Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav stated that under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, our country and Madhya Pradesh are moving forward with renewed energy. Under Prime Minister Shri Modi’s leadership, India is establishing a new identity on the global stage. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav stated that Madhya Pradesh is an agriculture-based state. Farming is not just about harvesting agricultural produce, but farming is about improving one’s financial condition through animal husbandry, fisheries, and horticulture. Our government is committed to the development of both farming and agriculture. Through the River Linking Campaign and other initiatives, we have accelerated the expansion of irrigation acreage for the prosperity of farmers and their families. We have now begun providing farmers with 10 hours of electricity a day. To increase the income of farmers and livestock farmers, we have decided to encourage milk production in the state. Milk cooperatives are being formed in the state’s gram panchayats for milk collection. We are striving to ensure that farmers increase their income through animal husbandry and milk production, in addition to grain production. The Chief Minister said that Madhya Pradesh is today at the third position in the country in milk production. We will make Madhya Pradesh the number one state in milk production in the next two years. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav expressed these views while addressing the journalists and media representatives present at the Diwali Milan function organized with journalists at the Chief Minister’s residence on Saturday. He congratulated and wished all the people of the state on Diwali and Govardhan Puja. On this occasion, Additional Chief Secretary Chief Minister’s Office Mr. Neeraj Mandloi, Secretary Transport and Commissioner Public Relations Mr. Manish Singh, Additional Secretary Chief Minister and Director Public Relations Mr. Arvind Dubey and other officials were also present.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that under the ‘Chief Minister Registry Scheme’, the state government is providing permanent rights to the population living in rural areas on their property. He said that through this scheme, farmers and villagers have received registered documents of their property ownership for the first time after independence. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that on the occasion of Dhanteras on Friday, when he met the beneficiaries of the Registry Scheme in a village of Morena district, the villagers became emotional on completion of the process of permanent rights to their property for the first time.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that under the National Education Policy-2020, PM Excellence Colleges have been established in all 55 districts of the state. Quality education is being promoted through Sandipani schools and public transportation through the Chief Minister’s Sugam Parivahan Seva. Meanwhile, medical colleges are being constructed in Mandla and Balaghat to increase the number of medical colleges and ensure the availability of doctors. Admissions will begin this semester.

Every district, division, and small town in the state is being connected to industrial development. He added that Ujjain’s economic situation has completely transformed since the inauguration of Baba Mahakal’s Mahalok. Ujjain is being developed as a major city under the Smart City Project. Similarly, the Omkareshwar Corridor is being constructed at a cost of ₹2,500 crore, and the Ramraja Sarkar temples in Chitrakoot and Orchha are being renovated at a cost of ₹2,000 crore. The Chief Minister stated that we have only heard of Lord Shri Ram’s Ramrajya, the era of Lord Krishna, and the golden age of Vikramaditya. The true meaning of the golden age is that our achievements should not be limited to mere greetings and celebrations, but that their positive reflection should be visible in every sphere of society. With this goal in mind, our government is moving forward on the path of sustainable development.
