It is being organised in association with the convention Raipur, Bhilai, and Bilaspur.In an official statement, the Chief Minister said, "ICAI has taken up a very contemporary topic for discussion. Many challenges are present in front of us in the present time, which we can solve by strong willpower and right decisions. These challenges include corona pandemic, climate change, environmental pollution, industry, business, economic condition of farmers and many other."Madhya Bharat Central Council Secretary Shashikant Chandrakar, Bilaspur Branch President Dinesh Kumar Agarwal, Raipur Branch Secretary Ravi Gwalani and Program Coordinator Sachendra Jain were present on this occasion. About 6500 Chartered Accountants from all the states of the country including ICAI National President Nihar Niranjan Jambusaria, National Vice President Devashish Mitra, Central Council Member Kemisha Soni, Program Director Sameer Singh participated virtually in this program."Under Suraji Gaon Yojana of Chhattisgarh government with the aim of rain water harvesting, conservation and promotion of livestock, organic farming, promotion of nutritious food grains, production of fruits and vegetables and increase in the means of livelihood in the village, Narva, Garuva, Ghurva and Bari programs have been started. Through Godhan Nyay Yojana, cow dung is being procured in Gauthans and organic manure is being prepared from it. One year has not yet been completed, 48 lakh quintals of cow dung has been purchased through this scheme. Its objective is to strengthen the tradition of cow rearing and promote the production of organic food grains by reducing the dependence on chemical fertilizers. Due to the reckless use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the amount of toxic elements in food grains is increasing, which is directly affecting our health," Baghel said during the event.He added, "In the 1970s, food grains had to be imported from abroad to meet the shortage of food grains in the country. Annadata accepted the challenge of making the country self-sufficient in food grains. Today the situation is that the country has started producing more food grains than it needs. Farmers should get the price in proportion to their hard work. Paddy is produced more in Chhattisgarh. We have prepared a plan to prepare ethanol from the extra quantity of paddy procured for two years, but the central government has not given permission. The production of ethanol will reduce the consumption of petroleum products and save money. These challenges should be addressed at the national level."The Chief Minister further gave detailed information about the Tree Plantation Promotion scheme launched by the state government to promote tree plantation in order to protect the environment and to address the problem of air pollution.On this occasion, Baghel urged the Chartered Accountants Association to motivate the investors related to industry and business in the state of Chhattisgarh to invest.
