Bhopal, January 30

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav inaugurated a state-level flower exhibition at the Government Gulab Udyan in Bhopal on Friday as part of the 'Farmer Welfare Year - 2026' initiative and distributed benefits to farmers as well as honoured them for excellent flower production.

CM Yadav highlighted that the state government has begun organising exhibitions showcasing all varieties of flowers and plans to expand these programmes from the state level to the district level in the future.

Speaking to reporters, the CM said, "We have started the initiative of organising exhibitions of all kinds of flowers. In the coming time, such programmes will be organised at the district level. Earlier, this was a one-day event, but I have now announced that it will be extended to three days. I am pleased to share that, following the formation of our government, the area under floriculture has nearly doubled. Flowers grown here are reaching national and international markets, which is increasing farmers' income and contributing to their prosperity."

He further hoped that, through the 'Year of Farmer Welfare 2026', flower production in the state would be further enhanced.

The Chief Minister also added that farmers were being provided with information on market opportunities and flower cultivation to help them increase their income.

Earlier, CM Yadav announced that 2026 would be observed as 'Krishak Kalyan Varsh', during which special emphasis would be laid on farmers' interests. To effectively implement the Farmer Welfare Year, 16 state government departments will work in close coordination to strengthen all dimensions of agriculture, including production, costs, marketing, income, and overall welfare.

He clarified that the government's objective was not limited to increasing production, but also to enhancing farmers' incomes and reducing agricultural input costs through practical, 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.

Doubling the floriculture area is a big claim. I appreciate the focus on farmer income, but the real test is whether small and marginal farmers are actually benefiting. The government must ensure fair market prices and reduce transportation costs for them.

Good step. Flowers from MP, especially roses and marigolds, are already famous. If they can get better cold storage and export facilities, farmers will truly prosper. 'Krishak Kalyan Varsh' sounds promising, but implementation is key.

Extending the exhibition to three days is a smart move. It will allow more farmers and buyers to participate. The focus on market information is crucial – many farmers grow beautiful flowers but don't know where to sell them for the best price.

Bahut accha! Floriculture can be a game-changer for our rural economy. It's labour-intensive and can create many jobs for women too. Hope the 16 departments coordinate properly and don't get stuck in bureaucracy. Jai Kisan!

While I welcome the focus, I hope this isn't just for show. We need to see concrete data on income increase and reduction in input costs. Also, what about water management for floriculture? It can be water-intensive. Sustainable practices are a must.
