He said that people living in remote areas and Special Backward Tribes (PVTGs) need development the most. The Government of India has started the Pradhan Mantri Janman Yojana after understanding this deeply. Housing, drinking water, electricity, roads and other basic facilities are reaching remote forest areas through this scheme. With programs like Dharti Aba Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan, in which 6661 villages of Chhattisgarh are also included, the light of development is reaching remote villages in accordance with the visionary thinking of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that the villages included in the aspirational districts and development blocks of the Central Government in the state are progressing rapidly. Deputy Chief Minister Arun Saw said in his address that work has started in the aspirational districts in the country since the year 2018. Work is being done to bring the backward districts and development blocks forward in the race of development. Under this, human indices are being improved by working in different sectors in the villages included in it. They are being brought to the level of saturation. He hoped that the development and welfare of each individual will pave the way for a developed Chhattisgarh and a developed India.
Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma said in the ceremony that apart from physical progress, work is being done to improve human indices in aspiring districts and development blocks. Work is being done on important indicators to saturate them by setting targets, which generally do not get much attention. I wish all the districts and development blocks for even better work in the aspiring districts and development blocks of the state.
