Youth arrived on an educational tour under Swami Vivekananda Yuva Protsahan Yojana: Saw the railway station, Vidhan Sabha and Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram for the first time

Raipur, March 18, 2025: Today was a historic day for the youth from remote villages of Sukma district of Chhattisgarh. Under the Swami Vivekananda Yuva Protsahan Yojana, 119 youth from villages like Silger, Poorvarti, Elmagunda, Lakhapal, Shalatong, Sakler, Chhotekedwal, Bagdeguda and Bedre, included in the Niyyad Nellnar scheme, came out of their village for the first time and reached the capital Raipur. During this educational tour, the youth visited the railway station, Chhattisgarh Vidhan Sabha and Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram.

During their arrival in the capital, the youth visited the Chhattisgarh Vidhan Sabha and watched the proceedings of the House by sitting in the visitors’ gallery, due to which they looked very excited. On this occasion, he met the Speaker of the Assembly Dr. Raman Singh and Deputy Chief Minister Shri Vijay Sharma. While discussing with the youth, the Speaker of the Assembly Dr. Raman Singh said that if the youth want, they can spread the light of peace and development in their village. Deputy Chief Minister Mr. Vijay Sharma inquired from the youth about the condition of their village. He assured the youth that the state government is committed to providing essential facilities like paved roads, electricity, pure drinking water, ration, medical and housing in their villages. He appealed to the youth to take maximum advantage of government schemes and said that under the guidance of Chief Minister Mr. Vishnu Dev Sai, we all together will make Chhattisgarh a developed and prosperous state.

Deputy Chief Minister Sharma discussed special strategies for the economic development of villages under the Niyyad Nellnar Yojana. He informed that new security camps have been set up near these villages, so that the security system can be strengthened in the Maoist-affected areas and the benefits of the welfare schemes of the government reach everyone. It is noteworthy that many villagers who came out of their villages for the first time after 75 years of independence and reached the capital saw the progress of the state closely and expressed their desire to contribute to the development of their villages in future. The state government under the leadership of Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai is continuously ensuring that basic facilities reach the remote areas in the Bastar region of Chhattisgarh and the people there join the mainstream of development. The state government is working to rapidly provide basic facilities in the Maoist-affected areas of the state. The benefits of various schemes of the state government are now being extended to these remote villages, so that the youth can be connected to the mainstream of education, health, employment and development. The Swami Vivekananda Yuva Protsahan Yojana and Niyad Nella Nar Yojana run by the government are an important step in this direction, which is helping in connecting the rural youth with the development process of the state. This initiative has not only brought a new ray of hope for the youth of these villages, but it also gives a glimpse of the bright future of Chhattisgarh.
