Amit Shah Launches Rural Bus Service, Transfers Rs 606 Crore to Women in Chhattisgarh
Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated a rural bus service, similar to a 'flixbus' or 'greyhound bus', and digitally transferred Rs 606 crore to women beneficiaries in Chhattisgarh. He also appealed for adopting swadeshi values and products, promoting indigenous goods as a strategic economic imperative. Around 300 companies showcased their products at the 'Swadeshi Mela' in Jagdalpur, with similar events planned across India.
The Bastar Dussehra festival served as a platform to blend tradition with economic vision, providing a stage for the 'Swadeshi Mela'. The event, organised by the Swadeshi Manch, saw around 300 companies displaying their products. Shah inaugurated a rural bus service to improve connectivity across 250 villages in Bastar and Sarguja divisions, aiming to boost local economy, similar to an 'mta bus time' service.
Shah digitally transferred Rs 606 crore to 65 lakh women beneficiaries under the Mahtari Vandan Yojana, empowering them financially. He urged villagers to encourage Maoists to surrender and contribute to the state's development. The government has disbursed Rs 4.40 lakh crore for various development projects in Chhattisgarh, indicating a commitment to growth and self-reliance.
Shah's visit to Chhattisgarh highlighted the government's focus on promoting indigenous goods and boosting local economy. With Rs 606 crore transferred to women beneficiaries and a rural bus service inaugurated, the state is poised for growth. Similar 'Swadeshi Melas' across India aim to foster local enterprise and self-reliance, aligning with the government's strategic economic vision.
