A large number of people from across the state showed up at the Chief Minister’s second ‘Jandarshan’ in Raipur with tremendous enthusiasm.

During the program, the Chief Minister distributed cheques of Rs two lakhs each to the meritorious children of labourers. Additionally, he planted a Dehiman sapling in honour of his mother at his residence premises. At the event, visitors also availed the health check-up services arranged for them. Satisfied with the immediate resolution of their grievances, many applicants of previous Jandarshan also attended today’s program to personally thank the CM.
At the Jandarshan program held today, the Chief Minister awarded cheques of incentives worth Rs two lakhs each provided to 13 meritorious children under Mukhyamantri Noni-Babu Medhavi Shiksha Sahayta Yojana. This included Rs one lakh as an incentive and Rs one lakh for purchasing scooters to commute to schools and colleges. These children were the top 10 rankers in the 2023-24 board exams for classes 10 and 12 and they all come from labourer families. On the occasion, Chief Minister Shri Sai planted the ‘Dehiman’ sapling in honour of his mother. This plant is known for its medicinal properties and is found in the Surguja region. The Chief Minister appealed to people to join the ‘Ek Ped Ma Ke Naam’ campaign initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and plant a sapling in their homes or villages in honour of their mothers.
