Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Saturday said that Panchayati Raj Institutions are the backbone of rural development, as the three-day training for District Panchayat leaders began here in Raipur.

Speaking to reporters, CM Sai said, "A three-day training program for the newly elected district Panchayat president 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 district. Therefore, this workshop is organised so they can perform their duties properly."

In another workshop event, 'How to do Parliamentary Reporting', CM Sai mentioned that the media plays a crucial role in highlighting the work of the legislators.

"Several of our MLAs are newly elected, but you all see that they work very hard and come to the Assembly and put forth the problems of their area in the Assembly, and you (media) present their efforts in front of the public in a very good manner," he said.

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

Earlier, while chairing a high-level review meeting of the Electronics and Information Technology Department at Mantralaya Mahanadi Bhawan, CM Sai directed officials to accelerate the rollout of mobile towers and fibre optic networks, particularly in remote and underserved regions 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. (ANI)
