Following the formation of the state, basic infrastructure such as roads, electricity, water, and education was strengthened. The Chief Minister noted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi performed the groundbreaking ceremony for the medical college building during his visit to Raipur, and today, its foundation stone laying ceremony was held. Fulfilling this long-pending demand will provide better healthcare facilities to the people locally. The Chief Minister stated that the health infrastructure in Kawardha district has been strengthened in the last two years. The establishment of facilities such as CT scans and critical care units has made treatment more accessible.

The Chief Minister recalled that Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Raipur on November 1st, the State Foundation Day, where he inaugurated the new Vidhan Sabha building and the Tribal Museum. He said that this museum is rich in memories of tribal bravery and sacrifices of great men, which everyone must visit. Chief Minister Shri Sai said that as per the guarantee of Prime Minister Shri Modi, all the works are being completed in a timely manner.

Discussing the interests of farmers, he stated that for the third consecutive year, paddy procurement is being carried out at a rate of ₹3,100 per quintal, based on the rate of 21 quintals per acre. The Chief Minister described decisions such as the Ramlala Darshan Yojana and the increase in the rate of tendu leaves from ₹4,000 to ₹5,500 per standard bag as important steps taken in the interest of farmers and the forest region. He noted that a large number of Baiga and other tribal communities reside in the Kawardha region, for whose overall development the Central Government has launched the PM Janman Yojana. This scheme is dedicated to the development of particularly backward tribes. The Chief Minister also informed that ₹146 crore has been approved for the development of Bhoramdev under the Swadesh Darshan Yojana, which will give the region a new identity on the national and international tourism map. Assembly Speaker Dr. Raman Singh, addressing the foundation stone-laying ceremony, said that today is an unprecedented and proud day in the history of Kawardha. This is a moment that will be etched in golden letters. He said that many important achievements have been made since the formation of Kawardha district after independence, but a historic day like the establishment of a medical college comes only once in a lifetime. Dr. Singh said that the respect of farmers is paramount in the state. Under the Mahatari Vandan Yojana, mothers and sisters are being given an amount of Rs. 1,000 per month directly into their accounts, providing financial strength to their families. He praised the foresight of Chief Minister Shri Sai and said that the development projects received by Kawardha have rapidly changed the direction and condition of the district.
