Chief Minister Sai said that the government’s job is to formulate policies for the public good, but the responsibility for their implementation rests with the officers of the Administrative Service. Chhattisgarh is a very prosperous state. It has abundant mineral and forest resources, fertile soil, and a strong power sector. Naxalism was a major obstacle to the state’s development, but it is now breathing its last. Our soldiers are fighting the Naxalites with full vigor.
The Chief Minister said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are committed to eradicating the Naxalite problem by March 31, 2026. Our brave soldiers are fighting bravely. With this goal achieved, Chhattisgarh will develop even faster. As State Administrative Service officers, your responsibilities will also increase. You will play a crucial role, especially in advancing the tribal community in Chhattisgarh.
Chief Minister Sai stated that bringing transparency to administration is our priority. Chhattisgarh is the first state to establish a Department of Good Governance . The e-office system has also been implemented in Chhattisgarh.
Chhattisgarh’s new industrial policy is attracting investors. So far, we have received investment proposals worth ₹7.5 lakh crore. You all will play a role in making Chhattisgarh a leading state.
During his discussion with the trainee officers, Chief Minister Sai stated that revenue matters directly impact the public. Sometimes, even a small initiative by administrative officers can provide significant relief.
The Chief Minister stated that our government is continuously striving for the timely resolution of revenue matters. Revenue processes are being simplified by making them online.
Present on this occasion were Pranav Singh, Joint Director of the Chhattisgarh Administrative Academy, and trainee officers of the State Administrative Service.
