Chief Minister Raman Singh on Sunday unveiled the farmers' dairy project of village Silphili in Surajpur district as 'Pilka-shir'.
Singh visited the district which is located on the extreme northern tip of the state, as part of his ongoing Vikas Yatra aimed at to brief people about the development works the BJP government has carried out in past 15 years.
Singh also unveiled the logo of the dairy project.
The dairy procures milk from roughly 2,000 farmers at the rate of Rs 30 per litre. He Singh wished the project would be the great success. Home Minister Ramsevak Paikra, labour Minister Bhaiyyalal Rajwade, Member of Parliaments Kamalbhan Singh, Ramvichar Netam, MARKFED Chairman Radhakrishna Gupta and prominent citizens were on the present. Singh further said that development does not mean only laying of roads, construction of bridges and buildings but providing two square meals a day and supplying electricity to the remote corners in the state.
Paikra said that earlier villagers used to refer Chandni-Biharpur district Surajpur as 'Kaala Pani' due to lack of transport. But under the leadership of Raman Singh there is a rapid development in the far-flung villages during the past 15 years. All weather roads had also been laid under the Prime Minister Rural Roads Project.
