Education is the mantra of social development: Chhattisgarh CM Sai

Raipur, Oct 5 (UNI) “Life is incomplete without education. Education is not merely a means to secure a job, but a path to success in life. Education is the mantra of social development. Whether it is the art of living, business, agriculture, or any other field, education plays a vital role in every sphere of success,” said Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, addressing the National Fishermen Awareness Conference at the Balbir Singh Juneja Indoor Stadium in Raipur. The Chief Minister said the state government has been consistently working to strengthen the education sector since the formation of Chhattisgarh. “At the time of state formation, there was only one medical college in Chhattisgarh. Today, the state has around 15 medical colleges,” he said. “Institutions of national and international repute, such as IIT, IIIT, IIM, Law University, AIIMS, and CIPET have been established in Chhattisgarh, benefitting local students immensely.”
Sai further informed that construction of Nalanda Campuses is underway in every district of the state, offering both direction and opportunity to the youth.
Highlighting the importance of social unity, the Chief Minister said, “Society must remain organized, because a strong society builds a strong nation.” He cautioned that addiction remains a major obstacle to social progress and urged the community to take a pledge towards de-addiction and social reform.
