Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarked on a significant visit to Chhattisgarh on Sunday, marking his first trip to the state post the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. This visit underscored the government's commitment to accelerate developmental initiatives across various sectors, with projects worth over Rs 33,700 crore. The diverse portfolio includes power generation, transmission, infrastructure development, education, and housing, aimed at bolstering economic growth and social welfare.
At the heart of PM Modi's visit are several power sector projects that align with India's ambition to become self-reliant in power generation while adhering to environmental sustainability goals. Key highlights include:
NTPC's Sipat Super Thermal Power Project Stage-III: With an investment exceeding Rs 9,790 crore, this project utilizes Ultra-Supercritical Technology to enhance power generation efficiency. The project is a pithead-based initiative located in Bilaspur district, set to significantly increase the thermal power capacity in the region[1][2].
First Super Critical Thermal Power Project by CSPGCL: Worth Rs 15,800 crore, this project aims to further augment Chhattisgarh's power generation capabilities. The project's commissioning marks a crucial step towards fulfilling India's net-zero emission goals by promoting cleaner energy solutions[1][4].
Power Transmission Projects by POWERGRID: Under the Western Region Expansion Scheme (WRES), three power transmission projects valued at over Rs 560 crore were dedicated to the nation. These initiatives are designed to improve grid stability and ensure reliable power distribution across the region[1][4].
In line with improving connectivity and energy accessibility, PM Modi also initiated key pipeline projects:
Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd's City Gas Distribution (CGD) Project: This project spans across Koriya, Surajpur, Balrampur, and Surguja districts, with an investment of Rs 1,285 crore. It includes over 200 km of high-pressure pipelines and more than 800 km of MDPE pipelines, along with multiple CNG dispensing outlets[2][4].
Visakh-Raipur Pipeline (VRPL) Project by Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL): With a total length of 540 km and a capacity to transport over three million metric tonnes per annum, this multi-product pipeline will enhance the transportation efficiency of petrol, diesel, and kerosene[1][4].
Infrastructure development remains a core focus for the government, as highlighted by several projects:
Railway Projects: PM Modi laid the foundation stone for seven new railway projects covering 108 km and inaugurated three completed projects spanning 111 km, valued at Rs 2,690 crore. These initiatives include key rail lines such as Kharsia–Jharradih and Bhilai–Bhilai Nagar–Durg[2][3].
100% Electrification of Rail Network: Chhattisgarh achieved a significant milestone with the completion of 100% electrification of its rail network. This not only reduces environmental impact but also boosts operational efficiency[3][4].
Road Infrastructure Upgrades: The PM dedicated upgraded sections of NH-930 and NH-43 to two-lane highways with paved shoulders, significantly improving connectivity and accessibility in tribal and industrial regions. Additionally, the foundation stone was laid for upgrading the Kondagaon-Narayanpur section of NH-130D[1][4].
Enhancing education infrastructure, Modi dedicated two major initiatives:
130 PM SHRI Schools: Under the PM Schools for Rising India scheme, these schools will be upgraded with modern facilities, including smart boards, laboratories, and libraries, across 29 districts of Chhattisgarh[2][4].
Vidya Samiksha Kendra (VSK) at Raipur: This initiative aims to monitor and analyze educational schemes through digital platforms[2][4].
The visit also underscored the government's commitment to housing and social welfare:
PM Modi's vision for Chhattisgarh reflects a broader national strategy to intertwine economic development with social welfare, ensuring sustainable growth and improved quality of life for its residents.
The diverse range of projects launched in Chhattisgarh not only aligns with India's national development goals but also positions the state as a hub for growth and innovation. As India continues to evolve economically and socially, such comprehensive initiatives will be pivotal in shaping the future of regions like Chhattisgarh.
