In the days to come, all the daily use articles and services like vegetable, grocery, medicine would be available in the villages.
General Manager (Administration) of NRDA Mahadev Kawre said that as rapid movement of people toward Naya Raipur has been started, the villagers have been asked to open the allotted shops soon. He said, in order to provide employment opportunity to the project affected people, NRDA had made this provision of reservation of 75 per cent shops for the ruralites.
Kawre said that efforts have been made to provide employment with training to youths with a view to make the project affected financially empowered. NRDA has made preparations for a fully developed Gokul Dham on a 50-acre land at Kotarabhatta. In it, along with proper facility for systematic shed, electricity and water, a huge area would be reserved for grazing. After its development about 100 families of Kotarabhatta would be provided developed dairies. With its development, the future demand for dairy products of Naya Raipur will be supplied and the villagers get a source of financial aid.
