Raipur, November 14, 2025: CG Cabinet Breaking: A meeting of the Chhattisgarh Council of Ministers, chaired by Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai, was held today, November 14, at the Secretariat (Mahanadi Bhawan) in Nava Raipur. Several important decisions were taken at the cabinet meeting.

1) The Council of Ministers decided to procure pulses and oilseeds crops in Kharif and Rabi marketing seasons under the "Pradhan Mantri Annadata Aay Sanrakshan Abhiyaan" Price Support Scheme (PSS) as in the previous year.

It is worth mentioning here that under the Pradhan Mantri Annadata Aay Sanrakshan Abhiyan, tur, mung, urad, groundnut and soybean are procured at the support price in the Kharif marketing season and pulses and oilseeds crops like gram, mustard and lentils in the Rabi season. The arrangement for procurement of pulses and oilseeds at the support price in the state's mandis maintains competition in the market, due to which farmers have the possibility of getting better prices for their produce.

2) The Council of Ministers took an important decision to amend the Chhattisgarh Government Work (Allocation) Rules and merge the Public Enterprises Department with the Commerce and Industry Department and the Twenty Point Implementation Department with the Planning, Economic and Statistics Department.

This decision is another important step towards promoting good governance in government work. It aims to ensure the implementation of "minimum government, maximum governance."

3) In order to smoothly operate the system of paddy procurement at the support price in the state, the Council of Ministers decided to revalidate the government guarantee of Rs 15 thousand crore approved for banks and financial institutions for procurement of paddy at the support price for the Kharif marketing year 2024-25 for the Kharif marketing year 2025-26 and to provide additional government guarantee amount of Rs 11,200 crore to the Marketing Federation.

4) The Council of Ministers granted permission for sale by incorporating the following additional provisions for eligibility in the previously issued rules and conditions for the state-sponsored Deendayal Housing Scheme, Atal Housing Scheme, Atal Vihar Scheme and Nava Raipur Chief Minister Housing Scheme.

A) After three advertisements for the sale of EWS and LIG buildings and flats, the unsold buildings can be sold to beneficiaries in any income group other than the eligible beneficiaries, but such beneficiaries will not be eligible for government-approved grants. Grant eligibility will be granted only to beneficiaries in the specified income group.

b) After three advertisements for the sale of EWS and LIG buildings and flats, if a single person or government/semi-government or private institutions propose to purchase more than one property (bulk purchase) for the unsold buildings, then more than one building can be sold in the name of a single person or government/semi-government or private institution as per demand, but they will not be eligible for the grant approved by the government. Wide publicity of this decision will be ensured, so that maximum beneficiaries can benefit from it.

5) An important decision was made to lease the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in Nava Raipur Atal Nagar to the Chhattisgarh State Cricket Association for long-term full-fledged operation and development, as per the contract. This decision will provide the state's budding cricket players with access to high-level training and technical facilities. This decision will ensure the hosting of more national and international cricket matches in Chhattisgarh.

Jashpur -  Following the budget announcement of Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai's government, the people of the state have received further good news. Approval of ₹359 crore has been granted for the construction of a new government medical college to be established in Kunkuri, Jashpur district. The Finance Department has given its consent for this important project.

The state government has already approved 60 posts for the college's operations. Now, with the funding approved for building construction, the process will accelerate. This will provide better and more accessible medical facilities to local residents and those in surrounding districts. Additionally, this project will provide new employment opportunities for local youth. On this occasion, Health Minister Shri Shyam Bihari Jaiswal expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Finance Minister Shri OP Chaudhary and Chief Minister Shri Vishnudev Sai for approving funds for the construction of the medical college building. He stated that this decision will strengthen the region's health infrastructure and provide a new direction in the fields of education and employment.

CG Breaking: Preparations for purchasing paddy at the support price in Chhattisgarh are now in the final stages. However, the strike by cooperative society employees has certainly increased the administration's tension. However, the district administration has implemented alternative arrangements without wasting any time.

