Raipur, 13 July 2025 l Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai attended the National Executive Meeting of All India Vaishnav Brahmin Seva Sangh (Chatur Sampradaya), Mumbai organized in the capital Raipur today. The Chief Minister said that it is a matter of good fortune for all of us that the National Convention of Vaishnav Brahmin Samaj is being organized in Chhattisgarh, the maternal home of Lord Shri Ram and the holy land of Mother Kaushalya. He said that the history of Vaishnav Brahmin Samaj has been very glorious. The eminent personalities of this society have set amazing examples of charity in Chhattisgarh. The contribution of Vaishnav Brahmin Samaj will be very important in the creation of developed Chhattisgarh. On this occasion, the Chief Minister also honored the talented persons of the society who made outstanding contributions in various fields.
Chief Minister Sai, while addressing the gathering, said that the Vaishnav Brahmin Samaj has played a historic role in strengthening the Sanatan Dharma. This society has been active not only in priestly work but also in governance and administration. Introducing a great tradition of charity, this society even donated their kingdom. The Vaishnav Brahmin kingdom of Rajnandgaon is a unique example of this.
Chief Minister Sai said that within one and a half years, we have implemented and fulfilled most of the guarantees of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Chhattisgarh has been the maternal home of Lord Shri Ram and he spent a long time of his exile here. Our government has started the Ramlala Darshan Yojana, under which so far more than 22 thousand devotees have visited Lord Shri Ramlala in Ayodhya. The Chief Minister’s Tirth Yatra Yojana has also been restarted, under which all citizens above 60 years of age will be able to visit pilgrimage sites according to their faith. There is no maximum age limit in this scheme for Divyangjans, widows and abandoned women.
The Chief Minister said that a resolution has been taken to develop India under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi by the year 2047. In the same direction, we have to move forward in the creation of developed Chhattisgarh. Active participation of Vaishnav Brahmin society is expected in this work. He expressed hope that the society will move towards continuous progress by remaining united.
While addressing the programme, Vidhan Sabha Speaker Dr. Raman Singh said that the Vaishnav Brahmin Samaj is a farsighted and imaginative society. He said that while working as MLA, MP, Union Minister and Chief Minister from Rajnandgaon, he has closely seen the historical contribution of this society. The royal family of Rajnandgaon has made an unprecedented contribution in the development of higher education, railways, industry and drinking water system. Mahant Digvijay Das ji donated his palace for the college, gave vast land for the railways, and established BNC Cotton Mill, which provided employment to thousands of people. Mahant Ghasidas ji had announced to give free land to encourage business.
Deputy Chief Minister Arun Sao said in his address that the Vaishnav Brahmin Samaj is the flag bearer of Sanatan Dharma. By organizing this national executive meeting, the society will move forward in a more united manner.
