Chhattisgarh government on Thursday approved the “Chhattisgarh Naxalite Surrender and Victim Relief and Rehabilitation Policy 2025” to encourage naxalites to surrender, reintegrate into mainstream society, and provide relief to victims of Naxal violence.
The current policy replaces the previous “Chhattisgarh Naxalism Eradication Policy-2023”.
Under this policy which has been approved by the cabinet, surrendered naxalites will receive financial assistance, rehabilitation support, education, employment opportunities, and security.
The government aims to ensure that those leaving violence behind can build a stable and dignified life. Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai emphasized that the state government is committed to completely eradicating Naxalism, and this policy is a crucial step in that direction.
The meeting also decided that special schemes will be introduced to help surrendered naxalites reintegrate into society. They will be provided training for self-employment and skill development, ensuring they do not return to violence. Additionally, victims of Naxal violence will receive support and rehabilitation assistance.
The government asserts that it will not only encourage Naxalites to join the mainstream but also promote peace and development in the state.
