Raipur, Oct 12 – The Bijapur district in Bastar, Chhattisgarh, is turning its past into a promise of progress. Once hit hard by left‑wing insurgents, the region now feels the buzz of new life thanks to several government programs, especially the Ujjwala Yojana scheme.
The Ujjwala Yojana brings free LPG connections to women. Instead of wandering with firewood for hours, families now cook safely with gas. The change isn’t just about convenience—it cuts down smoke‑related eye irritation and breathing problems. “Cooking with LPG saves time and keeps my children healthy,” says a local mother who now spends less time chasing smoke in the kitchen.
Other initiatives add to the momentum. The Good Governance Festival, “Niyad Nellanar,” and the Swachh Bharat Mission bring government officials directly into villages. These visits are more than speeches; they’re chances for people to raise concerns and see solutions take shape.
Rural women are stepping into Self‑Help Groups (SHGs), nutrition drives, and household markets. Their new roles go beyond cooking: many sell handmade goods, boosting family incomes and building financial confidence. Through SHGs, women market their products locally, turning small savings into real wealth.
The district’s growing transparency and public participation echo the national push for empowerment. Women today manage homes, finance, and village development projects—creating a ripple of self‑reliance across communities.
In short, Bijapur’s story shows how government schemes can rewrite a region’s future, turning past hardships into thriving everyday life.
