their own enterprises so that they don’t have to depend
upon the others and can own their own stand.

sectors like Steel, Power, Cement and Aluminium. For
improving the pace of progress in the state, about 120
Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) were signed since
the inception of the State and 60 MoUs had been
implemented and expanded.
The 60 MoUs are under various stages of
implementation. The estimated amount of Rs 44,000
Crore was invested in State till now for the purpose of

The weaker sections of the society should be motivated
and given equal partnership in progress in Chhattisgarh in
the coming years. It must deal with issues such as
providing employment to women, Naxal-affected families,
Ex-servicemen, Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes.

of the society so that they can also take active
participation in all the activities regarding progress in
Chhattisgarh.
