Raipur, Oct 07: Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Wednesday announced the construction of ‘Sewa Jyoti Sankalp Chowk’ across 38 locations, including all district headquarters, to mark the completion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 25 years in public service as head of government.

Addressing the ‘Viksit Bharat Sankalp Sabha’ at Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Chief Minister Sai declared that Telibandha Chowk in the state capital would also be developed into a Sewa Jyoti Sankalp Chowk. These landmarks will symbolise public service and national development, inspiring future generations to contribute toward a developed India.

Following the address, the Chief Minister led the ‘Sewa Jyoti Yatra’ carrying a torch and flagged off a major bike rally from the university campus to Telibandha Chowk, accompanied by local representatives and young participants.

Highlighting PM Modi’s governance journey that began on 7 October 2001 as the Chief Minister of Gujarat, Sai stated that 25 years of uninterrupted service reflect dedication to good governance and public welfare. He emphasized that under the leadership of the ‘Pradhan Sevak’, the nation continues to work on the core philosophy of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas’.

Referring to the month-long ‘Sewa Sankalp Abhiyan’ running from 17 September to 17 October, the Chief Minister noted that over 1.5 crore ‘Aashirwad ke Diye’ were lit across the state to inaugurate the campaign. Various initiatives focusing on cleanliness, environmental protection, and social welfare are being carried out across Chhattisgarh.

Aligning state goals with national vision, Sai outlined ‘Chhattisgarh Anjor Vision @2047’ to drive systematic, inclusive growth. He reiterated that achieving a ‘Viksit Chhattisgarh’ is an essential prerequisite for fulfilling the goal of ‘Viksit Bharat’.

Recalling his recent official visit to Singapore for the ‘Singapore-India Network for Growth (SING) Forum-2026’, where Chhattisgarh and Haryana represented India, Chief Minister Sai mentioned having fruitful discussions with global business leaders, investors, and industrial federations to attract foreign investment and technological collaboration.
