Prime Minister Narendra Modi today praised Chhattisgarh’s Godhan Nyay Yojana in the 7th Governing Council meeting of NITI Aayog, saying that the scheme is in the interest of the farmers as vermi-compost prepared from cowdung helps in increasing the productivity of the field.

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, who attended the meeting, elaborated on the scheme and added that the state government has also started procuring cow urine to produce natural fertilizers.

He suggested that agricultural research institutes should be given the responsibility of providing free seeds of newly developed crop varieties, mini kits and breeder seeds on a large scale to ensure crop diversification and increase in the production and productivity of pulses, oilseeds.

Addressing the meeting of the seventh Governing Council of NITI Aayog here under the chairmanship of the Prime Minister, the chief minister said Chhattisgarh is self-sufficient in the production of food grains and has taken many innovative measures to increase the production of pulses and oilseeds in the state.

Elaborating on the steps being taken by the Chhattisgarh government, he said to promote crop diversification the state government has started implementation of Mukhyamantri Vriksharopan Protsaahan Yojana, under which a provision has been made to provide Rs 10,000 per hectare to farmers who cultivate pulses, oilseeds or do plantation instead of paddy. Along with Rajiv Gandhi Kisan Nyay Yojana, Chhattisgarh Millet Mission has also been constituted.

The chief minister said that NITI Aayog has appreciated the better performance of the aspirational districts of the state in the last three and a half years. But there are still resource problems in the state, which should be resolved. He also urged for relaxation under Forest Conservation Act in setting up of 5 MW solar power plants in 10 aspirational districts of Chhattisgarh.

Regarding the implementation of the National Education Policy, the Chief Minister said that many important steps have been taken in this direction in the state. With the objective of providing good quality infrastructure, equipment, educational and co-curricular activities in the government schools, the state government has started Swami Atmanand Excellent English Medium Schools in Chhattisgarh.

While speaking on the agenda of urban administration, the chief minister said that Chhattisgarh has won the state clean survey for three consecutive years. Better work has been done in solid waste management in the urban areas of the state.

He also suggested that MGNREGA should be implemented in rural areas located near cities and cities with population less than 20 thousand. In addition to the agenda points related to the meeting, the Chief Minister also spoke on various schemes and topics related to the state interest.

Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel also reiterated the state’s demand of GST compensation, transferring of the amounts collected as 'additional levy' from coal block companies and reimbursement of expenditure of Rs 11 thousand 828 crores made by the state government for eradication of Naxalism.

The chief minister said that there has been a loss of revenue to the states due to the GST tax system, the Center has not made arrangements to compensate the loss of revenue of about Rs 5000 crores to the state in the coming year, so the GST compensation grant should be continued for the next 5 years even after June 2022.

He said Chhattisgarh has received less shares of central taxes by Rs 13,089 crore in the Union Budget of the last three years, resulting in extreme pressure on the resources of the state. In the coming budget, the share of central taxes should be given to the state completely.

He also demanded that Rs 4,140 crore deposited with the center at the rate of Rs 294 per tonne on coal mining from coal block companies should be transferred to Chhattisgarh soon. Mentioning that about 65 per cent of the mineral revenue of the state is the source of iron ore mines operating in the state. Therefore, revision of royalty rates is necessary in the financial interest of the state. He requested for revision in the rates of royalty for coal and other major minerals.

He also requested for speedy action on other pending demands of the state government including refund of deposits in New Pension Scheme and ensuring availability of jute gunny bags.

First-of-its-kind use of Agri Ambulance and Agriculture Drone in the country, Chief Minister praised the idea

He said that government will give full support to technological-driven farming

TNIS

Under the leadership of Chief Minister Mr.Bhupesh Baghel, the Chhattisgarh government is working on the adoption of technological-driven farming, which has opened the doors of opportunities for new possibilities in the field of agriculture development.

The medicine can be sprayed within half an hour on 4 acres of fields using agriculture drones. The amount of medicine that is needed can also be determined through the machine. Usually, a farmer takes 3 hours for spraying medicine on 1 acre of land. There is also a problem of availability of labour for spraying in rural areas. Using this method, the farmers can save time and can also increase their income. Agri Ambulance will provide the facility of Agriculture Lab which will be able to do site testing.

