Mainpat (Chhattisgarh) [India], July 18 (HBTV): Union Minister and BJP National President JP Nadda planted a sapling at the Biodiversity Park in Mainpat, Surguja, Chhattisgarh, during a three-day training session for BJP MLAs and MPs, as part of the Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam campaign.

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Arun Sao said, ‘A three-day training session for our MLAs and MPs is scheduled to take place here. It will be inaugurated by BJP National President JP Nadda. Today, during the training, all our MLAs and MPs participated in a tree plantation drive under the Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam campaign at the Biodiversity Park.’

State Minister OP Choudhary added, ‘I had the privilege of planting a peepal tree here. Today, we all planted trees. In the last five years in Mainpat, with the support of Congress, mafias had encroached upon thousands of acres of land, and forests were cut down. As soon as our government came to power, we put a stop to this and are converting it back into a forest so that the natural beauty of Mainpat is enhanced.’

Earlier, CM Sao also stated, ‘A three-day training programme for the newly elected district Panchayat presidents and vice presidents of all districts of Chhattisgarh has started. The Panchayati Raj system is the backbone of rural development, and a significant responsibility lies with the president and vice presidents of our districts. Therefore, this workshop is organised so they can perform their duties properly.’

Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai reaffirmed the state’s commitment to digital transformation, describing electronics and information technology as a key pillar in the vision of Viksit Chhattisgarh 2047, aligned with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Viksit Bharat 2047 roadmap.

While chairing a high-level review meeting of the Electronics and Information Technology Department at Mantralaya Mahanadi Bhawan, CM Sai instructed officials to accelerate the rollout of mobile towers and fibre optic networks, particularly in remote and underserved areas such as Bastar and Surguja.

‘In order to ensure governance that is efficient, transparent and accessible, it is essential to strengthen digital infrastructure across the state,’ CM Sai said.
