The blessings of our mothers and sisters give me the strength to work. The glow of self-respect seen in the eyes of our mothers and sisters is our biggest satisfaction.

In his address, Chief Minister Sai mentioned village Dansara of Sarangarh-Bilaigarh district and said that the mothers and sisters here thought that a grand temple of Shri Ramlala has been built in Ayodhya Dham. We should also build a temple of Ramlala next to the Hanuman temple in our village.

Chief Minister said that yesterday I met the toppers of the PSC exam in Raipur. There was a sparkle of confidence in the eyes of those youth. They told me that their confidence was broken due to irregularities in the PSC exam, but when our government came, we worked for transparency in the PSC exam. Corruption in competitive exams not only ruins the future of a talented youth, but also destroys the structure of the civil service. When we gave the responsibility of investigating corruption to the CBI, their confidence was restored. Today we have also performed the Bhoomi Pujan of the Nalanda campus to be built with an amount of Rs 42 crore 56 lakh, which will greatly benefit the youth appearing for PSC and other competitive exams. We are starting libraries like Nalanda in the capital Raipur in 13 urban bodies of the state. There will be a collection of thousands of books here. There will be WiFi facility. Youth preparing for all kinds of competitive exams will be able to get study material here.
The Chief Minister said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set the goal of building a developed India in the year 2047. We have also prepared a vision document to develop Chhattisgarh by the year 2047. The vision document focuses on the rapid industrialisation of the state. We have made a new industrial policy for the rapid development of industries. Due to this, entrepreneurs in Chhattisgarh will have a lot of convenience in starting new ventures. Connectivity is the first condition for improving the industrial environment. In the next two years, the road network of our state will be at par with any developed country. Surguja and Bastar have got air connectivity. The way infrastructure work has been done in the railways in a decade, it will not only provide convenience to passengers in the future, but the movement of freight will also become very easy, which is most important for increasing business.
The Chief Minister said that now is the time to buy paddy. Our government has also taken full care of the prosperity of the farmers. We are buying paddy at Rs 3100 per quintal and 21 acres per quintal. Last time we had purchased a record 145 lakh metric tonnes of paddy. This time the target is 160 lakh metric tonnes . Our government is about to complete one year.
