The Cabinet approved the ‘Mukhyamantri Vrindavan Gram Yojana’ aimed at making villages self-reliant. Under this scheme, one village from each assembly constituncy will be selected, with a minimum population of 2,000 and at least 500 bovines. These villages will be developed as ‘Vrindavan Grams’, setting a model of self-sufficiency and holistic rural development for others.
Key focus areas under the scheme will include Cow rearing and dairy development, Environmental conservation, Organic farming, Water conservation, solar energy, pasture development, Infrastructure development and Rural entrepreneurship & livelihood generation. The state envisions creating model villages that inspire others toward self-reliance and comprehensive growth. These model villages will integrate cleanliness, greenery, cow service (gau seva), spirituality, and economic self-dependence, realising the concept of "Vrindavan" in rural Madhya Pradesh. Major objectives of the scheme are to promote cow rearing and dairy self-sufficiency, expand dairy businesses through cooperatives, and encourage public participation in environment-friendly activities like organic farming, water conservation & solar energy and to improve infrastructure. Apart, create employment opportunities and achieve the sustainable development Goals.
