Narmadapuram, January 16

Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Friday transferred financial assistance of Rs 1,836 crore to over 1.25 crore 'Ladli Behna' beneficiaries and over Rs 90 crore as a subsidy for gas cylinder refilling to 29 lakh beneficiaries under the 'Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala' Yojana.

CM Yadav also performed the bhoomi-pujan and inaugurated various development works worth Rs 206 crore for the Sohagpur Assembly constituency in Narmadapuram district, including the newly constructed Circuit House at Makhan Nagar, on the occasion, according to an official release.

Addressing the occasion, the Chief Minister said, "Madhya Pradesh is the first state in the country to work in mission mode on the four pillars of development--the poor, youth, farmers, and women, with a focus on empowerment. The state government is consistently working toward women's empowerment. The 32nd instalment of the 'Ladli Behna' Yojana has been transferred to the accounts of over 1.25 crore sisters."

The CM highlighted that the state government is gradually increasing the assistance amount under the 'Ladli Behna' Yojana. The government will also support women with Rs 5,000 for employment-linked industrial work. Women are being given an additional 2 per cent concession on property registration.

He also noted that mulberry silk from Narmadapuram is well known, and that the establishment of thread-manufacturing units has enabled 50 women to become 'Lakhpatis'. The state government has declared 2026 as 'Farmer Welfare Year', during which agriculture will be linked with employment and industry. Women will be trained and connected with self-help groups. Farmers are assured of fair prices for wheat, paddy, and pulses.

The Chief Minister also announced that the Bagra-Sakha Hoj irrigation project covering 42,000 hectares would be launched soon and a new bridge over the Tawa River would be constructed at a cost of Rs 122 crore.

He also announced that the roads from Narmadapuram to Babai, Sohagpur, Pipariya, and Bankhedi would be upgraded to four lanes, and that additional classrooms would be constructed for a college in Makhan Nagar, and that a sports stadium in Makhan Nagar and a new college in Sohagpur would be established.

Good to see development projects being launched in Sohagpur. The four-lane roads and new bridge over Tawa are much needed for better connectivity. Hope the execution is timely and the quality is maintained. Infrastructure is key for progress.

While the direct benefit transfers are welcome, I hope there is equal focus on creating sustainable employment. The Rs 5,000 support for industrial work and training for SHGs is a step in the right direction. Real empowerment means economic independence, not just aid.

The focus on linking agriculture with industry and declaring 2026 as Farmer Welfare Year is promising. Fair prices for wheat and paddy are crucial. The irrigation project covering 42,000 hectares could be a game-changer for farmers in the region if implemented well.

It's heartening to read about the 50 women becoming 'Lakhpatis' through the silk thread units. This is true empowerment - skill development leading to entrepreneurship. More such localized, traditional industry-based initiatives are needed across MP.

The announcements are impressive on paper. My respectful criticism is about transparency and last-mile delivery. We often hear about crores being transferred, but how many women actually receive the full amount without any middlemen or delays? That's the real test.
