PM Gives Nod to ₹49,000 Cr Project Stuck for Over 45 Years in Chhattisgarh
After years of delay, the government of Chhattisgarh has received a major boost with Prime Minister Narendra Modi giving his nod to two major infrastructure projects in the state. The projects, which have been stuck for over 45 years, are expected to be built at a cost of ₹49,000 crore. The announcement came days after Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai met PM Modi in Delhi.
The two projects that have received the Prime Minister’s approval are the Bodhghat Irrigation Project and the Indravati-Mahanadi Interlinking Project. The Bodhghat Irrigation Project aims to provide irrigation facilities to over 20 lakh acres of land in the state, which will benefit over 35 lakh farmers. The project will also help to increase agricultural production in the state, which is a major source of employment and income for the people of Chhattisgarh.
The Indravati-Mahanadi Interlinking Project, on the other hand, is aimed at linking the Indravati and Mahanadi rivers, which will provide water to drought-prone areas of the state. The project will also help to control floods in the state by providing a safe outlet for excess water.
The two projects have been pending for over 45 years, with several previous governments promising to complete them but failing to do so. The projects are expected to be built at a cost of ₹49,000 crore, which will be funded by the central government and the state government.
Speaking to the media, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said that the Prime Minister’s approval for the projects is a major achievement for the state government. “We have been working hard to get these projects approved and we are thrilled that PM Modi has given his nod to them,” he said.
Sai also said that the projects will have a major impact on the state’s economy and will help to create employment opportunities for the people of Chhattisgarh. “These projects will not only provide irrigation facilities to farmers but also help to increase agricultural production in the state,” he said.
The Chief Minister also said that the state government is committed to completing the projects as soon as possible and is working with the central government to ensure that the projects are completed on time.
The announcement of the two projects has been welcomed by farmers and industrialists in the state, who have been demanding that the projects be completed for years. Farmers are hoping that the projects will help to increase their income and improve their livelihoods, while industrialists are hoping that the projects will help to improve the state’s infrastructure and attract more investment.
The approval of the two projects is also seen as a major boost to the state’s economy, which has been growing rapidly in recent years. The state’s GDP has been growing at an average rate of 8% per annum over the past few years, and the approval of the two projects is expected to help to sustain this growth.
In conclusion, the approval of the Bodhghat Irrigation Project and the Indravati-Mahanadi Interlinking Project is a major achievement for the government of Chhattisgarh. The projects are expected to have a major impact on the state’s economy and will help to create employment opportunities for the people of Chhattisgarh. We hope that the projects are completed as soon as possible and have a positive impact on the state’s economy.
