"Work in all government offices must begin at 10 a.m., and that biometric and other technological systems should be used to ensure compliance. - CM Mohan Yadav"

Bhopal, January 7

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Wednesday chaired a meeting of senior officials in Bhopal to discuss the time-bound implementation of public welfare schemes, construction projects, and other programmes for 2026, and issued necessary directions, a release said.

Referring to the five-day work week system implemented in government offices since the COVID period, CM Yadav said that for its successful execution, extended office hours and strict adherence by all employees are essential.

While giving directions, he said, "Work in all government offices must begin at 10 a.m., and that biometric and other technological systems should be used to ensure compliance. This will improve both discipline and efficiency."

CM Yadav stated that the state government's two years were marked by significant achievements, and the Central Government acknowledged Madhya Pradesh's progress and development.

"These accomplishments are the result of coordinated efforts by all departments. To accelerate development further, work must now be carried out in mission mode. Ensuring transparency in all processes and fixing accountability is essential so that development activities are implemented swiftly and public welfare schemes reach all eligible beneficiaries with ease," the CM said.

The Chief Minister stated that 2025 was successful from the perspective of industrial development, and 2026 would be celebrated as 'Farmer Welfare Year'. The goal is a 'Prosperous Farmer, Prosperous State'.

He emphasises that this initiative is not limited to one or two departments, but will be a joint campaign involving more than 15 major departments. Along with Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare, departments including Horticulture and Food Processing, Animal Husbandry and Dairy, Cooperation, Food and Civil Supplies, Panchayat and Rural Development, Renewable Energy, Water Resources, Fisheries, Narmada Valley Development, Energy, Revenue, Forest, Cottage and Village Industries, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, Industrial Policy, Investment and Promotion--along with the Mandi Board, Seed Corporation, MP Agro, Milk Federations, Markfed, Warehousing, and the Aajeevika Mission, will have to operate in a coordinated manner.

CM Yadav further informed that the state government was preparing a five-year action plan along with three-year budget estimates. Integrated planning and proper documentation should be undertaken for roads, hospitals, irrigation projects and public building construction.

The Chief Minister also announced that the 'Sankalp Se Samadhan' campaign would be conducted from January 12 to March 31. The campaign will focus on 106 beneficiary-oriented schemes. District administrations must ensure that final disposal of all applications received during the campaign is completed by March 31, 2026.

During the First Phase (January 12 to February 15, 2026), focus will be on door-to-door collection of applications. Second Phase (February 16 to March 16, 2026) aimed at Camps at the cluster level. The Third Phase (March 16 to March 26, 2026) is oriented to the resolution of pending and new applications at the block level. In the Fourth Phase (March 26 to March 31, 2026), district-level camps will be conducted to resolve all remaining and new applications and complaints.

The 'Farmer Welfare Year' initiative sounds promising on paper. But will all these 15+ departments actually coordinate? That's the real challenge. We've seen too many schemes fail due to lack of proper implementation and inter-departmental delays.

Finally some focus on discipline! Government offices often have a lax attitude. If starting at 10 sharp with biometrics improves efficiency and public service, I'm all for it. The 'Sankalp Se Samadhan' campaign needs to deliver real results, not just be another slogan.

As a farmer's daughter from MP, I welcome the focus. But "Prosperous Farmer, Prosperous State" must mean better MSPs, timely procurement, and solutions for water scarcity. I hope this coordinated effort reaches the small farmers in villages, not just the big ones.

Interesting to see such detailed planning with phased campaigns and multi-department integration. The biometric enforcement for timing seems like a corporate policy. Hope the focus remains on outcomes (like welfare scheme reach) rather than just policing attendance.

The intent is good, but execution is key. Door-to-door application collection is a great step for rural accessibility. Let's see if the ground-level staff is motivated and equipped. Also, a 5-year action plan is needed, but will it survive political changes? 🧐
