Chhattisgarh CM Vishnu Dev Sai meets PM Modi on Bastar development
Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Parliament building to present a comprehensive roadmap for the development of Bastar. He asked for swift approval of a proposed Rs 10,500 crore gas‑based urea plant in Rajnandgaon, central assistance to connect 461 villages that currently lack grid electricity, and the creation of an All India Institute of Ayurveda in Raipur or Bastar. The chief minister said the initiatives under the "Bastar Vision" have reached 5,542 villages and benefitted roughly 3.9 million people, with 421 schools reopened, new education‑city projects, and a health campaign that has screened over 3.4 million residents and supported a super‑speciality hospital in Jagdalpur and a new railway line costing Rs 3,513 crore.
President Droupadi Murmu later hosted a 209‑member Bastar delegation at Rashtrapati Bhavan, personally served meals, presented the traditional "Jhitu‑Mitki" crafts, and announced her participation in the upcoming Bastar Dussehra celebrations, highlighting the region's cultural significance.
