Chief Minister Mr. Vishnu Deo Sai called the MoU a major milestone in achieving the objectives of the Chhattisgarh Anjor Vision. He stated that the initiative will bring about a revolution in education, skill development, and innovation, empowering youth across the state’s rural and urban areas.

Mr. Sai also encouraged active participation from industries, emphasising the need for a collective effort to enhance the state’s education and skills ecosystem.

From Resource-Based to Innovation-Driven Economy

Highlighting the broader vision, Mr. Sai affirmed that Chhattisgarh is transitioning from a resource-dependent economy to one driven by innovation and advanced technologies. He noted the state’s expanding interest in emerging sectors such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence, green hydrogen, defence, aerospace, and pharmaceuticals.

“In the last 20 months, Chhattisgarh has introduced over 350 reforms, creating a highly favourable investment climate,” Mr. Sai added. “We must pledge to transform Chhattisgarh into a hub of innovation, where entrepreneurship defines progress and youth lead the charge.”

Mr. Ramdeo Agrawal, Co-Founder and Chairman of the Motilal Oswal Foundation, announced plans to set up the nation’s largest farmer training centre in Raipur.

The foundation will allocate 10% of its total funds to social impact initiatives focused on education, skill development, and agriculture.

In a significant financial boost to the project, the Motilal Oswal Foundation declared a donation of Rs 172 crore—Rs 101 crore for IIM Raipur and Rs 71 crore for NIT Raipur.

At IIM Raipur, the funds will support the development of:

  • A 202-room Oswal Hostel

This centre is projected to train over 10,000 youth by 2030, incubate more than 250 startups, and create over 5,000 skilled jobs, aligning with the region’s industrial strengths in mining, steel, and manufacturing.

A Model for Nationwide Development

This partnership marks a turning point for Chhattisgarh, setting a new standard for how government, academia, and philanthropy can collaborate to foster inclusive growth. With a clear roadmap and substantial backing, the initiative is poised to transform the educational and industrial landscape of the state—one village, one youth, and one innovation at a time.
