Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Monday and briefed him on development initiatives of the state government.

The Chief Minister informed PM Modi about different programmes and activities being organised in the state under Kisan Kalyan Varsh.

After meeting with PM Modi, the Chief Minister told reporters, "Our government is working for all four categories - farmers, women, poor, and youth. We are celebrating the Farmer Welfare Year very well. We are working by combining around 16 departments which include animal husbandry, fisheries, horticulture, agriculture, cooperative etc. for the purpose," he said.

The Chief Minister highlighted that the state's agricultural growth rate reached 16 per cent, reflecting the inherent potential of the sector and the success of policy initiatives. He clarified that the government's objective is not limited to increasing production, but also to enhancing farmers' income and reducing agricultural input costs through practical and effective measures.

He added that developmental and welfare-oriented programmes would continue throughout the year. The government remains committed to ensuring farmer prosperity, sustainable agriculture and renewed strength for the rural economy, he said.

"Working for farmers, women, poor, and youth" – this is the standard line from every government. I want to see concrete action. Are MSPs being ensured? Are women getting real financial independence? Talk is cheap, implementation is everything. Show us the data on ground-level income increase.

Coordination between 16 departments sounds great on paper, but in reality, it often leads to more bureaucracy and delays. The intent is good, but the challenge is execution. Reducing input costs is the key! Fertiliser and diesel prices are killing farmers.

As someone who follows agricultural policy, focusing on the entire value chain from production to marketing is the right approach. Sustainable agriculture and rural economy strength are crucial for India's future. Hope MP becomes a model for other states.

Including animal husbandry and fisheries is smart. Diversification is important for farmer income. My chacha in MP has a small dairy, and if he gets better support, it can change his life. Praying this works out for the annadatas. 🙏

Meeting the PM is one thing, delivering on promises is another. We've seen many 'Varsh' declared before. The real test is whether the farmer's debt reduces and his standard of living improves by 2026. I'll believe it when I see it.
