CM Vishnu Deo Sai on Sunday chaired a 9-hour marathon Collectors’ Conference 2025 at Mahanadi Bhawan, setting a clear tone for transparency, discipline, and public accountability.The meeting, which began ahead of schedule, underscored the CM’s insistence on punctuality and results-oriented governance. Chief Secretary Vikas Sheel, Departmental Secretaries, Divisional Commissioners, and District Collectors attended the session.
CM Vishnu Deo Sai made it clear from the outset that good governance means timely, transparent delivery of benefits to citizens — warning that any form of negligence would not be accepted. “This conference isn’t just for review; it’s a platform to define new standards of public service,” he told officers, adding that results must be visible on the ground, not merely in reports.
Paddy Procurement: Zero Tolerance for Irregularities
The CM Vishnu Deo Sai announced that paddy procurement will begin on November 15, directing that all preparations be completed well in time. “If any irregularity is found, the collector concerned will be held directly responsible,” Sai warned. Each procurement centre, he said, must be closely monitored through Integrated Command and Control Centres, particularly in border districts, to prevent illegal paddy inflow from other states.
He instructed special monitoring of particularly vulnerable tribal farmers, ensuring 100% registration through camps in PVTG areas. On the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi, Sai said no eligible farmer should be left out and asked Commissioners of Bastar and Surguja divisions to hold continuous reviews.
Reviewing the Energy Department, he directed that the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana reach the maximum number of beneficiaries. Banks must facilitate easy financing in rural areas to ensure no household is left out, he said.
Health, Malaria-Free Bastar and Public Health Monitoring
Health services remain a top priority, the CM Vishnu Deo Sai stressed. All hospitals must ensure 100% institutional deliveries, and field verification of vaccination data must be conducted. He ordered maternal death audits in every case to devise prevention strategies and sought effective operation of NRC centres and wellness centres for non-communicable disease awareness.
He placed special emphasis on malaria elimination in Bastar, directing identification of hotspots and focused campaigns to achieve a “Malaria-Free Chhattisgarh”. Under the PM Vaya Vandana Yojana, Sai instructed priority registration and card distribution for all eligible senior citizens.
Education: Zero Dropouts, 100% Enrolment, and Classroom Accountability
Sai gave strict directives to reduce dropouts to zero and achieve 100% Gross Enrolment Ratio, aligning with the National Education Policy. “Teaching material should not stay locked in cupboards—it must be seen in classrooms,” he said. Collectors were told to ensure proper classroom use and regular monitoring of learning resources.
He praised Bijapur district’s initiative of introducing Gondi-language teaching to boost attendance and reduce dropouts, urging other districts to adopt similar innovations. All students must be registered under Aadhaar-based APAR IDs by December 31, forming the foundation for uniform distribution of uniforms, books, and scholarships.
Sai announced a “CM Vishnu Deo Sai’s Education Quality Campaign”, featuring social audits and grading of schools. Districts performing well will serve as models for others. Teachers with exemplary performance will be rewarded, and biometric attendance of staff will be strictly enforced. School Management Committees will be reactivated, and officials must engage with parents of absent students to ensure full attendance.
