In a major push for farmer welfare, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav inaugurated key digital initiatives at a statewide workshop in Bhopal. The event, part of the Kisan Kalyan Varsh spanning 16 departments, aims to double farmers’ incomes through integrated development.
Addressing over 1,600 agri-workers from 55 districts, CM Yadav invoked PM Modi’s vision of selfless service, dubbing officials as ‘Krishi Karmayogis’. New tools include the CM Kisan Helpline (155253), a real-time dashboard tracking welfare schemes, and drives to expand cooperative memberships.
Yadav celebrated dairy revolution milestones: enhanced production, premium milk prices up by Rs 7-8/liter, thanks to NDDB partnerships. Irrigation networks now blanket fields, shifting from rain-fed to multi-crop cycles annually.
Procurement highs—wheat at Rs 2625/quintal, urad at MSP—signal commitment. Innovative waste-to-wealth models turn maize stalks and stubble into revenue streams. He motivated youth with Israel’s arid-yet-thriving farms, positioning agriculture as a high-tech career.
River interlinks like Ken-Betwa promise Bundelkhand bounty, with 90% central aid. MP, the ‘motherland of rivers’, leverages Narmada waters for growth. Officials echoed the call for dedicated execution, with district agri-fairs amplifying outreach.
