Finally, some focus on pulses with the 'Mission for Aatmanirbharta in Pulses'! 🎉 We import too much dal, so this Rs 2,442 crore over five years is a good step. Also, the Anganwadi centres and Mission Vatsalya funding for women and child development is much needed. Let's hope the money doesn't get stuck in bureaucracy.

A Traders' Welfare Board with CM as chairperson and RBI, NABARD, FSSAI reps—sounds impressive on paper. But will it actually cut red tape for small shopkeepers and weavers? District-level committees meeting monthly is a good idea. But Rs 32,405 crore for roads is a massive commitment; I'd like to see it spent transparently.

Impressive numbers from MP Cabinet. The Rs 1,295 crore for IT and electronics is a smart move to boost manufacturing. But I'm curious how the Traders' Welfare Board will interact with existing bodies like CII and FICCI—will it be more than just a coordination committee? Good to see infrastructure prioritised.

As a farmer's daughter, I'm relieved to see 'Mission for Aatmanirbharta in Pulses' getting Rs 2,442 crore. We need better MSP and irrigation support too, but at least this is a start. Anganwadi upgrades are also welcome—our village centre is falling apart. Hope the CM ensures these funds reach the ground level.

Rs 38,555 crore is a huge investment for MP. The road allocation for rural areas
