Good scheme but why only Narsinghpur district for the launch event? There are many remote villages in MP that need such infrastructure development. The ₹296 crore for roads and water supply is much needed across the state. Hope this is just the beginning! 🙏

Impressive how technology enables such large-scale cash transfers with a single click. The direct benefit transfer system in India is a global model. However, I'm curious about the eligibility criteria - 21 to 60 years covers a broad age range. Are there any exclusions for women already receiving other government benefits?

Ladli Behna Yojana has been a game-changer for rural women in MP. My mother-in-law receives ₹1,250 monthly and it helps with household expenses. But the real test is whether this reaches women in far-flung areas without proper bank access. The government should ensure every eligible woman gets enrolled. 👏

While I appreciate the financial support, I wonder about the long-term economic impact. Is this creating dependency or genuine empowerment? The CM mentioned women in industry and agriculture - that's where the focus should be. Skills training and entrepreneurship support would go further than just cash transfers. Just my two cents. 🤷‍♂️

What a beautiful gesture - transferring funds from a village and also doing gau seva and plantation! Shows the CM is connected to grassroots. The heritage calendar release is a nice touch too. Narsinghpur has many historical sites that need preservation. Overall a well-rounded development event. 🌿🇮🇳
