This wave of development has touched every part of the State, right from the remote villages to the big cities.

And this confidence of public is the biggest strength of State Government, said Chief Minister Dr Raman Singh while addressing the massive gathering at Pandaria of Kabeerdham district on the second day of Vikas Yatra phase-II.

He further talked about his relation with the people of Kabeerdham district since the time he was MlA of the area and even before that. He added that this relation with public will only grow stronger with time.
The wave of development stirred by the development schemes of State Government has also touched Pandatarai area of Kabeerdham district, bringing about a positive change in the lives of people over here, said Dr Raman Singh on the occasion. Over the years, sugarcane cultivation and other advanced methods of agriculture have drawn interest of farmers. While, the Sutiyapat and Karranala Irrigation Projects in Kabeerdham district are providing better irrigation facilities to the farmers. State Government is also implementing Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana and Mukhyamantri Gram Sadak Yojana, with the goal of connecting each and every village with all-weather roads.
Number of works has been done in the area for facilitation of roads, development of irrigation facilities and for ensuring overall rural development. But a lot more works are yet to be done. State Government has realised that construction of roads in forested areas of Pandariya is required, and this requirement will be met as soon as possible.
Before leaving for Pandatarai and Pandariya, Chief Minister Dr Raman Singh reached Bhoramdeo Cooperative Sugar Factory at Ramhepur area near Kawardha and inaugurated the statue of renowned Freedom Fighter of Chhattisgarh and Spearhead of Cooperative Movement Thakur Pyarelal Singh there.
