Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai recently visited Jashpur district to inaugurate and lay the foundation stones for a significant package of 13 development projects, collectively valued at Rs 40.89 crore. This initiative aims to accelerate the comprehensive development of the Farsabahar region, emphasizing the state government’s dedication to inclusive infrastructure. Four completed projects, totaling Rs 4.16 crore, were officially opened, while nine new projects, with a combined value of Rs 36.72 crore, received their foundation stones.
Among the inaugurated projects were crucial road improvements, including a 1.70 km stretch from Maskamara to Lavakera main road (Rs 1.81 crore), the Ambakchar approach road (1.00 km, Rs 1.29 crore), and the Mundadih approach road (0.90 km, Rs 95.53 lakh). These infrastructure upgrades are expected to enhance rural connectivity.
The foundation-laying ceremony marked the commencement of nine new ventures. A notable project is the Pamsala–Saraïtola 11.50 km road construction, the largest of the new works, costing Rs 23.96 crore. Additionally, a Sludge Treatment Plant worth Rs 31.38 lakh and a Rest House building at Farsabahar (Rs 1.72 crore) were part of the new projects. A significant focus was placed on educational infrastructure, with the initiation of several Post-Matric Tribal Boys’ Hostels and Pre-Matric Tribal Boys’ Hostels in various locations. These hostels, each valued between Rs 1.52 crore and Rs 1.91 crore, are designed to improve learning environments for tribal students.
This event underscores the administration’s commitment to equitable development, covering essential areas like rural infrastructure, sanitation, education, and tribal welfare. Chief Minister Sai reiterated his pledge to ensure that development initiatives reach every corner of Jashpur, reinforcing the state’s vision for ‘Antyodaya’ – upliftment of the last person.
