Chhattisgarh has established itself as a leading state at the national level due to its outstanding performance in the PM Janman, Dharti Aaba Tribal Village Utkarsh Abhiyan, Adi Kamyogi Abhiyan, and the Sarve Setu app. Therefore, we must remain a leader in the implementation of this campaign and achieve its core objectives.
