A game-changer for Chhattisgarh’s tribal belts unfolded in Baikunthpur as CM Vishnu Deo Sai-led Surguja Tribal Development Authority approved ₹50 crore for 543 projects. The meeting scrutinized ongoing developments in Surguja districts and okayed novel plans per local feedback.
Surguja and Bastar top the agenda as the government bridges forest isolates to progress via the authority. FY 2025-26 budget of ₹50 crore was nodded through. 543 ventures bagged ₹49.05 crore based on rep proposals; 606 from last year formalized.
‘Finish on time, excel in quality; pendings by March,’ Sai mandated. Zero tolerance for lapses in essentials like water, with summer provisions stressed. Sonhat’s PM Janman electrification gathers pace.
Orders flew for solar high-masts, agri aids, bill fixes, shoddy-work crackdowns. Recalling Mayali’s post-meet tourism boom—Guinness Shivling, Swadesh Darshan cash—Sai predicted Baikunthpur’s parallel rise.
Cabinet heavyweights present: Ministers Netam, Sai, Baghel, Jaiswal, Rajwade, Agarwal, Yadav, Devangan; MP Maharaj; MLAs; brass; reps. Surguja’s renaissance accelerates, heralding equity and opportunity.
