In addition, the 'Mahtari Vandan Sammelan' on March 7 aims to empower women by delivering Rs 1,000 in monthly cash aid directly to eligible beneficiaries. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will speak via video conference, and the Chief Minister will attend the main ceremony.

However, during these initiatives, the Enforcement Directorate discovered wrongdoing in the District Mineral Foundation (DMF) budget. The agency identified unlawful gratifications totaling Rs 500-600 crore in Korba district alone, showing widespread corruption among officials and contractors. The misuse of cash highlights the importance of strong control and accountability procedures in resource management.
