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.
