Baghel announced a Mukhya Mantri Vriksha Sampada scheme with a provision of Rs 100 crore to maintain and upgrade schools, hostels, ashrams and government buildings and to upgrade the Industrial Training Institutes (ITI) as Swami Atmanand Excellent ITI Scheme.
He did Bhumi Pujan of the Saint Shiromani Guru Ghasidas Baba Memorial and Museum to be built in Nava Raipur.
Baghel said the state's farmers were happy while women's faces glow with confidence as they erre becoming self-reliant.
He said the journey of the state government began four years ago with the waiver of loans of farmers as part of Suraji Gaon Yojna to make the villages self-supporting. The 9,000 Gauthans have become the centre of economic activities led by women. The conversion of cow dung as vermicompost has opened a path for organic farming and revenue generation.
