Along with the approval of Prime Minister’s residence to more than 18 lakh eligible families of the state included in Modi ji’s guarantees, two years’ outstanding bonus amount of Rs 3716 crore has been paid to the farmers in their accounts.
Our government is also going to start Mahtari Vandan Yojana from March 1. Currently applications are being received from female sisters. Under this scheme, an amount of Rs 1,000 per month will be sent directly to the bank accounts of eligible women sisters.
The Chief Minister said that Chhattisgarh is the maternal birthplace of Lord Shri Ram. Chhattisgarh is the state where Lord Shri Ram spent most of his exile period and created his army. The people of the forest tribe were the clan of Lord Shri Ram.
The Chief Minister further said that Lord Shri Ram’s affection for the people of this region and Mata Shabari’s pure love and intimacy towards Lord Shri Ram are the invaluable assets of Chhattisgarh.

Fulfilling the guarantee of the Prime Minister, our government has now issued an order to give remuneration of Rs 5500 per standard bag to tendu leaf collectors.
Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai congratulated and congratulated Gondwana Mahasabha for the initiative of installing the statue of freedom fighter and social reformer tribal leader Birsa Munda. Tribal leader Birsa Munda was born in Banga village of Jharkhand.