The people associated with the project told him that drone technology would add many facilities for the development of farming. It is noteworthy that the project will work on the PPP model. Only one machine can be used for 20 villages and this can be used by any working group. Only the youth of the group will be trained to operate the drone. He praised this innovation and said that the techniques of farming that we have learned from our ancestors and adding modern techniques to it, we can reach new heights in farming. He instructed to continue such innovations to promote technology-driven farming. Agri Ambulance will also work to provide organic manure.

Religious fervor fills the air as the state prep-up to celebrate ‘Hareli Tihar’ with great pomp and show

Raipur, (TNIS )

The present state government in Chhattisgarh led by Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has undertaken an initiative to celebrate state’s popular festivals like ‘Hareli’, ‘Teeja-Pora’, and ‘Chher-Chhera’ on a grand scale. For the last 3.5 years, these festivals are being celebrated with much fanfare in a bid to connect people with the rich tradition and culture of Chhattisgarh. In a first, the state government has declared a public holiday on this festival so that people can join the celebrations.

Hareli, which is considered to be the first festival of Chhattisgarh marks the beginning of Shravan month. This traditional farm festival has a special significance for the farmers, who celebrate the festival with great pomp and show worshipping their farm equipment and cow. As Chhattisgarh gears up for the celebrations of the state’s indigenous festival ‘Hareli Tihar’, the state government has made elaborate arrangements to celebrate the festival on a grand scale just like past three years.

“Chhattisgarh is a state with rich culture, tradition and customs which are unique. It is the need of hour to raise cultural awareness of local traditions in youth by celebrating our state's festivals with great zeal and enthusiasm. We must feel proud about our state’s cultural legacy and celebrate ‘Hareli’ with great fervor”, said Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel.

Procurement of ‘gau-mutra’ to begin from ‘Hareli’ this year

On this auspicious occasion, the state government is all set to expand the scope of one of its flagship schemes—Godhan Nyay Yojana and begin procurement of ‘gau-mutra’ (cow urine) in the state. The move aims to promote organic farming and boost income of cattle rearers and women groups, thereby strengthening the rural economy of state. The procured cow urine will be used to prepare ‘Jeevamrit’ (organic liquid fertilizer) and pest control products by local women Self-Help Groups. Meanwhile, chief minister has launched Godhan Nyay Yojana in the year 2020 on the occasion of Hareli, which has become exemplary for other states due to its success in just 2 years.

Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel will launch this initiative from village Karsa in Patan block of Durg district on July 28. Besides, the latest agricultural equipment will also be launched at the agricultural conference to be organized here. One such piece of equipment includes a drone through which the appropriate amount of fertilizer and insecticide can be sprayed in a very short span of time.

Livestock owners in rural areas will now be able to sell cow urine at the rate of Rs 4 per liter. This expansion of Godhan Nyay Yojana would provide a major financial boost to the cow breeders and livestock owners of the state. Procurement of Gaumutra along with dung under Godhan Nyay Yojana would further enhance the work of livestock development in the state. Experts believe that farmers can double their income by coupling the agricultural practices with animal husbandry.

Besides Kisaan Sammelan, an agriculture exhibition will also be held on the occasion.

On the occasion of Hareli, Chief Minister Mr. Baghel will reach the place of worship in a bullock cart. Mr. Baghel will worship Gaumata and also the agricultural equipment and tools, as per the customary rituals. He will cut hay with the machine and feed it to the cows.

His participation in Hareli festivities played an important role in creating awareness about the folk festivals of Chhattisgarh.

New agricultural equipment will be launched

Mr. Baghel will also discuss various farming related topics and issues with the farmers on the occasion.

Reason Behind the Procurement of Gaumutra

Chhattisgarh Government is continuously working to promote organic farming in the state. And to promote organic farmic, it is important that the practices of cattle breeding and animal husbandry are made profitable for the farmers. In the same sequence, cow-dung procurement under Godhan Nyay Yojana is being utilized for a large-scale production of organic manure in the state. And now, with the procurement of Gaumutra, farmers and cattle-rearers will have another source of additional income.
