Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has stated that the Government of Madhya Pradesh is procuring wheat at the highest rate in the country—₹2,600 per quintal, which includes a ₹175 per quintal bonus to ensure maximum benefit to the state's wheat farmers. He informed that Madhya Pradesh has surpassed Punjab and Haryana in terms of production and procurement.
While addressing a review meeting of the Department of Food, Civil Supplies, and Consumer Protection at the Mantralaya on Wednesday, the Chief Minister instructed that e-KYC for all types of ration cardholders should be completed at the earliest. He further directed that ration should be distributed to all eligible beneficiaries promptly and without inconvenience.
Dr. Yadav emphasised that no eligible beneficiary should be deprived of their rightful entitlement under the National Food Security Scheme. He instructed officials to improve and streamline the public distribution system (PDS) to make it more effective and error-free.
The Chief Minister also emphasised that all welfare schemes, particularly food distribution, Ujjwala gas subsidy, and the expansion of domestic gas pipeline networks, should be implemented with full sensitivity and urgency so that citizens can benefit from the government’s facilities.
