At the programme, the Chief Minister launched the CREDAI Chhattisgarh App and inaugurated the youth wings in Bhilai, Durg and Bilaspur districts.

"The government of Chhattisgarh took favourable decisions to bring this sector out of recession. Soon the real estate sector started galloping, leaving the recession behind.
"After the lockdown, Chhattisgarh was the first to resume work in industries and factories across the country. There has been a boom in every sector here.
"The Chhattisgarh government has taken practical decisions for the benefit of the people. The government has provided Rs 1.60 lakh crore to the people of the state through various schemes."
