CM Sai calls on PM Modi, extends invitation for Chhattisgarh's silver jubilee celebrations
New Delhi: In a significant engagement at Parliament House on Friday, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, extending a formal invitation to grace the upcoming 'Amrit Rajat Mahotsav' in Raipur on November 1. The event marks the 25th anniversary of Chhattisgarh's formation and is being celebrated as the Silver Jubilee Year. During the meeting, Chief Minister Sai briefed Prime Minister Modi on the state's developmental roadmap, highlighting key priorities and public welfare initiatives. He emphasised that the Prime Minister's presence would lend historic gravitas to the celebrations and serve as a source of inspiration for the people of Chhattisgarh. CM Sai also presented the state's long-term strategic blueprint - Anjor Vision @ 2047 - which outlines Chhattisgarh's roadmap toward sustainable growth in alignment with the national goal of a developed India. The document proposes sectoral reforms across education, healthcare, agriculture, industry, innovation, and environmental sustainability. Drawing from the Centre's Jan Vishwas Act 2023, the Chief Minister informed the Prime Minister about the passage of Chhattisgarh's own Jan Vishwas Bill 2025, aimed at enhancing transparency and accessibility in the justice system. Urban development featured prominently in the discussion, with CM Sai detailing the formation of the Chhattisgarh State Capital Region Development Authority (SCRDA). This body is tasked with transforming 'Nava Raipur' (new Raipur) into a smart, modern urban hub through planned infrastructure and governance. On the economic front, the Chief Minister reported robust momentum in industrial investment and job creation, catalysed by the state's Industrial Policy 2024-30. He noted that the policy's single-window clearance system and targeted incentives, especially for enterprises employing over 1,000 workers, have significantly boosted investor confidence. Between November 2024 and July 2025, Chhattisgarh received investment proposals worth Rs 6.65 lakh crore from 84 companies. Among the marquee developments is the foundation of India's first semiconductor unit in Nava Raipur, alongside the launch of construction for an AI data centre. The state is also prioritising sectors such as textiles, pharmaceuticals, ready-made garments, and IT services to position itself as a technological and industrial powerhouse. Turning to education, CM Sai underscored efforts to rationalise schools and deploy trained teachers in tribal and remote regions. The integration of digital tools is central to the state's push for equitable and effective learning outcomes. Two flagship projects - Medicity and Edu City - are underway to bolster healthcare and education infrastructure. The Medicity in Raipur is envisioned as a cutting-edge medical hub, expected to generate substantial employment and elevate Chhattisgarh's profile in the health sector. The Chief Minister also briefed Prime Minister Modi on rehabilitation and confidence-building measures in the Maoist-affected areas. He credited the state's sensitive and forward-looking policies for encouraging large-scale surrenders and reintegration of former Maoists.

Chhattisgarh charts ambitious 2047 growth vision to 15x GSDP, become services & IT hub
RAIPUR: Aiming to boost its Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) nearly 14 to 15 times by 2047, the Chhattisgarh government with NITI Aayog, has unveiled an ambitious roadmap with a sharp focus on transforming the services sector and investing in its youthful demographic. The vision document, titled 'Chhattisgarh Anjor Vision @2047', outlines the state's contribution to India's broader aspiration of becoming a $30 trillion economy by its 100th year of independence. The roadmap rests on three pillars: economic expansion, human development, and sustainable governance. Describing the vision document as more than just a compilation of words, the Chief Minister stated, 'This is a firm resolution and a clear roadmap toward building a self-reliant, prosperous, and developed Chhattisgarh. Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Developed India @2047' mission, this vision will guide the state to become one of India's leading developed states.' State Finance and Planning Minister O P Choudhary elaborated on the structure and strategy of the Anjor Vision @2047, describing it as a multi-dimensional strategy for inclusive growth, governance reform, and investment promotion. He noted the vision defines short-term (2030), medium-term (2035), and long-term (2047) goals across 13 socio-economic themes, including education, health, industry, infrastructure, logistics, agriculture, forest produce, investment, skills, IT & AI, tourism, culture, environmental conservation, and sustainability. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indian Investors Are Buying These Dubai Apartments—Here's Why Binghatti Developers FZE Explore Undo 'The vision includes over 200 proposed initiatives, backed by measurable indicators and policy frameworks, to ensure effective monitoring and implementation. It aims to double the state economy in the next five years, grow GDP 15-fold by 2047, and increase per capita income tenfold. Plans include the creation of 5,000+ smart villages, 10+ smart cities, and positioning Chhattisgarh as a leading IT hub,' Choudhary said. Tripling the Services Sector Currently, Chhattisgarh's economy is driven primarily by the industrial sector, which accounts for 45% of its GDP, followed by services (35%) and agriculture (20%). The new plan seeks to increase the services sector's contribution from 35% to 50% by 2047, identifying it as the engine for future growth. Key proposals include rapid expansion of digital infrastructure, promotion of IT and AI-driven industries, and leveraging healthcare and education tourism. Plans are underway to generate over 10,000 jobs in IT services, establish AI data centers, and invest in logistics and tourism development. An excerpt from the report notes: 'The services sector is expected to expand rapidly, driven by growth in information technology, logistics, and tourism.' A Youth-Driven Economy With 41% of Chhattisgarh's population under 18, the report identifies youth as central to the development agenda. Emphasis has been placed on higher education, vocational training, and youth empowerment. By 2025, premier institutions such as NIFT, NFSU, and NIELIT are expected to begin operations in the state, joining existing centers like IIT, IIM, AIIMS, and NIT. In the longer term, the state aspires to attract institutes such as IISc, IISER, SPA, and NIPER, further strengthening its academic ecosystem. Manufacturing Backbone and Infrastructure Push While services are set to expand, the industrial sector will remain a cornerstone of the economy. The state is a leading national producer of steel, cement, aluminum, and key minerals like coal and iron ore. Chhattisgarh alone contributes 30% of India's iron and steel, 20% of aluminum, and 12% of cement output. However, the state continues to face infrastructure bottlenecks. As a landlocked region, lack of port access and low railway density remain challenges. Its road density (71 km per 100 sq. km) lags behind the national average (139 km). To overcome this, the report advocates for multi-modal logistics corridors, new railway lines, and upgrading Raipur airport into an international hub. Health, Happiness, and Sustainability The document dedicates a major section to human development under the banner 'Swasth aur Sukhi Chhattisgarh' (Healthy and Happy Chhattisgarh). Key health targets include reducing infant mortality from 38 to below 5, and increasing life expectancy from 65 to 84 years by 2047. The roadmap also emphasizes revitalizing tribal economies through sustainable use of the state's 44% forest cover. Proposed measures include promoting herbal farming, bamboo and honey clusters, and experiential tribal tourism—particularly around non-timber forest products (NTFPs). The Road Ahead To achieve the projected GSDP of Rs 76–78 lakh crore by 2047 (from the current ₹5.67 lakh crore), Chhattisgarh must double its economy four times in 23 years, maintaining an average annual growth of 12–13%.
