Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Madhya Pradesh on Sunday marks a significant milestone in the state’s development journey, as he inaugurates and lays the foundation stone for multiple projects worth ₹7,300 crores. With a focus on benefiting the tribal population of the region, these initiatives aim to uplift communities and enhance their quality of life.
Among the key highlights of the visit is the disbursement of monthly installments of Aahar Anudan under the Aahar Anudan Yojna to approximately two lakh women beneficiaries. This scheme, providing ₹1,500 per month for nutritious food, particularly targets women from especially backward tribes in Madhya Pradesh, ensuring their well-being and nutritional security.
Furthermore, Prime Minister Modi will distribute 1.75 lakh adhikar abhilekh (record of rights) to beneficiaries of the SVAMITVA Scheme, a significant step towards providing documentary evidence of land ownership rights. This initiative empowers people by granting them formal recognition and legal validation of their land ownership, thereby enhancing their socio-economic status and facilitating access to various government schemes and services.
Another noteworthy aspect of the visit is the foundation stone laying of the ‘CM Rise School’ in Jhabua, which underscores the government’s commitment to providing quality education equipped with modern facilities. Integrating technology to offer smart classes and e-library resources, this initiative aims to empower students with the skills and knowledge necessary for their holistic development and future success.
In addition to educational endeavors, Prime Minister Modi will inaugurate projects aimed at strengthening water supply and provisioning of drinking water across Madhya Pradesh. The ‘Talavada Project’ stands out as a significant drinking water supply scheme benefiting over a thousand villages in Dhar and Ratlam districts, addressing a critical need for safe and accessible drinking water.
Furthermore, urban water supply schemes under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) 2.0 will provide potable water to more than 50 thousand households in various urban areas of Madhya Pradesh, contributing to improved sanitation and overall public health.
The ‘Nal Jal Yojna’ initiative is set to benefit 50 Gram Panchayats in Jhabua, facilitating tap water access for approximately 11,000 households and significantly improving the quality of life for residents. These water-related projects reflect the government’s commitment to ensuring equitable access to essential services and infrastructure for all citizens.
Additionally, Prime Minister Modi will inaugurate several rail projects, including the redevelopment of Ratlam and Meghnagar railway stations under the Amrit Bharat station scheme. Furthermore, railway line doubling and grade separator projects demonstrate the government’s efforts to enhance connectivity and modernize transportation infrastructure across the state.
The visit also encompasses the dedication of road development projects worth over ₹3,275 crore, including the four-laning of key highway sections and the improvement of road connectivity in Madhya Pradesh. These infrastructure investments are poised to boost economic growth, facilitate trade and commerce, and enhance overall connectivity within the state.
Overall, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Madhya Pradesh symbolizes a significant stride towards holistic development and prosperity, reaffirming the government’s commitment to uplifting communities, fostering inclusive growth, and building a brighter future for the people of the state.
