Presenting his development blueprint at the 11th meeting of the NITI Aayog Governing Council chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the national capital, the chief minister stated that the region is transitioning into a model of sustainable growth and rapid employment generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A core pillar of the state&#8217;s strategy is a targeted action plan to double the income of local tribal families, aiming to secure a monthly household income of \u20b930,000 within the next three years. This economic turnaround relies heavily on expanding dairy farming through an integrated white revolution initiative, strengthening traditional forest-based livelihoods, and executing large-scale irrigation projects worth over \u20b92,000 crore to bring 32,000 hectares under assured irrigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chief minister highlighted a significant shift in regional security and grass-roots governance, explaining that approximately 200 forward security camps in Bastar are being converted into &#8216;Seva Deras&#8217; (service hubs). These centers provide remote tribal villages direct, single-window access to 371 central and state government welfare schemes covering healthcare, banking, and pensions. To bridge the rural medical divide, the state is also generating digital health profiles for nearly 36 lakh citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With tourism identified as a primary employment driver, the state government is actively developing Chitrakot and Sirpur into world-class tourist destinations through specialized cultural infrastructure and adventure tourism frameworks. To further stimulate the industrial ecosystem, the administration has implemented 435 separate governance reforms, reinforced the single-window clearance mechanism, and is moving to establish two semiconductor manufacturing units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The state is also deploying targeted missions focusing on artificial intelligence, startups, and infrastructure. Educational initiatives including AgriStack, PM SHRI schools, smart classrooms, and dedicated Education Cities in the remote Abujhmad and Jagargunda sectors are being fast-tracked to build a digitally empowered local workforce. The chief minister added that aligning local industrial output with the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative and the One District-One Product (ODOP) scheme has successfully boosted regional exports, opening up global commercial pipelines for traditional artisans and tribal entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi\/Raipur, June 12: Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Thursday outlined a comprehensive vision to transform the Left-wing extremism-affected Bastar region into a Naxalism-free, economically vibrant zone driven [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2766,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chhattisgarh","category-display","has_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2765"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2765\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2767,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2765\/revisions\/2767"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
