As Chhattisgarh gears up to celebrate its 25th Foundation Day in 2025, preparations are in full swing for an elaborate five-day Rajyotsav (Foundation Day) event, which is expected to witness the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The state government is planning a major celebration to mark this silver jubilee year, with a special focus on showcasing development, culture, and the state’s proud history.

PM Modi’s Visit Expected to Bring Major Developmental Announcements

The visit of Prime Minister Modi, likely in November, could coincide with the inauguration of the new Assembly building in Nava Raipur, where the winter session is also proposed to be held. Speculation is rife that the PM may also announce a major developmental package as a gift to the people of Chhattisgarh on this significant occasion.

Bastar in Focus; Push for Development and Naxal-Free Deadline

The spotlight remains on Bastar, with the BJP-led government aiming to transform the region’s image within 120 days before the PM’s visit. This coincides with the timeline of the state’s anti-Naxal campaign, which is set to conclude by March 31, 2026. Officials view the silver jubilee celebrations as an opportunity to present Bastar’s developmental turnaround as a symbolic victory.

Chhattisgarh: From Statehood Movement to Nation’s Rice Bowl

Chhattisgarh officially became India’s 26th state on 1 November 2000, following the passage of the Madhya Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2000. The demand for a separate state was rooted in its unique cultural identity, tribal population, distinct language, and abundant natural resources, which differentiated it from Madhya Pradesh.

The movement for statehood dates back to 1924, but it gained serious momentum after the formation of the Chhattisgarhi Samaj Party in 1965, under late Ramanand Shukla. Activists like Jageshwar Prasad recount decades of protests, rallies, and representations to the Centre, including:

  • Pamphlets thrown in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly in 1989
  • Massive demonstrations in Bhopal and Delhi
  • The Parliament March of 24 July 2000 with 8,000+ participants

Eventually, the Bill to form Chhattisgarh was passed on 31 July 2000, and the state came into existence on 1 November 2000.

Ancient Roots and Cultural Significance

Historically known as Dakshin Kosal, Chhattisgarh is steeped in religious and cultural heritage. It is believed to be the maternal home of Lord Ram, as Mother Kaushalya hailed from Chandkhuri, near Raipur. During his exile, Ram is said to have spent a significant portion of time in the forests of Chhattisgarh.

Looking Ahead: A Vision for the Next 25 Years

With its silver jubilee celebrations, Chhattisgarh is looking ahead with ambition. The government aims to use this opportunity to redefine its image, push for development in tribal and conflict-prone regions, and reaffirm its identity as a progressive, culturally rich state.

As the countdown to Rajyotsav 2025 begins, Chhattisgarh is poised to celebrate its journey with pride—and chart a roadmap for a brighter future.
