The General Assembly meeting of the District Panchayat was held on Thursday under the chairmanship of District Panchayat President Smt. Kiran Vaishnav in the District Panchayat Hall.

During the meeting, farmers raised the need for crop diversification, emphasizing the cultivation of pulses, oilseeds, maize, and other less water-intensive crops in place of summer paddy. Officials informed members about the special campaign to make Rajnandgaon a “summer paddy-free procurement district”, encouraging farmers to adopt crop rotation practices.

To boost productivity in the upcoming rabi season, farmers were urged to cultivate pulses such as gram, moong, lentils, and horticulture crops. The Public Health Engineering Department was instructed to complete testing of water supply schemes after repairs and to prioritize the maintenance of CC roads.

The assembly also discussed the allocation of fair price shops, while progress reports from various departments including Education, Minerals, Power, Health, Agriculture, Forests, and PMGSY (Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana) were reviewed in detail.
