"Water conservation works are being carried out across the state under the Jal Ganga Samvardhan Abhiyan.

Good to see focus on irrigation projects! As a farmer from MP, I know how crucial water management is for our fields. The farm ponds initiative in Rewa is a step in the right direction. Hope they implement this across all drought-prone areas. 🌾

Ladli Behna Yojana is truly empowering women in rural areas. My sister in Sidhi has benefited greatly from this scheme. But government should also ensure proper monitoring so funds reach all deserving women without middlemen interference.

While announcements sound good, we've heard similar promises before. The real test will be timely completion of these projects. The Ken-Betwa link has been discussed for years - hope this government delivers on time and within budget.

Building colleges is excellent, but what about quality education? My nephew studies in a government college where there are no proper labs or qualified teachers. Funds should focus on improving existing infrastructure too, not just new buildings.

River linking projects are ambitious but necessary for MP's water security. However, the government must consult environmental experts to ensure we don't create ecological problems while solving water issues. Balance is key!

The focus on dairy development is smart - it can really boost rural economy. But instead of just promoting cow rearing, they should also improve veterinary services and milk collection infrastructure. That's where we face maximum problems.
