Raipur, May 04: Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai continued his surprise inspection of remote villages for the second consecutive day on Monday, reaching Kamrakhol in Lokhan Panchayat of Kabirdham district. In a gesture of grassroots connect, the Chief Minister held an informal \u2018Chaupal\u2019 (village assembly) under the shade of mango trees to interact with the local Baiga tribal community and review progress of the PM Janman Yojana.
Chief Minister Sai expressed immense satisfaction upon meeting several women who have attained \u2018Lakhpati Didi\u2019 status through various self-employment schemes. Observing a large number of hands raised when he enquired about their earnings, the CM encouraged them to work harder to transition from \u2018Lakhpati\u2019 to \u2018Crorepati.\u2019
Among the success stories was Kachra Telgam from Kukdur, who presented the Chief Minister with forest produce including Mahua and Char. Telgam, who earns \u20b980,000 annually by providing centering plates for PM Aawas construction, even offered to cook Mahua laddoos for the CM. Similarly, Rajmat Bai Dhurve, a materials supplier for housing projects, reported an annual profit of \u20b92.50 lakh to \u20b93 lakh, while Pashu Sakhi Shivrani Patel shared how a loan from the Bishan Yojana helped her earn \u20b91.50 lakh annually through vegetable farming.
The Chaupal also witnessed a heartwarming personal moment when a local resident, Mrs Rishi Baghel, requested the Chief Minister to name her newborn son. CM Sai took the infant in his arms and, learning the child was born on a Sunday, named him \u2018Ravishankar Baghel.\u2019 He also presented the child with a gift of \u20b9500 as a blessing, a gesture matched by Pandariya MLA Bhavna Bohra.
Academic excellence was also recognised during the assembly. The CM interacted with Rajendra Masram, who secured the 9th rank in the district with 94.5% in his High School exams. Upon hearing the boy’s dream of becoming an IAS officer, the CM gifted him a pen and offered his best wishes. He also encouraged Hem Kumari, a Class 9 student from the Baiga colony who scored 75%, urging her to continue her studies with dedication.
Responding to local grievances and requirements, Chief Minister Sai announced several development projects for Kamrakhol. These include the deepening of Mission Talab (equipped with a tube well), a 6-km murrum road connecting Ramkhilavan\u2019s residence to Devsara village, a community hall, a Muktidham shed, and a \u2018Mahtari Sadan\u2019 for self-help groups.
The Chief Minister was accompanied by Principal Secretary Mr Subodh Kumar, Special Secretary Mr Rajat Bansal, Collector Mr Gopal Verma, and SP Mr Dharmendra Singh during the visit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
