The Chhattisgarh cabinet passed a resolution on Sunday congratulating Prime Minister Narendra Modi on completing 25 years as head of government. Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, who chaired the meeting at his official residence in Civil Lines, said the milestone reflected an extraordinary journey guided by nation‑first principles, public service, good governance and the welfare of the poor.
Sai highlighted Modi’s impact on India’s global standing, noting the country’s expanded diplomatic influence through its G20 presidency, active role in BRICS, the initiative to secure permanent membership for the African Union in the G20 and efforts to strengthen the voice of the Global South. He also cited the 36 countries that have conferred their highest civilian honours on Modi, underscoring the Prime Minister’s international stature.
The state’s government has prepared a roadmap titled “Chhattisgarh Anjor Vision 2047” to contribute to Modi’s vision of a developed India by 2047. Sai pointed to initiatives such as the International Solar Alliance, International Yoga Day and the International Year of Millets, which have benefited Chhattisgarh, and noted that the state had adopted governance practices from the Gujarat model introduced during Modi’s tenure as chief minister of that state.
Under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, 20.65 lakh rural and 2.25 lakh urban houses have been completed, with 11.78 lakh built in the last three years, giving Chhattisgarh first rank in construction pace. The PM‑Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme has directly benefited 26.57 lakh farmers. The centre increased the state’s share in central taxes from 32 % to 42 %, and Chhattisgarh received Rs 3,46,806 crore over the past 12 years, 7.4 times the amount received during 2004‑2014.
Sai also praised the decisive end to the Naxal menace on 31 March 2026, achieved through coordinated efforts by the centre and state governments and the courage of security personnel, and noted that Chhattisgarh received Rs 2,080 crore in special central assistance for eliminating Naxalism. The cabinet approved recruitment of former Agniveers for 36 constable vacancies, with a 10 % category‑wise reservation, and amended the name of the Tribal Development Department to the Tribal Affairs Department.
