Raipur : Thirty-one youths from five villages adjacent to Palnar Camp in Maoist-affected Bijapur district met Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah today in Nava Raipur. For many of these youths, this was their first journey beyond Bijapur to the capital city, Raipur. On this occasion, Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai, Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Shri Nityanand Rai, Deputy Chief Ministers Shri Arun Sao and Shri Vijay Sharma, as well as Forest Minister Shri Kedar Kashyap, were also present.
Union Home Minister Shri Shah inquired about the well-being of these youths and extended his best wishes for their bright future. During their visit to the capital city, these youths toured several key locations, including Purkhauti Muktangan, Mahanadi Bhavan Mantralaya, Mevan Steel Plant, Magneto Mall, the International Cricket Stadium, and the railway station. The youths arrived in Raipur on the night of 23 August and will return to Bijapur tomorrow after visiting Gangrel Dam.
It is noteworthy that under "Niyad Nellanar" Scheme, all the basic amenities such as roads, electricity, water supply, ration, schools, hospitals, and Anganbadi centers are being provided to the villages located around the Palnar Security Camp. Additionally, the benefits of various Central and State government schemes are being made available to all the eligible beneficiaries. Niyad Nellanar Scheme is being implemented in villages within a five-kilometer radius of the security camp, covering 33 villages in Bijapur district.
Through this initiative, Bijapur district administration has introduced these youths from far flung rural areas to new opportunities in industrial development and employment sectors in Raipur. This exposure has sparked new enthusiasm among them, as they now aspire to engage in employment-oriented activities and build a bright and prosperous future for themselves.
