  Chief Minister Mr. Baghel paid tribute to Bharat Ratna Babasaheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar by garlanding his statue

 Chief Minister attends Ambedkar public birth anniversary celebrations

Raipur, TNINS 

Chief Minister Mr. Bhupesh Baghel has said that the biggest strength of the people of the country is our constitution given by Babasaheb Ambedkar.  Our constitution makes us empowered.  Chief Minister Mr. Bhupesh Baghel expressed views to this effect while addressing the public birth anniversary function organised on the occasion of the 132nd birth anniversary of Constitution maker, Bharat Ratna Baba Saheb Ambedkar in the state capital today.  Earlier, the Chief Minister paid tribute to Baba Saheb Ambedkar by garlanding his life-size statue at Ambedkar Chowk.

The Chief Minister said that on one hand the country was fighting for freedom, while on the other hand Babasaheb Ambedkar was organizing and fighting for the downtrodden society to get rights.  Babasaheb inspired the people of the backward classes of the society to struggle by being educated and organised.  Mr. Baghel said that Babasaheb realised that the biggest weakness of Indian society is education.  Referring to Indian philosophy, he said that we consider the whole world as our family. Ideologically we are very high, but our behaviour is not like that.  Human beings are discriminated against in our society, equality is not treated.  Many great men of the country including Babasaheb realised this evil of the Indian society and fought against it.  Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar fought for the rights of the downtrodden and by  becoming their voice.

Chief Minister Mr. Baghel said that legends like Baba Saheb are born once in centuries, he gave us the mantra to 'Sikshit bano, sangathit raho aur sangarsh karo'.  His thoughts inspire us to struggle and move forward.  He imbibed Lord Buddha's message of wisdom, compassion and friendship.  Today the society needs it the most.  The constitution given by Babasaheb gives us an opportunity for social, economic and political equality.  We got reservation because of the constitution.  Baba Saheb tried to bring change in the society.  Under his leadership lakhs of people took initiation of Buddhism in Nagpur.

The Chief Minister said that our government has simplified the caste certificate.  Chhattisgarh is the first state in the country where if the parents have a caste certificate, then the newborn child is given its caste certificate.  If someone does not have a record of 50 years, then arrangements have been made to make caste certificate after the resolution is passed by the Gram Sabha or the General Assembly in urban areas. On the demand of the society for land in Naya Raipur, the Chief Minister said that the land is being allotted to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes on giving 10 percent of the cost of the land and 15 percent to other classes.  He said that if the society wants to take government land, then mark the land, the land will be allotted as per the prescribed procedure.  He said that Guru Ghasidas Museum, Shaheed Veer Narayan Memorial and world class school are being built in Nava Raipur.  The Chief Minister released the book titled Tathagat Sandesh Patrika and Constitution of India in the programme.

During the program, it was informed by the organizers that according to the announcement made by Chief Minister Mr. Baghel last year on the occasion of Ambedkar Jayanti, approval has been received for the works.  On acceptance of these works, Babasaheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar public birth anniversary celebration committee expressed gratitude to the Chief Minister.  Last year, the Chief Minister had announced Rs 50 lakh for Mangal Bhavan and Rs 50 lakh for the construction of an auditorium at Devendranagar-based Buddh Vihar, installation of a new 20-feet tall statue of Babasaheb by the Municipal Corporation at Ambedkar Chowk.  All these works have been approved.

Chhattisgarh government procuring Kodo, Kutki, and Ragi at support price

Raipur TNINS 

Chhattisgarh Government has done unprecedented work in the areas of employment, self-employment, better management of local resources, and entrepreneurship development. Over the past four years, the benefits of government schemes have reached the needy people residing in rural and remote forest areas, resulting in significant benefits to the state's tribal communities and people belonging to rural, farmer, labor, and artisan categories. The result of the Chhattisgarh government's welfare policies is that every section of society in the state is becoming economically empowered and prosperous. Several significant works have been undertaken in the direction of strengthening the rights of forest dwellers and tribal people living in the forest areas of Chhattisgarh. This includes boosting their income through minor forest produce and forest-based activities.

In a first, Kodo, Kutki, and Ragi has been procured at support prices in the state. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Bhupesh Baghel, the Millet Mission is also being implemented to promote minor cereal crops. In Chhattisgarh, 74 per cent of the country's minor forest produce is collected. In the interest of the MFP collectors, the state has decided to increase the number of minor forest produce purchased at support price from 7 to 65, which is nine times more, resulting in more than a four-fold increase in the number of collectors over the past four years. In 2018-19, the number of MFP collectors was 1.5 lakh, which has now increased to 6 lahks. The quantity of minor forest produce purchased has also increased by more than 78 times, with a total of 42,000 metric tonnes purchased in 2021-22, compared to just 540 metric tonnes in 2018-19.

Among all the states in the country, Chhattisgarh has the highest participation in minor forest produce collection. This year, the state government has paid Rs 120 crore to the MFP collectors. In the last four years, nearly 13 lakh Tendupatta collectors and 06 lakh minor forest produce collectors have earned an additional annual income of Rs 250 crore as a result of the public welfare schemes of the Chhattisgarh government. Along with the collection, processing of minor forest produce is being done through 129 Van Dhan Vikas Kendras. Besides, a total of 6 C-Marts and 30 Sanjeevani Kendras have been established on the initiative of the Chief Minister for the sale of 134 herbal products under the brand name 'Chhattisgarh Herbals'. 

Chhattisgarh government has created better provisions regarding the PESA law in comparison to other states so that local self-governance can be strengthened in forest areas and people living in the forest can receive more rights. The government has made numerous efforts to increase employment and self-employment opportunities for tribals and boost their income.

Keeping in view the interest of the collectors, the collection rate for tendu leaf has been increased from Rs.2500 to Rs.4000 per standard bag. A remuneration of Rs.2146.75 crore has been paid to tendu leaf collectors and Rs 339.27 crore as incentive remuneration in 4 years. Under the Shaheed Mahendra Karma Tendupatta Sangrahak Samajik Suraksha Yojana, assistance worth Rs 71.02 crore has been provided to 4692 beneficiaries. Chhattisgarh is also the leading state in the country in the implementation of forest rights. Chhattisgarh government has given the status of agriculture to lac production and has also implemented a scheme to provide short-term loans to lac farmers, as a result of which today they are becoming financially strong.
