From Raipur to remote districts, couples embraced matrimony following their unique rituals, with 1,316 pairs receiving the CM’s blessings in person and others connecting online. A hefty Rs 35,000 grant per couple ensures a strong foundation for their future.

The Golden Book of World Records entry cements Chhattisgarh’s place on the global stage for fostering harmony. Sai also inaugurated the drive to eradicate malnutrition, piloting it in tribal-heavy areas before full rollout.

Reflecting on two years of governance, the CM touted achievements like monthly stipends for millions of women, better wages for forest workers, and pilgrimage schemes. ‘Modi’s guarantees are turning into reality here,’ he affirmed.
