CM performs bhoomipujan of Bayang anicut-cum-causeway; ₹38 crore project to boost irrigation and connectivity
Solar plant and pipelines to provide irrigation across 100 hectares
Raipur : Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai today performed the bhoomipujan of the Mand river Bayang anicut-cum-causeway project worth ₹38 crore at village Bayang (Kachar) in Raigarh district. The project will help in groundwater recharge and improve local connectivity. Irrigation facilities across 100 hectares will also be provided through a solar plant and pipelines. Deputy Chief Minister Arun Sao, Finance Minister O.P. Choudhary and Women and Child Development Minister Laxmi Rajwade were present on the occasion.
Addressing villagers at the foundation-laying ceremony, CM Sai said whenever he visits Raigarh, it feels like being among his own family. “For 20 years, you blessed me by electing me as MP and sending me to Delhi. Today, as Chief Minister, I have come back to meet my family here,” he said. Highlighting the state government’s achievements, he noted that in the past 20 months, several welfare measures under ‘Modi ki Guarantee’ have been implemented. These include paddy procurement at ₹3,100 per quintal, monthly assistance of ₹1,000 to 70 lakh women under the Mahatari Vandan Yojana, distribution of footwear (Charan Paduka) to tendu leaf collectors, paddy bonuses for farmers, and annual financial aid of ₹10,000 to 5.62 lakh landless agricultural labourers.
The CM further said that the country’s Prime Minister had assured that those who played with the future of Chhattisgarh’s youth would not be spared. “Today, the youth of the state are seeing that those involved in the PSC examination scam are in jail, and others are preparing to go behind bars. In our government, schemes like the RamLala Darshan Yojana for devotees and pilgrimage tours for the elderly have been launched,” he added.
Deputy CM Arun Sao described the bhoomipujan of the anicut as a historic occasion for Bayang (Kachar). He said, “We fulfilled the promises we made. Today, houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana are being built in every village. Women are receiving Mahatari Vandan assistance on time every month. Under the good governance of Vishnu Deo Sai and the double-engine government, development work is progressing rapidly.”
Finance Minister O.P. Choudhary, addressing the gathering, said that CM Sai, who has represented Raigarh in Parliament for the past 20 years, is like a family member for every village. “During his tenure as MP, hardly any village was left unseen by him. It has been just 20 months since our government was formed in Chhattisgarh, and during this period, several initiatives have been completed. Farmers are receiving paddy procurement at ₹3,100 per quintal, pending bonuses of two years have been paid, and landless labourers are getting ₹10,000 every year. Under the PM Awas Yojana, houses are being built in every village. Even masons and centering plates are in short supply due to the pace of construction. In Kachar alone, more than 180 PM Awas houses have been sanctioned,” he said.
Women and Child Development Minister Laxmi Rajwade said that under CM Vishnu Deo Sai’s leadership, Chhattisgarh is scripting a new chapter of development. “Our mothers and sisters are moving ahead in every field and are becoming economically and socially empowered. For the farmers of Gram Panchayat Kachar, today is a historic day as the construction of the anicut will enhance agricultural facilities. The people of Chhattisgarh are witnessing how, under CM Vishnu Deo Sai’s good governance, all promises are being fulfilled and schemes are being implemented that are ensuring continuous progress of the state,” she said.
The event was also attended by District Panchayat Chairperson Shikha Ravindra Gabel, Janpad Panchayat Chairperson Sujata Sukhlal Chauhan, Janpad Panchayat member Gangabai Patel, Bayang Sarpanch Gaurishankar Sidar, along with a large number of villagers.
