Why in News
- On August 21, 2021 Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel announced that Manendragarh, one of the four new districts announced recently, will now be known as 'Manendragarh-Chirmiri-Bharatpur'.
Key Points
- Chief Minister Baghel made this announcement while addressing a delegation of people from two newly declared districts – 'Manendragarh' and 'Shakti' at his official residence.
- He said that the main idea behind the announcement of new districts was to work fast in the areas of education, health, employment and other sectors.
- He said that Chhattisgarh is the ninth largest state in the country geographically, where there is a sparse population in many areas. Due to the geographical locations, the government faces difficulties in taking the government schemes to the general public. The creation of new districts will reduce the distance between the administration and the people and will help in strengthening the governance.
- Significantly, on August 15, 2021, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel had announced the formation of four new districts including Manendragarh by reorganizing the districts in the state.
