In the tenth episode of his radio talk Lokvani, the Chief Minister, Mr. Bhupesh Baghel, today shared his views with the audience on the topic ‘Inclusive Development – Your Aas’. He said that our leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Nehru, Sardar Patel, Dr. Ambedkar, Shastri, Azad, Maulana spoke of justice, we have got the Chhattisgarhi model of development from the common heritage. Inclusion has a simple meaning – taking all sections of society together, participation of all, system of development for all. He said that when we consider the farmer as the axis of the economy, then understand that we have reached the axis of inclusive development. The Government of Chhattisgarh has put farmers at the center of the economy. Along with this, the state government is making the most arrangements for development by making serious efforts to increase the participation of farmers, rural, scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, backward classes, women in the economy. While considering the topic of ‘inclusive development – your hope’, the Chief Minister said that I firmly believe that the solution of economic and social problems of the country and the state is possible only through inclusive development. We are awakening to inclusive development in our state and will move forward in this direction. There is the same sentiment in the Vedavakya of ‘Survey Bhavantu Sukhinah’, which is our cultural heritage. The question arises that who is not included in the prevailing system? Who is missed? So the simple answer is that one who does not get rights over resources, who does not have a means of dignified livelihood, does not have development opportunities or who is poor. That class is left out. In our prevailing economy, the participation of farmers, rural, scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, backward classes, women has been very less. It is not that the efforts have not started but it is fair to say that the campaign went astray, and it stopped somewhere. Going back a little, Mahatma Gandhi Our leaders like Pandit Nehru, Sardar Patel, Dr. Ambedkar, Shastri, Azad, Maulana spoke of justice, we have got the Chhattisgarhi model from that common heritage. Nehru started the Five-Year Plan as the first Prime Minister of the country. Because of that, the foundation of India in every region, Especially in the economic and social sector.
