Bhupesh Baghel (born 23 August 1960), popularly known as Kaka, is an Indian politician who served as the 3rd Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh from 2018 to 2023.

[7][8] His wife, Mukteshwari Baghel, is the daughter of famous Hindi writer Dr. Narendra Dev Verma and niece of spiritual leader Swami Atmanand.

[9] Baghel won Patan Vidhan Sabha seat in the 2013 election and became a member of the Working Committee, Chhattisgarh Assembly.

The order letter was released within hours of the oath-taking ceremony, though actual money transfers to farmers took days, weeks, and months in some cases.

[22] The Narva, Garva, Ghurva, Bari (NGGB) scheme was launched to ensure water conservation, livestock protection and development, use of organic compost through household waste, and cultivation of fruits and vegetables in backyards for self-consumption and earning additional income.

[24] As of September 2022, under Garva (livestock) project, a total of 10,624 villages in the state have received approval for the construction of gauthan, of which 8,408 are already operational and 1758 are in the planning stages.

[30] The objective of Rajiv Gandhi Kisan Nyay Yojana is to encourage crop production and increase agricultural acreage.

[31] Under the scheme, a provision was made to give input subsidy to farmers producing paddy, sugarcane, maize, soyabean, pulses and oilseeds in the Kharif season 2021-22.

Later, the provision of this scheme was modified to include Kodo, Kutki and Ragi, and an input subsidy of Rs.9,000 per acre is also being provided to millet farmers.

[32] The government of Chhattisgarh has also decided to include the landless agricultural labourers of the state in the second phase of the Rajiv Gandhi Kisan Nyay Yojana.

After the procurement, the cow dung will be converted to vermicompost and other products by members of the Women Self-Help Group, which will be sold to farmers as an organic manure for ₹8 per kilogram, thus discouraging the use of chemical fertilizers.

[37] Under the scheme, 1,62,497 cattle rearers of the state are benefiting, which includes 70,299 landless villagers and 44.55 percent of the beneficiaries of the Godhan Nyay Yojana are women.

[39] On the occasion of Hareli, a traditional festival of Chhattisgarh, the Chief Minister started the purchase of gaumutra (cow urine) under the scheme.

[42] Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also praised the Godhan Nyaya Yojana in the seventh meeting of the Governing Council of NITI Aayog.

[49] Baghel’s vision behind this scheme is to establish educational institutions in Chhattisgarh that have excellent facilities at par with private schools but are accessible and affordable for the parents of economically weaker sections of society as well.

Baghel who has taken the charges as the Chief Minister has already successfully backed and hosted Road Safety World Series at the state capital Raipur.

[53] Under an MoU signed between the then govt and Tata Steel in 2005, agricultural land was acquired from the local tribals 10 villages around Lohandiguda in Bastar region.

Despite protests from the villagers, the govt went ahead with the acquisition to build a 5.5 million tonne per annum capacity mega integrated steel plant.

Immediately after coming to power, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel took a decision to return 4400 acres of the land to 1707 tribal families.

Section 101 stipulates that if any land acquired remains underutilised for a period of 5 years from the date of taking over the possession the same shall be returned to the original owners of their legal heirs.

Due to neglect and difficult terrain, the population living in such areas doesn't have access to quality health care.

Staffed by specialist doctors and other qualified staff with necessary equipment, these mobile clinics provide healthcare checkups and medicine to people.

Under the scheme, a team of female doctors and staff arrives in the vehicle of Dai-Didi Clinic's mobile medical unit and provides free treatment for various diseases to needy women and girls.

[59] Through the scheme, about 1,475 camps have been set up in the state so far and more than 1.28 lakh women and girls living in slums of Raipur, Bilaspur and Bhilai Municipal Corporation areas have been treated near their homes.

[62] National Health Family Survey (NHFS)- 4 (2015–16), Chhattisgarh is one of the top states in India with high level of malnutrition and anaemia among children and women.

The scheme launched on 2 October 2019 on the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi’s 150 birth anniversary aims to turn Chhattisgarh into malnutrition and anaemia free state in the next three years.

During the lockdown, the state government announced several measures to provide relief to the affected individuals particularly the impoverished and migrant workers.

The 'Roko Au Toko Abhiyan' or 'Stop and Advice' campaign was started to raise awareness and encourage community involvement in the state's five most severely afflicted cities.

This community radio channel was started in June 2020 under the major initiative of the Chhattisgarh State Government's Padhai Tunhar Dwar.