The procurement was supposed to begin on November 15th, but since November 15th and 16th fell on Saturday and Sunday, paddy procurement will now begin on Monday, November 17th. Collector Sanjay Agarwal has taken a major decision to ensure that the system does not stop even during the strike. He has assigned the responsibility of committee manager and paddy procurement in-charge to the officers and employees of the Revenue, Agriculture, Food and Cooperative departments. So that paddy procurement can proceed smoothly and transparently without any interruption in 140 procurement centers.

The Collector said that in case of a strike, the government has also engaged a private company from Delhi on an outsourcing basis, so that there is no impact on the procurement system. The Collector also allayed the farmers' concerns regarding gunny bags. He informed that there is no shortage of gunny bags in the district, new bundles have also arrived. This time, the arrangement of cameras and monitoring at the procurement centers has been improved as compared to the last time. Also, paddy procurement will be done on the basis of the AgriStake portal. The work of those farmers whose AgriStake is not updated will be done immediately.

The collector says that this alternative arrangement has been made in the interest of farmers and that paddy procurement will begin on November 17th in any case. The Bilaspur district administration claims that preparations are complete and that farmers will receive smooth, safe, and timely paddy procurement this time as well. It remains to be seen whether the administration's claims are true.

Raipur.  The Chhattisgarh cabinet will meet at 11:30 a.m. at the Mahanadi Bhavan, Ministry of Home Affairs. Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai will chair the meeting. Discussions will be held on paddy procurement, farmer payments, and other issues. The upcoming visit of President Draupadi Murmu is also expected.

Taking a swift decision, CM Sahi approved a financial grant of ₹90,000 for a
disabled rugby player from Abhanpur, Pintu Ram Sahu, who had requested assistance to purchase a wheelchair and essential sports equipment. Understanding his circumstances and needs, the Chief Minister immediately provided him with a check.

Ankush Dewangan of Bhilai created a miracle – created a miniature statue of Modi on marble.

Masterpiece of micro art: Bhilai artist creates miniature statue of Modi ji, Chief Minister praises it

Raipur, November 13, 2025 / Mr. Ankush Dewangan, a 55-year-old resident of Bhilai, Chhattisgarh, has once again astonished everyone with his unique art. During today's public meeting, he presented Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai with a special frame, which features a miniature marble statue of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, intricately carved. A magnificent replica of the newly constructed Shri Ram Lalla Temple in Ayodhya is also engraved on the back of the frame. Upon seeing this remarkable work, the Chief Minister praised Mr. Dewangan profusely and wished him well.

A microscopic lens has been installed in the frame to view the statue, allowing Prime Minister Modi's facial expressions, smile, and fine hairlines to be clearly visible. Mr. Dewangan created this unique artistic marvel by carving a small piece of marble.

Mr. Ankush Dewangan works as an Administrative Assistant at the Bhilai Steel Plant, but since childhood, he has been inclined towards shaping small objects and creating unique artworks from them. At the age of 10, he first made a small wooden toy. He then created metal molds, sculpted clay figures, and finally took up the art of stone carving. For the past 45 years, he has been continuously breaking new ground in the world of micro art.

Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai took the frame in his hands and examined it carefully, saying, "This is not just art, it is a symbol of dedication and patience. The beauty with which Ankush ji has expressed his feelings for the Prime Minister is commendable."

While proposing to organize a state level exhibition for them, the Chief Minister said that it is the responsibility of the government to encourage such talented artists.

Mr. Dewangan said it took him about two months to create this half-centimeter-sized statue. His daily routine was a job during the day and art at night. He said, “Modi ji fulfilled the dream of the Ram temple, so I put both of them in the same frame. This is my small contribution.”

People often come to the Chief Minister's Office for public hearings with their problems, but today, a man brought his art and won everyone's heart. Chief Minister Mr. Sai has decided to keep this frame in a special place in his office.

Mr. Ankush Dewangan's next goal is to build the world's smallest replica of the Ram Setu. "As long as hands keep moving, something new will keep coming," he said with a smile.

Applicant Pintu Ram Sahu stated that he has been involved in sports for the past four years. He visited Gwalior to play rugby for the first time on October 2, 2025. Sahu is currently a final-year BA student and is committed to pursuing a career in sports despite his disability.
