Ponting out that villages and farmers were the main priorities of these great leaders, he added: “Former Prime Minister late Rajiv Gandhi had also said that when farmers become weak, the country loses its self-reliance.”Baghel said that his government came to power in the state in December 2018 and announced that it will realise Mahatma Gandhi’s dream of ‘Gram Swaraj’.”To realise Mahatma Gandhi’s dream, our government has launched the ‘Suraji Gaon Yojana’ to revive traditional sources of income. Under the scheme, more than 7,777 rural industrial parks have been developed. It is helping rural artisans and self-help groups across the state,” he said.Talking about the ‘Gauthan’ scheme of the Chhattisgarh government, he said: “Cow dung procured from the farmers are used to generate electricity and manure, and soon we will start manufacturing ‘prakritik paint’. Organic manure has reduced farmers’ dependence on chemical fertilisers and these activities have also increased the income of the farmers,” he said.
