We have procured paddy from farmers at Rs 3100 per quintal and 21 quintals per acre, cleared pending paddy bonuses spanning two years for 13 lakh farmers, and are providing financial assistance of Rs 1000 per month and Rs 12000 annually to over 70 lakh women under the Mahtari Vandan Yojana. Besides, we increased the tendupatta collection rate from Rs 4000 to Rs 5500 per standard bag. Similarly, several other important decisions have been made.”
He affirmed, “We are committed to realizing the vision our ancestors had for Chhattisgarh. Endowed with abundant mineral wealth including coal, iron, bauxite, gold, and diamonds, our state’s mineral resources are a significant asset. The diverse forest produce enhances the state’s natural beauty, and through its value addition, we aim to economically empower our forest dwellers.”
