The event, graced by Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, Assembly Speaker Raman Singh, and Governor Raman Deka, marked a significant occasion in the state's history.

Raman Singh, the Assembly Speaker, addressed an audience filled with dignitaries and honorees, extending his greetings to the MLAs, journalists, and cameramen awarded at the ceremony.

Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai called the ceremony a 'moment of inspiration,' intending to motivate MLAs and journalists to further dedicate themselves to the state's advancement. He remarked on the day's importance, saying, 'Raising public interest issues is the duty of MLAs. Chhattisgarh is a young state, and we are celebrating our silver jubilee year.'
