The Chhattisgarh government has launched the ‘Adarsh Shahar Samriddhi Yojana’ with a budgetary allocation of ₹200 crore for the 2026–27 period to develop modern civic infrastructure in emerging towns and urban centres.
The state’s Urban Administration and Development Department has released the guidelines and the phase-1 execution layout for the scheme.
The Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution (MoCAF&PD) has expanded procurement operations under the PM Annadata Aay Sanrakshan Abhiyan (PM-AASHA) in Chhattisgarh and launched the first structured pulse procurement under the Atmanirbhar Pulses Mission (APM) in Bihar.
The procurement drive is led by the National Cooperative Consumers’ Federation of India Ltd (NCCF) and the National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India Ltd (NAFED). In Bihar, the NCCF has started the first organized procurement of masoor (lentil) under the APM. In Chhattisgarh, the process includes digitized farmer registration through the Electronic-Samyukti (E-Samyukti) portal and awareness campaigns.
