monitoring the situation in the state’s remote areas and are regularly reviewing the development work being carried out there,” he added.

The Chief Minister assured the youth that the government is prioritizing plans to install mobile towers, build paved roads, provide electricity to every home, and expand transportation services in their villages. He stated that rapid progress is being made in these areas so that rural residents in remote regions can also enjoy urban facilities.
