The BJP Government in Chhattisgarh has decided to replicate the 'Sangat Darshan' programme of Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, aimed at public welfare and development.
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh had sent a two-member team to understand the basics of this major initiative undertaken exclusively in Punjab, a Punjab Government release said today.
Singh's Officer on Special Duty (OSD) Arun Bisen and Director Public Relations Rajesh Sukuma Toppo accompanied the Punjab Chief Minister during his Sangat Darshan program here today.
Both the senior IAS officers minutely observed this exercise in which the Chief Minister directly interacts with the masses to redress their grievances and give fillip to development.

During the Sangat Darshan, the officers from Chhattisgarh had detailed discussions with the officers of the state and district administration regarding the entire exercise, the release said.
The release said that the visiting team was highly impressed by the fact that a Chief Minister of state visits every village to meet the people by undertaking such a comprehensive exercise.

The release quoted Bisen and Toppo as having said that this program has a huge potential of public welfare and needs to be replicated in Chhattisgarh.
They said that this exercise of interaction with the masses at the grass-root level is highly beneficial for the general public, the release added.

During interaction with the visiting officers, the Chief Minister categorically said that the SAD-BJP government had started a flagship program of Sangat Darshan to redress the grievances of the people in a time-bound manner.
Badal said it is a unique program that is being carried in the state with the sole motive of ensuring the overall development of the state and welfare of its people.
The Chief Minister said that it is on record that besides giving a major fillip to the overall development of the state, the Sangat Darshan programmes have also been instrumental in mitigating the woes of common people.
