Vikas Ka Garh Chhattisgarh

Chhattisgarh has been a region of coordination, harmony, and noble values for centuries. The glorious character of Indian culture developed in this ancient South Kosala, the birthplace of Mother Kausalya and the maternal home of Lord Rama. Recent excavations at Sirpur (ancient Shripur) reveal the remarkable coexistence of Shaivite, Vaishnavite, Shakta, Buddhist, and Jain worship practices. Rishi culture, forest culture, agricultural culture, and urban civilization flourished here side by side. Due to prolonged political neglect and inhuman exploitation, this region, once rich in natural resources, fell prey to backwardness. The inhabitants of this truly gem-rich land lived in extreme economic poverty. There is a dark history of at least 150 years of premature deaths from hunger here. The people who resisted injustice were attacked by the independence regime in Rajnandgaon, in this region. It was always considered one of the countrys poorest states. Its simple and easygoing residents were constantly cheated. But a decade ago, Chhattisgarh took a new turn. During this period, it established itself as one of the fastest-growing states in all its fields. Its food security guarantee became a national model. In the last four to five years, the state has made significant strides in womens empowerment. Under the sensitive leadership of Dr. Raman Singh, Chhattisgarh is emerging as one of the nations leading states.
