Raipur: Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai attended the oath-taking ceremony of the Chhattisgarh Sarv Ravidas Samaj held at the Krishak Auditorium of Indira Gandhi Agricultural University in Raipur on December 7. The Chief Minister administered the oath to all newly elected office-bearers and conveyed his best wishes. Addressing the program, he stated that education is a foundation of social development. Whether it is the art of living, trade, agriculture or any other field, the first step towards success in every sector begins with education.
Chief Minister Shri Sai stated that the State Government is making efforts to improve the quality of education. At the time of state formation, there was only one medical college; today, nearly fifteen medical colleges operate across the state. Similarly, with the establishment of national and international institutions such as IIT, IIIT, IIM, Law University, AIIMS and CIPET in Chhattisgarh, local youth have gained significant opportunities for growth.
The Chief Minister stated that it is essential for society to remain strong and organised, as only an organised society can play a decisive role in nation-building. Referring to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s guiding mantra — “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas aur Sabka Prayas” — he stated that the State Government has been working for the welfare of all sections of society for the past twenty-three months, following these core principles.
He stated that in the past months, the State Government has taken several significant steps, including the Krishak Unnati Yojana for farmers, the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana to provide houses for every family, the Mahtari Vandan Yojana for the economic security of the state’s women, and teacher rationalisation to ensure the availability of teachers in remote regions.
Chief Minister Shri Sai stated that more than 10,000 youths have already received appointment letters across various departments. He added that the examinations conducted by the Chhattisgarh Public Service Commission have been held with complete fairness, which has instilled genuine confidence in the youth. He also stated that, in view of the current scenario, the State Government has implemented a new industrial policy to provide greater opportunities, employment, and self-employment for local people.
The Chief Minister urged community members to take full advantage of government schemes and bring about positive changes in their lives.
The programme was also addressed by the Chairman of the Chhattisgarh Leather Craftsmen Development Board, Shri Dhruv Kumar Mirdha, who congratulated the newly elected office-bearers.
