In concern to development for rural population including farmers, Chief Minister Shri Sai said that state government is formulating and executing development policies in compliance of vision of development of Antyodaya by Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya.

Referring to Awas Plus, CM Vishnu Deo Sai assured that said that in the year 2024, many people who were deprived of the benefits of the housing scheme will soon be added to the beneficiary list. These people were out of the scope of the housing scheme due to owing vehicle, falling in income slab and other resources related to land, for them survey work has been started under the Awas Plus scheme. He told that farmers with 2.5 acres of irrigated and 5 acres of non-irrigated land will also be the beneficiaries of the housing scheme. The Chief Minister said that our government is committed to providing good governance to the last person by focusing on education, health, irrigation resources and maintenance of roads.
