Efforts are being made to generate employment under PM Modi's leadership: MP CM Mohan Yadav
Indore, June 7
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Saturday participated in the India-Latin America and the Caribbean Trade and Investment Forum 2026 in Indore, emphasising the importance of global trade and investment in creating employment and driving economic growth.
Speaking about employment and investment, Yadav said, "Under the leadership of PM Modi, continuous efforts are being made to generate employment and build a robust investment framework through trade and commercial activities spanning the country and the globe, aiming to benefit poor women, youth, and farmers across all sectors."
He underlined Madhya Pradesh's role in supporting the Prime Minister's vision, adding, "At this juncture, through the 'India-Latin America and Caribbean Trade and Investment Forum 2026, we are playing a pivotal role in the Prime Minister's mission to transform India into a prosperous global economic power."
Yadav also noted the potential for collaboration in multiple sectors, stating, "This event stands as a prime example of the deepening relationship between India and the nations of Latin America and the Caribbean Discussions have also highlighted immense potential for collaboration in sectors such as agriculture, food processing, pharmaceuticals (particularly healthcare services), engineering, information technology, energy, logistics, tourism, and skill development."
The CM pointed to upcoming international events in the state, saying, "A meeting of BRICS Agriculture Ministers is scheduled to take place in Indore on June 12-13. Given that our state possesses a unique agricultural ecosystem--and considering that the Union Agriculture Minister hails from Madhya Pradesh and the state is observing the 'Year of Agricultural Welfare'--this upcoming event will contribute to the state's development and help realise the Prime Minister's vision."

Finally some positive news from the state! MP has so much potential with its agriculture and now these Latin America connections. The BRICS agriculture ministers meet in Indore is a big deal—hope it brings real investment for our farmers. Proud of CM Yadav for pushing this forward. 🇮🇳
As someone who's been following India's trade policies, this Latin America and Caribbean forum seems like a smart move. Diversifying trade partners beyond the usual is good for any economy. But I'm curious—what concrete steps are being taken to train youth for these new sectors like pharma and IT? That's where the real employment generation happens.
Arre yaar, every election year they talk about employment. Show me one village in MP where youth don't have to move to Mumbai or Delhi for work. These global forums are fine, but what about small businesses in Indore itself? My nephew is still jobless despite having a degree. Actions speak louder than words. 😤
The 'Year of Agricultural Welfare' in MP sounds promising. If they can link our organic farming to Latin American markets, that's a win-win. But I hope the benefits trickle down to women farmers who are often left out of such initiatives. Let's see if this forum actually leads to tangible outcomes.
