Decisions of the Council of Ministers
Several important decisions were taken at the Cabinet meeting held today at the Ministry Mahanadi Bhawan under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai:
1) The Council of Ministers decided to procure pulses and oilseeds during the Kharif and Rabi marketing seasons under the “Pradhan Mantri Annadata Aay Sanrakshan Abhiyaan” Price Support Scheme (PSS), as in previous years. It is noteworthy that under the Pradhan Mantri Annadata Aay Sanrakshan Abhiyaan, arhar, mung bean, urad, groundnut, and soybean are procured at the support price during the Kharif marketing season, and pulses and oilseeds such as gram, mustard, and lentils during the Rabi season are procured at the support price. The system of procurement of pulses and oilseeds at the support price in the state’s markets maintains competition in the market, which increases the possibility of farmers receiving better prices for their produce.
2) The Council of Ministers made an important decision to amend the Chhattisgarh Government Work (Allocation) Rules and merge the Public Enterprises Department with the Commerce and Industry Department and the Twenty Point Implementation Department with the Planning, Economics and Statistics Department. This decision is another important step towards promoting good governance in government work. Its objective is to ensure the implementation of “Minimum Government Maximum Governance.”
3) In order to ensure smooth functioning of the paddy procurement system at the support price in the state, the Council of Ministers decided to revalidate the government guarantee of Rs. 15 thousand crore approved for the banks and financial institutions for procurement of paddy at the support price for the Kharif marketing year 2024-25 for the Kharif marketing year 2025-26 and also decided to provide an additional government guarantee amount of Rs. 11,200 crore to the Marketing Federation.
4) The Council of Ministers granted permission for sale by incorporating the following additional provisions for eligibility in the previously issued rules and conditions for the state-sponsored Deendayal Housing Scheme, Atal Housing Scheme, Atal Vihar Scheme and Nava Raipur Chief Minister Housing Scheme.
a) After three advertisements for the sale of EWS and LIG buildings and flats, unsold buildings may be sold to beneficiaries from any income group other than the eligible beneficiary, but such beneficiaries will not be eligible for government-approved grants. Only beneficiaries from the specified income group will be eligible for grants.
b) After three advertisements for the sale of EWS and LIG buildings and flats, if a single individual, government/semi-government, or private organization offers to purchase multiple properties (bulk purchase), multiple buildings may be sold in the name of the single individual, government/semi-government, or private organization as per demand, but they will not be eligible for government-approved grants. Wide publicity of this decision will be ensured so that maximum beneficiaries can benefit from it.
5) An important decision was made to lease the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in Nava Raipur Atal Nagar to the Chhattisgarh State Cricket Association for long-term full-fledged operation and development, as per the contract. This decision will provide the state’s budding cricket players with access to high-level training and technical facilities. This decision will ensure the hosting of more national and international cricket matches in Chhattisgarh.
