Dr. Mohan Yadav transfers ₹3,308 crore to over 82 lakh farmers under the Chief Minister Kisan Kalyan Yojana. He also announces various initiatives to modernise agriculture and increase milk production.
Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav transferred a significant amount of ₹3,308 crore to the bank accounts of more than 82 lakh farmers across Madhya Pradesh on Monday under the Chief Minister Kisan Kalyan Yojana through a single-click transfer. The funds were credited during the Balram Krishi Mahotsav held at the Khandwa district headquarters, where Dr. Yadav also visited an exhibition showcasing advanced agricultural technologies. Dr. Yadav highlighted the importance of modernising agriculture and increasing farmers' income, describing the event as a comprehensive campaign to connect farmers with modern technology, scientific agriculture, and a prosperous future.
The Chief Minister praised Khandwa for its rich agricultural heritage, stating that the region's fertile black soil is as valuable as gold, enabling farmers to produce high-value crops. He noted that Khandwa has emerged as a model district in agriculture, water conservation, and environmental protection, with its hardworking farmers setting new benchmarks through innovation and entrepreneurship.
Dr. Yadav urged farmers to actively participate in the Balram Krishi Mahotsav and embrace modern agricultural practices. He advised farmers to test their soil before cultivation, reduce excessive use of chemical fertilisers, and shift towards natural and organic farming at the earliest. He also encouraged crop diversification, recommending the cultivation of multiple crops instead of relying on a single crop to enhance productivity and income.
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, Dr. Yadav stated that the State Government has been taking significant decisions for farmers' welfare. He described farmers as the nation's food providers and said the government holds them in the highest regard.
