PM Narendra Modi’s Visit to Chhattisgarh: A Vision for the State’s Silver Jubilee

A Historic Day for Chhattisgarh

November 1, 2025, marks a defining moment for Chhattisgarh — the day the state celebrates its 25th Foundation Day, also known as the Rajat Mahotsav. This year, the occasion carries special significance as Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits the state to inaugurate and lay foundation stones for projects worth an impressive ₹14,260 crore.

A Packed Itinerary with Purpose

The Prime Minister’s visit begins in Nava Raipur – Atal Nagar, the heart of Chhattisgarh’s new capital. He will first meet 2,500 children who underwent life-saving heart surgeries through the Gift of Life initiative at the Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospital — an event that highlights the human side of development.

He will also inaugurate “Shanti Shikhar”, a new meditation and spiritual centre built by the Brahma Kumaris to promote peace, mindfulness, and holistic living.

Honouring Legacy and Leadership

PM Modi will unveil a statue of Atal Bihari Vajpayee at the new Chhattisgarh Vidhan Sabha — a solar-powered green building symbolizing sustainable governance. He will also visit the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Memorial & Tribal Freedom Fighters Museum and release an e-book titled Aadi Shourya, dedicated to the state’s tribal heroes.

A Vision Beyond Infrastructure

PM Modi’s visit is not only about roads and pipelines — it symbolizes empowerment. These projects are expected to bridge the development gap between tribal and urban regions, integrating Chhattisgarh more closely with India’s growth framework.

Looking Ahead

The announcements carry enormous promise, but the real transformation will depend on swift implementation and community participation. If executed effectively, these initiatives could make Chhattisgarh a leading example of green, inclusive, and future-ready development in central India.
