National recognition of the state’s talent and cultural legacy honours the aspirations of its people: Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai

Listening to the programme along with public representatives and distinguished citizens at his residential office in Raipur, Shri Sai said Prime Minister’s mention of Chhattisgarh on a national platform was a matter of pride, inspiration and confidence for the entire state.

“When the country’s top leadership highlights the achievements and strengths of a state, it is not merely recognition of individuals but of the aspirations, hard work and identity of crores of people of the state,” Chief Minister said.

Expressing gratitude to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, Shri Sai said Mann Ki Baat has emerged as a powerful platform that gives national visibility to positive initiatives, innovations, talent and inspiring life journeys from across the country.

A major highlight of the programme was the Prime Minister’s reference to Shri Animesh Kujur, a young athlete from Ghuitangar, a small village in Jashpur district, who has earned recognition at national and international levels. Chief Minister said the mention of Shri Animesh’s achievements sends a strong message to young people that limited resources cannot restrict talent when supported by dedication, discipline and hard work.

He added that the manner in which Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi presented the achievements of Shri Animesh Kujur and Shri Gurindervir Singh in Mann Ki Baat infused fresh energy among the country’s youth. During the programme, the Prime Minister interacted with both athletes over the phone and noted that the national record in the men’s 100-metre event was broken three times within just two days, describing it as a remarkable example of positive competition in sports.

Chief Minister said the development represented much more than a sporting statistic. “It reflects the confidence, discipline and world-class aspirations of India’s youth,” he said.

Highlighting Shri Animesh’s achievement, Shri Sai said the young sprinter completed the 100-metre race in 10.15 seconds, setting a new national record and qualifying for the 2026 Commonwealth Games. He described Shri Animesh’s journey as particularly inspiring, noting that the athlete came from a rural background in Jashpur and studied at Sainik School, Ambikapur before reaching the international stage through perseverance, discipline and family support.

Chief Minister said Animesh’s success demonstrates that Chhattisgarh is rich in talent and that young people from the state can establish themselves on the global stage when provided with suitable opportunities.

Referring to the interaction between the Prime Minister and the athlete, Shri Sai said Shri Animesh shared how his interest in sports grew during the Covid period and how encouragement from friends led him towards athletics. Despite challenges and doubts, he remained committed to his goals and never looked back. He also conveyed that Indian athletes are capable of creating a new identity in world-class sprinting and that Indian youth are second to none in any field.

Administration strict on irregularities in distribution, ban on 8 centers

Raipur, May 31, 2026/ As directed by the Government of India and the State Government, quality and adequate fertilizer and seed is being ensured for farmers in Chhattisgarh's Korba district for the 2026 Kharif season. Deputy Director of the Agriculture Department, Mr. DPS Kanwar, clarified that the district has adequate fertilizer and seed storage, and farmers will not face any shortages.

Korba Collector Kunal Dudawat has taken a tough stance on any negligence or irregularities found in the storage and distribution of fertilizers. He has issued instructions to take strict legal and punitive action against erring vendors under the Fertilizer Control Order 1985 and the Essential Commodities Act 1955.

Use of blue green algae as biofertilizer

Blue green algae and green manure provide nitrogen nutrients to the plants by fixing atmospheric nitrogen and increase the fertility of the soil by maintaining its physical, chemical and biological quality. Dhaincha seeds are being distributed to the farmers as green manure at the rate of 8 kg per acre and mung seeds at the rate of 4 kg per acre. Also, production of blue green algae as bio-fertilizer is being done in Krishi Vigyan Kendra Lakhanpur, Agriculture College Katghora, Government Garden Nursery Pattadi (Korba) and in the fields of identified farmers.

Taking nano fertilizer is not mandatory, it will be completely optional

Based on the recommendations of scientists, integrated nutrient management is being promoted this time. Emphasis is being placed on the balanced use of organic and green manure along with chemical fertilizers. Based on last year's demand, 80 percent urea and 60 percent DAP are being stocked in cooperative societies. The remaining 20 percent of urea will be supplied through nano urea/alternative fertilizers and the remaining 40 percent of DAP will be supplied through nano DAP/NPK. The administration has clarified that no farmer will be forced to take nano fertilizer; it will be completely voluntary.

Storage of fertilizers and seeds in figures

The current status of fertilizer availability at cooperative societies in Korba district is as follows.
The target for the cooperative sector is 12,700 metric tons. Against the target, 7,132.58 metric tons (56.16 percent) of fertilizer has been stored. Farmers have so far lifted 1,129.94 metric tons of fertilizer, while 6,002.64 metric tons remain in the societies. A total of 11,886 liters of nano liquid fertilizer (6,842 liters of nano urea and 5,044 liters of nano DAP) was stored in Korba district, of which 483.50 liters have been distributed, and 11,402.50 liters are available in stock. In addition, dhaincha seeds (8 kg/acre) and mung bean seeds (4 kg/acre) are also being distributed to interested farmers for green manure.

Licenses/sales have been suspended at eight centers. Fifty-eight bags of urea were seized during an illegal operation at one center. According to the Agriculture Department, this inspection campaign will continue on the Collector's instructions to completely curb black marketing and illegal storage.
