Raipur. Employees are the backbone of governance and it is only through their honesty, hard work and sensitivity that the plans, policies and decisions of the government actually come to fruition. The administrative structure of Chhattisgarh is able to function effectively only because of the hard work, dedication and discipline of all of you. Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai said this while addressing the triennial eighth state convention organized by the State Employees Union, Chhattisgarh at the Saraswati Shiksha Sansthan campus located at Rohinipuram in the capital Raipur.

He said that this decision will provide real relief to the employees amid rising inflation. He said that this decision reflects the employee-friendly commitment of the government. Addressing the convention, Chief Minister Sai said that this convention is a powerful opportunity for organizational discussions as well as to strengthen the resolve for good governance. When the government and employees work shoulder to shoulder, only then the path of development is paved and the governance system becomes more powerful. He said that in the last two years the government has taken many important decisions in the interest of the employees. The administration has been made more transparent, streamlined and employee-friendly by improving transfer policies, promotion procedures and workplace arrangements. The formation of the Department of Good Governance and Convergence has further strengthened the public trust based governance system.
Chief Minister Sai said that special attention has been paid to timely payment of pension, gratuity and other retirement benefits, so that employees do not face any kind of inconvenience at the time of retirement. The state has also provided a strong legislative base in this direction by establishing the Chhattisgarh Pension Fund and passing the Pension Fund Bill in the Assembly. He said that the efficiency of the employees has been strengthened through e-office, online services and technological innovations, while they are being prepared for the changing times through training and capacity development programmes.

Saluting the bravery of the security forces from the stage, he said that a better and humane rehabilitation policy has been implemented for the surrendered Naxalites. As per the resolution of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, the target of complete eradication of Naxalism from the country has been set by 31 March 2026.
