The Government of Chhattisgarh is building a confident, future-ready state through policies that place citizens at the centre of governance. Drawing from its cultural heritage and natural wealth, the state is steadily transforming potential into performance. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, Chhattisgarh is advancing on a path that balances growth with inclusion and development with social equity.
Infrastructure, digital governance and service delivery have become visible engines of change. Roads, rail networks and urban systems are expanding, while technology is simplifying access to public services. Panchayats and district offices are now better equipped to deliver faster, more transparent governance.
The state’s long-term framework, Anjor Vision @2047, aligns Chhattisgarh with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a Viksit Bharat by 2047, with emphasis on sustainable growth, employment and youth empowerment. Industry is being strengthened through the Industrial Development Policy (2024–30), focused on investment promotion, job creation and ease of doing business.
Agriculture remains central to the economic strategy. Paddy procurement at ₹3,100 per quintal with assured purchase of 21 quintals per acre has strengthened farm incomes. Over ₹3,716 crore in pending bonus payments has reached more than 12 lakh farmers, while PM Kisan Samman Nidhi supports over 26 lakh farmers.
Social development is moving at scale. Under PM Awas Yojana, over 26 lakh homes have been approved. The Jal Jeevan Mission has delivered tap water to 40.72 lakh households, and nearly 60,000 families have benefited under PM-Janman. Women’s empowerment is advancing through Mahtari Vandan Yojana, reaching over 70 lakh women.
Employment schemes such as Udyam Kranti and support for landless workers are strengthening livelihoods, while transparent PSC recruitments are restoring youth confidence.
With over 350 administrative reforms, governance is faster, simpler and more accountable. Chhattisgarh today is building not just growth, but trust. Its goal is clear: services that deliver, development that includes, and governance that works for every citizen.
