Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav reaffirmed his government's commitment to the welfare of all sections of society, stating that the state is working in mission mode for the upliftment of the poor, youth, women, and farmers, following the vision of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.
Addressing the Kisan and Employment Conference in Dandarua Sarkar Dham (Mehgaon Assembly, Bhind district), CM Yadav said, “Our farmers are the providers of food for all and are deeply revered. We are taking every necessary step to bring prosperity to their lives. With initiatives such as irrigation facilities, PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi, crop insurance, and now solar pumps, we are making farmers self-reliant.”
He launched the State-Level Solar Pump Portal under the Pradhan Mantri Krishak Mitra Surya Yojana by pressing a remote button, enabling farmers to apply for heavily subsidized solar pumps, which will provide irrigation through solar-powered electricity, freeing them from electricity supply issues and high bills.
CM Dr. Yadav highlighted that the state's irrigated land area—currently 55 lakh hectares—will be expanded to 100 lakh hectares in the coming years. The Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal (PKC) Project was also highlighted as a major boon for farmers in the Gwalior-Chambal region.
