Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, a seasoned leader in agriculture and rural development, is set to descend on Chhattisgarh this Saturday, January 31, for an action-packed day of farmer interactions and policy reviews. The visit signals New Delhi’s hands-on approach to grassroots empowerment.
Touching down in Raipur, Chouhan heads straight to Durg’s Girhola and Khapri villages for immersive farm tours and plantation events. Face-to-face dialogues will spotlight flagship programs—PM Kisan’s financial aid, RKVY for development, natural and organic farming pushes, and PMKSY’s efficient irrigation—to drive adoption among local growers.
In the afternoon, Kumhari hosts a mega farmers’ mela by the Chhattisgarh Youth Progressive Farmers Association. Chouhan will share blueprints for income enhancement through tech-savvy farming, diverse cropping, FPOs, digital tools, and NRLM’s livelihood models.
No stone unturned: He’ll elaborate on PM Kisan’s direct payouts, PMFBY’s disaster shields, digital agri-missions, drone applications, PMAY-G for homes, PMGSY roads, and NRLM’s women-led enterprises. These are the building blocks for resilient villages and thriving farmers nationwide.
Evening brings a pivotal summit at Naya Raipur’s Mahanadi Bhawan with CM Vishnu Dev Sai and state brass. They’ll dissect scheme implementations—from rural roads and housing to SHG strengthening, PM Kisan Dhan-Dhanya Yojana, bio-farming, inputs supply, credit, and infra funds—identifying accelerators for Chhattisgarh’s progress.
Chouhan’s tour exemplifies a nationwide blueprint: state-specific strategies to supercharge agriculture, uplift rural lives, and forge self-reliant communities. It’s a promise of partnership for a prosperous tomorrow.
