Chhattisgarh budget and economy
Chhattisgarh is rich in minerals and forests. It produces a large share of India's coal, iron ore and bauxite, and forest produce such as tendu leaves is an important source of income for tribal families. Rice is the main crop, and the state is often called the rice bowl of central India.
