Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai launched a 41-day "Good Governance Festival" in which the state government would, as a special promotional event, deliver government services to people who needed them.
"Sushasan Tihar 2026" began May 1 and runs through June 10, during which ministers, MLAs, MPs, and bureaucrats have fanned out across every village cluster and urban ward in Chhattisgarh to hold Jan Samadhan Camps — resolving, on the spot, backlogs of missing ration cards, pending land mutations, MGNREGA wage arrears, broken handpumps, and pension delays. The CM instructed all district collectors that "most cases" would be resolved within a month. Some cases opened during the festival will technically be resolved after the festival concludes, a timeline paradox the government has not publicly addressed. Officials have also noted that the problems the festival is now urgently fixing are the same problems that accumulated during the rest of the year, when there was no festival to concentrate minds. The festival ends June 10; what happens to good governance on June 11 has not yet been announced.
