Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that Madhya Pradesh is an agriculture-based state. The growing practice of burning crop residue (narwai) after harvest is causing severe environmental damage, including air pollution and degradation of soil quality. Burning stubble destroys essential nutrients in the soil, reducing its fertility. To address this issue, the state government has already banned the burning of crop residue. Despite this, if any farmer is found burning narwai, they will be denied the benefits under the Chief Minister Kisan Kalyan Yojana. Additionally, their crops will not be procured at the Minimum Support Price (MSP) during the following year. Dr. Yadav issued these directives during a review meeting of the Revenue Department held at Samatva Bhavan (Chief Minister’s residence). He emphasized that this decision will be implemented from 1st May, keeping in view environmental protection, soil conservation, and sustaining land productivity.
