The Prime Minister is scheduled to participate in five major events during his visit, including the inauguration of the new Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly building and the launch of the State Festival marking the state’s Silver Jubilee celebrations.
According to official information, Prime Minister Modi will also inaugurate the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Museum and the “Shanti Shikhar” Training Centre for a Peaceful World established by the Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Ishwariya Vishwavidyalaya. Additionally, he will interact with children who have undergone heart surgeries at the Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospital.
Additional Chief Secretary Manoj Pingua chaired a high-level review meeting at the State Festival venue in Naya Raipur (Atal Nagar) to assess the progress of preparations and provide detailed guidelines. He informed that the Prime Minister will arrive in Raipur on the night of October 31 and attend all scheduled events the following day.

Prakash, Technical Education and Skill Development Secretary Dr. S. Bharti Dasan, Raipur Commissioner Mahadev Kavre, and Raipur Senior Superintendent of Police Dr. Lal Umed Singh were also present.
Pingua instructed officials to ensure smooth traffic management, parking arrangements, and comprehensive civic amenities such as drinking water, toilets, and sanitation at the Rajyotsav fairground and other venues. He emphasized that all intersections in Naya Raipur should be cleaned and beautified ahead of the Prime Minister’s arrival. He also directed that the fairground be divided into well-defined sectors, with staff assigned to specific duties to facilitate public movement and ensure security.
