The GeM Sustainable Procurement Award adds another dimension to Chhattisgarh’s ongoing efforts to make governance more transparent, technology-driven and outcome-oriented under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai. The State Government is increasingly leveraging digital platforms to simplify processes, strengthen accountability, promote fair competition and ensure optimum utilisation of public resources. The results are visible in both fiscal savings and wider economic participation: ₹130 crore saved in one year, procurement worth ₹1,800 crore from MSEs, and unprecedented growth in government orders to women entrepreneurs, SC/ST enterprises and startups. The State Government will continue to expand GeM adoption across departments and institutions while encouraging more local enterprises, MSMEs and startups to participate in government procurement.
