Chhattisgarh: Fastest Developing State of India Dr Chhattisgarh: Fastest Developing State of India Dr. Raman Singh Chief Minister Our state Chhattisgarh was formed after a long political and cultural struggle. This region with rich cultural heritage, which was once known as Dakshin Kaushal, occupied 30 per cent of the undivided Madhya Pradesh. Despite being blessed with resources in abundance, it was one of the most backward and neglected areas. The demand for separate state was raised time and again, but it was our Ex-Prime Minister Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee, under whose tenure Chhattisgarh state came into existence on November 1, 2000. The state had to go through teething troubles in initial years, before its journey to create history commenced. Disappointed with the leadership during the initial few years after formation of state, people of Chhattisgarh entrusted me with their aspirations and hopes and elected me as Chief Minister of the state. It was undoubtedly a great responsibility. Chhattisgarh was superior to many states in terms of its natural and mineral resources. The state has nearly 44% of its area under forest cover. Its cultural, historical and archaeological glory has been incomparable. But sadly, the state was still among one of the most backward ones in the country and it used to get highlight mostly for the incidents of naxal violence. When I took charge as Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, I had two major goals in my mind- 1) Optimal utilization of resources to ensure all-round socio-economic development and thereby, transform its image at national-level, 2) To uproot naxalism from state to ensure secured and peaceful environment in the affected areas. Our collective persistent and sincere efforts have resulted in expansion of state’s budget size from 64 december 31, 2016 vol lI no 53 EPW Economic & Political Weekly CHARTING THE GROWTH STORY OF CHHATTISGARH: THEN AND NOW BUDGET SIZE (CR) PER CAPITA DEBT TO GSDP INCOME 70,058 25.40% 81,756 15.02% 12,000 7,328 2002- 03 2016- 17 2003- 04 2015- 16 2003- 04 2015- 16 TAX REVENUE TO Social expenditure % GSDP GSDP Development expenditure % GSDP 10.00% 8.50% 21.4% 6.80% 17.4% 14.7% 5.00% 11.9% 0.00% 2003- 04 2015- 16 2003-04 2015-16 Rs 7,328 crores in year 2003-03 to Rs 70,058 crore in year 2016-17. Our focused approach to generate employment opportunities as well as skilled manpower, has resulted in increase of per capita average annual income from nearly Rs 12,000 in year 2003-04 to nearly Rs 81,756 in year 2015- 16. Chhattisgarh has undergone significant progress in every key sector like health, education, infrastructure, skill development, energy, agriculture and commerce & industry. In year 2003-04, Chhattisgarh had debt to GSDP ratio of 25.4% but today Chhattisgarh’s debt to GSDP ratio has shrunk to 15.03% (2015-16) which in the lowest in the country. Lower debt level was result of our effort to accelerate tax recovery. Consequently, tax-revenue (% of GDP) has increased from 6.8% in year 2003-04 to 8.5% at present. Chhattisgarh is among the top six states of the country in terms of tax-revenue (% of GDP). As per Reserve Bank of India, state’s development expenditure to GSDP ratio has increased from 17.4% to 21.4%, under our government’s tenure. Presently, Chhattisgarh holds the top rank in terms of development expenditure to GSDP ratio. Likewise, social expenditure in terms of GSDP has also increased from 11.9% to 14.7%. Chhattisgarh ranks second in terms of social expenditure. We have paid equal attention towards development of infrastructure, which is evident from Chhattisgarh’s top ranking in the country in terms of capital expenditure to GSDP ratio. It is the result of optimal utilization of resources by the government that despite struggling through drought in year 2015-16, Chhattisgarh’s estimated GSDP growth is 7.07% which is comparable to nation’s GDP growth. Economic & Political Weekly EPW december 31, 2016 vol lI no 53 65 HEALTH SERVICES Chhattisgarh Government, to achieve the goal of ‘Healthy Chhattisgarh’, has launched a campaign for the quantum leap in state of health services. We believe that health services are one of the basic needs of society where quality and ease of access are equally important.With this philosophy we started free health insurance scheme for all the families in Chhattisgarh. Under National Health Insurance Scheme and Chief Minister Health Insurance Scheme, we have touched nearly 40.25 lakh families providing insurance cover of Rs 30 thousand to each. Health services for women and children have been developed and improved upon consistently.

Total vaccination has also increased from 56% to 74% and institutional deliveries have risen from 14% to 74%. Prevalence rate of leprosy has significantly decreased from 7.72 to 2.8 per thousand. ● We have paid special attention towards expansion of health services and development of related infrastructure. In our tenure, number of district hospitals has been increased from 7 to 24, community health centers from 114 to 155, primary health centres from 512 to 790 and number of sub-health centers has been increased from 3,818 to 5,186. 66 december 31, 2016 vol lI no 53 EPW Economic & Political Weekly ● Dial-108 Sanjeevani express has saved lives of total 10 lakh 73 thousand people till date. ● Mahtari Express Scheme, which we initiated on 23 August 2013 to provide emergency ambulance service to pregnant women in need, has been availed by nearly 12 lakh beneficiaries. ● Under ChirayuAbhiyan, we have conducted health check-up of 97 lakh children and provided medical treatment facility to more than 16 lakh children. ● Under Mukhyamantri Bal Bhavishya Suraksha Yojana, 6,370 children have been benefitted and under Mukhyamantri Bal Shravan Yojana 112 children have been benefited. ● Jan Aushadhi Kendras have been established at 98 places in Chhattisgarh for generic medicines. ● This year regional virology lab has been established in Jagdalpur Medical College.

Consequently, my dream of establishing medical colleges in all four directions of the state has come true. ● DKS building in Raipur has also been upgraded as Super-Specialty Hospital. We have established State Cancer Hospital in Bilaspur. Our achievement has been recognized by number of awards in the field of health services.

  • Chapter – I Introduction
    CHAPTER – I INTRODUCTION WHAT IS BIODIVERSITY: Biological diversity or “biodiversity” has been defined as: “The variability among living organisms from all sources including Inter alia, Terrestrial, Marine and other Aquatic Ecosystems and the Ecological Complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species, between species, and of Ecosystems”. Diversity within species (or genetic diversity) refers to variability in the functional units of heredity present in any material of plant, animal, microbial or other origin. Species diversity is used to describe the variety of species - whether wild or domesticated) within a geographical area. Estimates of the total number of species (defined as a population of organisms which are able to interbreed freely under natural conditions) range from 2 to 100 million, though less than 1.5 million have actually been described. Ecosystem diversity refers to the enormous variety of plant, animal and micro organism communities and ecological processes that make them function. In short, biodiversity refers to the variety of life on earth. This variety provides the building blocks to adapt to changing environmental conditions in the future. The conservation of biodiversity is the fundamental to achieve sustainable development. It provides flexibility and options for our current (and future) use of natural resources. About 80% of the population in Chhattisgarh lives in rural areas, and a large part of this population, depends directly or indirectly on natural resources. Conservation of biodiversity is crucial for the sustainability of sectors as diverse as agriculture, forestry, fisheries, wildlife, industry, health, tourism, commerce, irrigation and power. Development of Chhattisgarh in future, will depend on the foundation provided by live resources, and conservation of biodiversity will ensure that this foundation remains strong.
