He said the number of cooperative societies has increased to about 2,000 from 1,300 to facilitate the farmers.
The Rajiv Gandhi Kisan Nyay Yojana has boosted the morale of farmers. He also underlined the importance of Godhan Nyay Yojana in strengthening the rural economy.
On the demand for a road from Sodekala by villagers, Baghel approved its construction.
He announced the primary health centre will be upgraded. A new sub-health centre, a mini stadium at Badi Hardi, flood relief centres in villages on the banks of Mahanadi river and a Government Higher Secondary School building in Rengalpali will be built.
He said many had been given jobs after the NTPC Lara project.
