Chhattisgarh turns unused security camps into Seva Kendras to deliver services in tribal areas

Chhattisgarh CM Vishnu Deo Sai has proposed converting underutilised police and CAPF camps in tribal areas into “Seva Kendras” that provide government services locally. The plan, presented to Union home minister Amit Shah, follows improved security after the region was declared Maoist-free, leaving many camps with limited use. A first phase will identify low-usage sites, then bring repairs, connectivity, electricity and water before integrating departments. Services include certificates, ration and Aadhaar updates, banking, ticket booking, health programs, and skilling.
