As the Sai government’s third such document, it arrives amid high stakes for accelerating growth, strengthening foundations, and ensuring inclusive benefits statewide.
Initiated on February 23 via advisory meetings, the session underscores the budget’s role in harmonizing security with development, in tune with PM Modi and Amit Shah’s directives. Bastar region’s transformation takes center stage, with projected investments in roadways, digital links, schooling, medical facilities, and income generation.
Forward-looking elements include nurturing startups, empowering MSMEs, generating jobs for the young, and positioning Raipur as a modern metropolis. Rural revitalization through localized panchayat projects promises to uplift agrarian bases.
Core themes encompass superior administration, industrial influx, and refined welfare mechanisms for the needy. On X, CM Vishnu Dev Sai positioned it as the bedrock for a ‘developed Chhattisgarh,’ tying into national self-reliance goals by 2047.
With spotlight on farmers, poor, youth, mothers, and Adivasis, the budget is expected to fortify governance-led prosperity pathways. Sai’s optimism points to it becoming a landmark for provincial advancement.
Precedents include last year’s Rs 1.65 lakh crore allocation, a jump from Rs 1.47 lakh crore. The assembly calendar includes February 25-27 deliberations, a break from February 28 to March 8, and closure on March 20. This fiscal plan could redefine Chhattisgarh’s developmental landscape.
