Shivraj Singh Chouhan
and Chief Minister
Vishnu Deo Sai
on Tuesday convened a review meeting to assess the initiatives and programs of the Panchayat and Agriculture Department.
During a joint press conference with CM Vishnu Deo Sai, Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said, " Today, I am happy that under the leadership of PM Modi, we have fulfilled the promise of providing housing to eligible beneficiaries in the state...After the formation of the government, we allocated over 8 lakh houses in
Chhattisgarh
...In the last government, there was a state scheme to provide houses, but the houses were left half-constructed. I appreciate CM Vishnu Deo Sai for completing the construction of these houses. We have started a new survey for the construction of new houses."
Meanwhile, the Chhattisgarh government's "Samadhan Shivir" initiative has achieved significant success in
Bastar
district, resolving 85% of cases on the spot. The program, which was organised in 13-14 Gram Panchayats of Jagdalpur district, saw over 4,000 applications being addressed, with most cases related to the
Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana
(PMAY).
The Samadhan Shivir initiative is a testament to the government's commitment to improving public services and addressing the needs of its citizens.
Earlier on May 6, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister reviewed the progress of the Samadhan camps in Kawardha town, a municipality in Kabirdham district, a initiative aimed at addressing public grievances and providing solutions to various problems faced by the people.
CM Vishnu Deo Sai while interacting with people, inquired whether government schemes are reaching them effectively. The CM's efforts aim to ensure that the benefits of government initiatives are reaching the intended beneficiaries and to identify areas that require further attention.

Nitish's temple tango
On the humid morning of August 8 in Sitamarhi, ritual and pomp both arrived as if by appointment. A bhoomi pujan, a foundation stone, cameras arranging the moment into the traffic of images. Nitish Kumar spoke of Sita's birthplace, with no seeming trace of irony. His words bore echoes in their womb, and they were delivered right after, by Union home minister Amit Shah. He lauded 'Nitish babu' for developing Punaura Dham, before moving on to sharper polemic—accusing political rivals of protecting alleged Bangladeshi infiltrators. With two months to go for the Bihar assembly election, the NDA's thematic duet was in full sync.
