Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi was visited by CM Dr. Mohan Yadav in New Delhi on Monday. CM Dr. Yadav briefed PM Shri Modi about the various welfare schemes being implemented in Madhya Pradesh. He extended an invitation to the Prime Minister to visit Madhya Pradesh for inaugurating and laying the foundation stones of various developmental projects.
CM Dr. Yadav informed the Prime Minister about the ongoing Jal Ganga Samvardhan Abhiyan, being conducted from March 30 to June 30 with the aim of water conservation. He shared that Khandwa district ranked first in the country for groundwater storage and Madhya Pradesh was among the top four states in this field. He mentioned that the inspiration for the campaign came from the Gujarat Government, where traditional water structures like wells, stepwells and riverbanks have been rejuvenated. CM Dr. Yadav invited the Prime Minister Shri Modi to virtually bless the concluding ceremony of the campaign, which the Prime Minister graciously accepted.
The Chief Minister briefed the Prime Minister on various schemes aimed at the development of four pillars — the poor, youth, farmers and women. He said a mega convention of over two lakh farmers will be held in Sehore district on October 12–14 to boost farmer incomes, promote food processing units, and create new opportunities in agriculture-based industries. He invited the Prime Minister to inaugurate the event. He also apprised the Prime Minister of the PM Mitra Textile Park being developed in Dhar, a tribal district, with support from the central government. He invited the Prime Minister for the foundation-laying ceremony and allocation of industrial zones. Dr. Yadav further informed that metro train services in Bhopal will start by October this year, and invited the Prime Minister for the launch.
The Chief Minister highlighted the steps taken by the state government to eliminate Naxalism. He stated that more than 10 Naxalites carrying a combined reward of Rs. 1.62 crore have been neutralized in the last one and a half years. Balaghat is the only Naxal-affected district in the state, and that too, only at the tehsil level. As per the announcement by Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah, Naxal activities will be completely eradicated in the state by March 2026, he assured.
