Madhya Pradesh govt marks two years, CM Yadav declares state Maoist-free

Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav highlights two-year achievements, including declaring the state Maoist-free, boosting Ladli Behna aid, and major development projects.

"In the past two years, Madhya Pradesh has witnessed tremendous growth and the pace of development has accelerated - Chief Minister's Office"

Bhopal, Dec 12

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government led by Chief Minister Mohan Yadav completed two years in office on Friday, with the state administration claiming a major achievement of making Madhya Pradesh Maoist-free with support from the Centre.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the Chief Minister’s Office listed key decisions and development initiatives undertaken during the period.

These include progress on major central projects such as the Ken-Betwa river linking, Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal project, and a memorandum of understanding with Maharashtra for the Tapti Basin Mega Recharge project.

Among the highlighted measures were the increase in monthly assistance under the Ladli Behna Yojana from Rs 1,250 to Rs 1,500, renaming of ‘CM Rise Schools’ as ‘Sandipani Vidyalay’, and the establishment of a PM Mitra Park in Dhar district.

The government also cited its decision to ban loudspeakers at religious and public places and prohibit meat sales in open areas as part of its early administrative actions.

The list further mentioned the closure of all transport check-posts at inter-state borders following a corruption scandal that led to the arrest of a former inspector and the recovery of 52 kg of gold in Bhopal.

Wildlife conservation efforts were also highlighted, including the creation of two new cheetah habitats at Gandhi Sagar and Nauradehi after the introduction of Project Cheetah at Kuno National Park in 2022.

The government pointed to investment-focused events such as the Global Investors Summit and Regional Industry Conclaves held over the past year.

After the BJP retained power in the 2023 Assembly elections with 163 out of 230 seats, Mohan Yadav, a three-time MLA from Ujjain South and former Higher Education Minister, was sworn in as Chief Minister on December 13, 2023, succeeding four-time CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan, now Union Agriculture Minister.

“In the past two years, Madhya Pradesh has witnessed tremendous growth and the pace of development has accelerated, with improvement in development indicators,” the Chief Minister’s Office said.

The increase in Ladli Behna Yojana is a direct help to women in households. More money in their hands means better nutrition and education for children. Hope this continues and reaches everyone properly.

While the claims are good, I want to see the ground reality. Banning meat sales in open areas affects livelihoods of small vendors. Development should be inclusive. The closure of check-posts after the gold scandal is a positive step against corruption though.

The cheetah project expansion to Gandhi Sagar and Nauradehi is exciting! 🐆 It's great for wildlife tourism and conservation. MP is becoming a model state in protecting our natural heritage. Hope they ensure the animals' safety and well-being.

Global Investors Summit is key for job creation. But we need to see those promised jobs materialize in smaller towns, not just Bhopal and Indore. The PM Mitra Park in Dhar is a step in the right direction.

Renaming schools as 'Sandipani Vidyalay' connects with our cultural roots. Education with values is important. But the focus should also be on improving the quality of teaching and infrastructure in government schools across the state.
