Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that agriculture is the foundation of our rural economy. He urged farmers to take up animal husbandry and milk production in addition to farming. This will bring prosperity to their fields, barns, and homes. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that to make the farmers of Madhya Pradesh prosperous, the government is paying special attention to the rearing of advanced livestock. To promote animal husbandry in the state, we will produce one lakh female calves every year and give them to farmers. This will increase milk production in the state, and only then will prosperity come to every farmer’s home. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav expressed these views while inaugurating a huge animal husbandry conference and animal fair in village Kulaith of Gwalior district on Friday.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav stated that the prosperity of farmers is paramount to us. We organized a healthy competition for dairy farmers in all the Vrindavan villages of the state and awarded the best cattle breeders (winners) with tractors, Bullet motorcycles, and scooters, along with cash prizes. We also organized the Balram Krishi Mahotsav in all the districts of the state. Through these efforts, we are continuously working to increase farmers’ income. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav stated that Madhya Pradesh has over 2.5 crore livestock. Of these, over 1 crore are cows and the rest are buffalo breed animals. Having such a large livestock population means that we will soon be the top milk producer in the country. At the conference, Chief Minister Dr. Yadav transferred assistance of ₹175 crore to the accounts of over 7,000 labourers under the Chief Minister’s Public Welfare (Sambal) Scheme and pension funds of ₹207.48 crore to over 34.58 lakh beneficiaries under the Social Security and Disabled Pension Scheme with a single click. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav enjoyed the bullock cart race competition being held in Kulaith.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav, responding to a demand from local public representatives, announced a grant of ₹5.1 million for the development of the Jagannath Temple in Kulaith. In the Gram Panchayat area, Chief Minister Dr. Yadav announced the construction of a 1-kilometer paved road from Nihithpur to Maheshwara, a paved road to the Lanka Wale Hanuman Temple, and another road. Responding to the villagers’ spontaneous demand, the Chief Minister also announced the construction of a community hall in the village.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that only high-quality dairy animals can bring the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi to farmers’ homes during Diwali. Animal husbandry, goat rearing, and poultry farming bring prosperity to farmers’ lives. The state government is expanding essential services, including electricity, water, and roads. These benefits are also being reaped by farmers, the sons of Balaram. During the Farmer Welfare Year, the state government is working to advance the food-providing community in every way. To make Madhya Pradesh the number one state in milk production, high-quality livestock is being provided to farmers. Information on high-quality cows and buffaloes is being provided at the Animal Husbandry Conference and Animal Fair held in Gwalior. The state government held competitions for quality livestock in Vrindavan villages across all development blocks on the occasion of Govardhan Puja and awarded prizes to the winning livestock farmers. Mr. Ramveer Singh, a livestock farmer from Tekanpur, received the first prize of one lakh rupees under the Gopal Krishna Award Scheme. His cow produces 14 liters of milk per day. Along with this, grand Balaram Krishi Mahotsavs were organized in all 55 districts of the state. The state government is continuously promoting progressive farmers. All types of arrangements, from seed to farm and from farm to export, are being encouraged.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that Madhya Pradesh currently ranks third in the country in milk production, with 9 percent. It is our resolve to make the state the milk capital. This cattle farmers’ conference has been organized to promote farmer prosperity, milk production, and animal husbandry. The state’s cattle breeds need to be improved. Union Home and Cooperation Minister Shri Amit Shah has assured Madhya Pradesh of providing 100,000 improved breed female calves. These calves will be distributed to farmers, boosting milk production. Gujarat has fewer livestock than Madhya Pradesh, but its milk production is higher than Madhya Pradesh’s. Large cow shelters are being opened in the state. Cow shelters with a capacity of 10,000 have been constructed in Ujjain, Indore, Bhopal, Jabalpur, and Gwalior. Along with cow husbandry, natural and organic farming is also being encouraged.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that the state government has launched the Chief Minister’s Registry Scheme for the free registration of properties located in rural populated areas. Under this scheme, our government has undertaken the responsibility of providing permanent property rights to eligible beneficiaries. We have pledged to conduct 50 lakh free registrations in the state. Now, leasehold property owners living in villages will be able to take loans from banks for their needs. The Chief Minister’s Registry Scheme will bring about a major change in the state’s economy. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav congratulated the citizens of Gwalior city for receiving awards in the recent Swachhta Survey. Nine cities in Madhya Pradesh, including Gwalior, Indore, Ujjain, Dewas, Jabalpur, Rewa, Sagar, Budhni, and Depalpur, received Swachhta Awards.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that Gwalior is experiencing excellent work in modern agriculture. 619 food processing units are operating here. Potato tissue culture is being practiced in Gwalior district, and more than 25,000 farmers are engaged in natural farming. Seventy thousand animal herders here care for more than 400,000 livestock and produce 605 metric tons of milk. Our farmer brothers are also cultivating paddy, sorghum, millet, and sesame. Gwalior is now gaining recognition not only for its sweet potato production but also for its potato and millet production.
