Chhattisgarh’s farmlands are poised for a high-profile boost as Union Minister for Agriculture & Farmers Welfare and Rural Development, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, schedules a dynamic one-day sojourn on January 31. Focused on synergy between schemes and stakeholders, the tour promises tangible advancements.
From Raipur, it’s off to Girhola and Khapri in Durg for field immersions, tree-planting, and candid farmer talks. Emphasis on PM-KISAN payouts, RASTRIYA KISAN Vikas Yojana, eco-friendly farming, and PMKSY drip systems aims to onboard every eligible cultivator.
Kumhari’s afternoon farmers’ expo, led by Chhattisgarh Youth Progressive Farmers Association, features Chouhan’s insights on agri-modernization, diversification strategies, FPO models, digital ecosystems, and rural mission income ladders.
Core schemes take center stage: PM Kisan’s direct support, weather-proof PM Fasal Bima, digital and drone agri-tech, PMAY-Gramin homes, PM Gram Sadak networks, NRLM collectives—tools to amplify earnings, infrastructure, and self-reliance across the heartland.
The capstone: A Naya Raipur review at Mahanadi Bhawan with CM Vishnu Dev Sai, scrutinizing PMGSY progress, housing pipelines, SHG successes, natural farming scale-up, input accessibility, finance, and fund allocations for agri-structures.
Chouhan’s engagement heralds a chapter of intensified collaboration, tailoring national agri-rural agendas to Chhattisgarh’s terrain, fostering growth, equity, and vibrancy in every hamlet.
