The Chhattisgarh Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, has approved significant proposals to enhance revenue, education, technology entrepreneurship, and public health infrastructure in the state. One notable decision is the approval of the Chhattisgarh Excise Policy for the financial year 2026-27, enabling the Excise Department to proceed with necessary actions for revenue optimization and regulatory compliance.
In a move to boost the education sector, the Cabinet has allocated around 40 acres of land in Sector-18 of Nava Raipur Atal Nagar to Shri Vile Parle Kelavani Mandal (SVKM) on a 90-year lease. This land will be utilized for establishing a campus for the renowned Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS), known for its national ranking in the NIRF University Rankings.
To foster the IT/ITeS sector and support startups, the Cabinet has agreed to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Software Technology Parks of India (STPI). This partnership aims to create four new entrepreneurship centers in Nava Raipur Atal Nagar, focusing on domain-specific innovation and promoting startups in areas like AI, MedTech, Smart City solutions, and Smart Agri.
Furthermore, the Cabinet has taken steps to enhance diagnostic services in government health institutions across the state. The approved proposals include strengthening laboratory operations at various healthcare facilities, improving resources, and increasing the number of tests conducted to enhance diagnostic accessibility and elevate public healthcare delivery standards.
