Sagar, January 10

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Saturday laid the foundation stones and inaugurated various development works worth Rs 312 crores in Khurai, Sagar district and addressed a gathering on the occasion.

According to an official release, CM Yadav also announced the construction of a Rahatgarh-Khurai road at a cost of Rs 500 crore, Bina River Project worth Rs 429 crore and Rs 25 crore for the construction and facility development of Khurai Agriculture College.

Additionally, he declared the establishment of a new ITI in Khurai for youth training, installation of an athletic track at the Khurai sports complex, construction of a multi-sports complex in Malthaun and opening of two Sandipani schools.

Speaking on the occasion, CM said, "The state government has set a target to increase milk production by up to 20 per cent. Through the Bhavantar scheme, farmers are receiving fair prices for their crops, and various irrigation projects will ensure adequate water availability for irrigation in the future."

He also stated that the government has no shortage of funds to improve the lives of youth, women, the poor and farmers. He added that under the Kisan Samman Nidhi, farmers are receiving Rs 10,000 a year through combined support from the Centre and the state. Under the Ek Bagia Maa Ke Naam scheme, farmers are being provided Rs 2 lakh for developing orchards on one acre of land. The holistic development of farmers remains the government's top priority.

Along with agriculture, animal husbandry is also being promoted in Madhya Pradesh. Farmers are being encouraged to establish gaushalas to boost milk production through animal husbandry. Under the 'Krishak Varsh, the government is working to make farming profitable, the CM said, elaborating that efforts will be made to further strengthen the agricultural implements manufacturing industry in Khurai.

He added that Madhya Pradesh currently contributes around 9 per cent to the country's milk production, and the government aims to raise this to 20 per cent. Various schemes are being implemented to boost milk production. He announced that farmers setting up a dairy unit with 25 cows will receive a government subsidy of Rs 10 lakh under a Rs 40 lakh scheme.

He further highlighted that Bundelkhand is a centre of architectural heritage, attracting visitors from India and across the globe to sites such as Khajuraho and Orchha. He added that the government is continuously working to promote tourism. Places associated with Lord Krishna's footsteps will be developed as pilgrimage centres, and Chitrakoot Dham will also be developed further.

The focus on milk production and animal husbandry is smart. MP is already a major contributor. The subsidy for a 25-cow dairy unit sounds substantial. But the real test is ensuring these schemes reach the small farmers, not just the big ones. Transparency in implementation is key.

Good to see investment in Sagar and Bundelkhand. The new ITI and sports complexes are important for youth. But alongside big announcements, we need to maintain existing infrastructure. The roads in many parts of MP are in terrible condition. Hope quality is not compromised.

Rs 312 crore is a huge amount. While the intentions seem good, we have seen many foundation stones laid with much fanfare but projects stuck for years. The government should create a public dashboard to track the progress and expenditure of each project announced today.

Promoting tourism by developing places linked to Lord Krishna and Chitrakoot is excellent. Bundelkhand has so much untapped potential. Better connectivity from these new roads will help. As a local, I just hope development is sustainable and doesn't harm our historical sites.

The holistic approach covering roads, agriculture, education, and sports is impressive. The 'Ek Bagia Maa Ke Naam' scheme for orchards is a nice touch. If farmers get fair prices and water security, it can truly transform rural MP. Fingers crossed for effective execution.
