Chhattisgarh
Chhattisgarh is one of India's fastest growing states. Mineral rich and bursting with great agricultural potential, the state has been a victim of long-time neglect.
Chief Minister Raman Singh now has his task cut out for himself with the state being categorized as 'Highly Corrupt.'
The state is now giving special attention to education and breeding talent, and also has big plans to be biofuel self-sufficient by 2015 by planting crops of jatropha (source: Wikipedia).
