Raipur 29 February 2024// Demonstrating the state government’s commitment to the welfare of residents in remote areas, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai distributed solar home lighting systems to 50 students from small hamlets in Konta block of Sukma district. The distribution took place at the Swami Vivekananda Airport premises in Raipur on Thursday, aiming to empower these children and pave the way for their brighter future.
Addressing the students, Chief Minister Sai stressed the government’s dedication to ensuring a bright future for children. He stated, “It is the effort of our government to ensure that the future of children is bright.

In keeping with this spirit, we have launched Niyad Nella Naar – Apka Accha Gaon Yojana, aiming to ensure that the benefits of welfare schemes reach tribal communities.”
Chief Minister Sai highlighted the government’s goal of providing essential amenities including roads, electricity, water, housing, and healthcare facilities in Bastar.
