PM Modi’s Foundation Day greetings a source of inspiration and pride for three crore people of Chhattisgarh: Chief M

Raipur, Nov 1 (UNI) Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai has expressed his heartfelt gratitude, on behalf of the three crore people of Chhattisgarh, to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his warm letter and greetings on the occasion of Chhattisgarh State Foundation Day.
Chief Minister Sai said that the Prime Minister’s letter reflected his deep connection with the soil of Chhattisgarh, its hardworking people and its glorious cultural heritage. He said the Prime Minister’s affection, confidence and guidance provide the state with fresh energy to move forward towards building a prosperous, empowered and developed Chhattisgarh.
In his letter of gratitude to the Prime Minister, the Chief Minister said that the warmth with which PM Modi recalled his journeys and experiences, from the days of undivided Madhya Pradesh to the forested regions of Surguja and the remote areas of Bastar, touched the hearts of every resident of Chhattisgarh.
He said that the Prime Minister’s visit to Chhattisgarh last year on the occasion of the state’s Silver Jubilee, along with the inauguration of the new Legislative Assembly building, was an unforgettable milestone in the state’s development journey.
The Chief Minister said that Bharat Ratna and the revered leader Atal Bihari Vajpayee fulfilled the decades-old aspirations of the people of the state by creating Chhattisgarh. He said that the state government is committed to fulfilling Atal Bihari Vajpayee's vision of a prosperous and developed Chhattisgarh. He added that working towards this goal is both a privilege and an important responsibility.
Historic success against Naxalism is transforming Bastar’s identity
The Chief Minister noted in his letter that the Prime Minister had specifically highlighted the historic success against Naxalism and the positive transformation taking place in Bastar. He said this achievement is the result of the Prime Minister’s firm resolve, the extraordinary courage of security forces and the cooperation of local people. Once known for Naxal violence, Bastar is now shaping a new identity based on peace, trust and development.
Chief Minister Sai said that through the Niyad Nella Nar scheme, roads, electricity, drinking water, communication and healthcare facilities are reaching remote villages. The Pradhan Mantri Janman Yojana and Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan are giving fresh momentum to development in tribal regions.
Events such as the Bastar Olympics are taking the talent and confidence of tribal youth to new heights. The state government is committed to developing Bastar as a major centre for tourism, sports and entrepreneurship while preserving its rich culture and natural beauty.
Welfare of farmers, women and needy families receives a boost
Chief Minister Sai said that under the Prime Minister’s leadership, efforts to translate the principles of public welfare and Antyodaya into action have gained fresh impetus. More than 25 lakh paddy-producing farmers in the state are benefiting from paddy procurement at the rate of Rs 3,100 per quintal. The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi and Pradhan Mantri Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana are providing financial support to farmers while further strengthening agriculture and the rural economy.
The Chief Minister noted that free ration is being provided to around 73 lakh needy families in the state, while the dream of owning a pucca house has been fulfilled for more than 22 lakh poor families.
Through the Jal Jeevan Mission, tap water connections have reached more than 41 lakh rural households. Nearly 40 lakh families have received LPG connections, while approximately 2.5 crore Ayushman cards have expanded the reach of health protection. Similarly, under the Mahtari Vandan Yojana, nearly 68 lakh mothers and sisters are receiving monthly financial assistance of Rs 1,000, strengthening their financial independence and self-respect.
Modern infrastructure opening up new avenues for investment and employment
Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai has also expressed gratitude for the Prime Minister’s special attention and support towards the expansion of modern infrastructure in the state. He said the Raipur-Bilaspur four-lane road has made travel easier, while road projects connecting Chhattisgarh with major economic centres such as Visakhapatnam and Ranchi-Dhanbad are opening up new development opportunities.
He noted that railway projects worth more than Rs 51,000 crore, modern train services such as Vande Bharat and Amrit Bharat, and a network of four airports are expanding opportunities for travel, investment and employment. These projects are enabling Chhattisgarh to participate more effectively in the country's economic progress.
Chhattisgarh advances in modern technology while preserving its cultural heritage
Chief Minister Sai said that Chhattisgarh, the ‘Nanihal' of Lord Shri Ram, the sacred land of Mata Shabari and the birthplace of Sant Shiromani Guru Ghasidas Baba, possesses a rich cultural heritage that is an invaluable treasure.
\\While preserving the egalitarian traditions of the Kabir Panth, the Pandavani art of Padma Vibhushan awardee Teejan Bai, and the state's folk arts and tribal culture, Chhattisgarh is moving ahead on the path of modern development.
He said that, inspired by the Prime Minister’s IndiaAI Mission and the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), Nava Raipur is being developed as a major centre for modern technology and digital innovation. Environment-friendly industrial development is being encouraged in sectors such as steel, aluminium, IT, pharmaceuticals, textiles and energy.
Chief Minister Sai said that prestigious institutions such as AIIMS, IIT, IIM, IIIT and NIFT are providing new opportunities for higher education to the state's youth. In line with the National Education Policy, efforts are also being made to connect the younger generation with its cultural roots by promoting early education in Chhattisgarhi and local languages and dialects such as Gondi, Halbi and Surgujia.
Chhattisgarh to make a meaningful contribution to the vision of a developed India
Chief Minister Sai said that the confidence expressed by the Prime Minister in Chhattisgarh's role in the national vision of a developed India and in the state's ‘Anjor Vision’ is a special source of inspiration. In keeping with the vision of Viksit Bharat @2047, the state government has prepared a clear roadmap for building a developed Chhattisgarh.
The Chief Minister noted that, guided by the message of Sant Shiromani Guru Ghasidas Baba, ‘Manakhe-Manakhe Ek Samaan’, and the Prime Minister’s mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’, the state government is committed to ensuring that the benefits of development reach the last person in society.
Chief Minister Sai assured the Prime Minister that, with his continued guidance and the participation of three crore people of the state, the government will continue to work with complete dedication towards building the prosperous, empowered and developed Chhattisgarh envisioned by revered Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He said these efforts will make a meaningful contribution from the state towards fulfilling the larger national vision of a developed India.
Chief Minister Sai once again expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the Prime Minister’s immense affection, warm wishes and continued guidance towards Chhattisgarh. He said the Prime Minister’s affection, confidence and blessings are a constant source of inspiration and energy for the state. Under his guidance, Chhattisgarh is committed to reaching new heights of prosperity, good governance and development while playing an important role in realising the vision of a developed India.
