Cheetahs from Botswana and wild buffaloes from Assam? While wildlife conservation is important, I hope the focus on farmers and storage capacity doesn't get diluted. Our annadatas need support first.

Positive step. Coordination between state and centre is crucial for agriculture. MP's storage capacity needs to be future-proofed for increasing yields. The 2026 farmer welfare year is a good initiative.

Interesting to see the dual focus on agriculture and wildlife/tourism. Developing sustainable tourism around these conservation projects could create jobs. Hope the plans are well-researched.

"Assured full support" is the standard line from Delhi. Let's see if the procurement process actually becomes smoother for our farmers this season. Actions speak louder than posts on X.

As someone from MP, I appreciate the focus on both farmer welfare and wildlife. The cheetah project has put our state on the global map for conservation. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
