Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav, known for his sensitivity towards farmers' concerns, is implementing initiatives to ensure farmers benefit from modern technology in Madhya Pradesh. One such initiative is the Balram Krishi Mahotsav, which aims to connect farmers with advanced agricultural technologies, natural farming, agricultural mechanisation, and various government schemes.
Dr. Yadav has been interacting with farmers at these events held across districts, including tribal-dominated Alirajpur, as well as virtually from New Delhi.
The Balram Krishi Mahotsav is being organised in every district on the initiative of Chief Minister Dr. Yadav to connect farmers with modern agricultural technologies, natural farming, agricultural mechanisation and various government schemes. He has interacted with farmers virtually from Shivpuri from New Delhi and has participated in Balram Krishi Mahotsavs held in Ashoknagar, Guna, Vidisha, Raisen, Bhopal, Rajgarh, Sehore, Narmadapuram, Betul, Harda, Burhanpur, Ujjain, and Khargone.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav believes that the prosperity and well-being of farmers are vital to ensuring overall prosperity and food security. He has often emphasised that the role of a farmer is equally important as a soldier guarding the nation’s borders, as both are dedicated to the nation.
On the Chief Minister’s directions, the Balram Krishi Mahotsav has been launched to increase farmers' incomes, improve their standard of living and promote their overall welfare. The district-level events feature demonstrations of advanced agricultural technologies and provide farmers with opportunities to directly interact with subject experts. Farmers are also being introduced to new technologies and market-oriented agricultural models.
Information is being provided on digital agricultural services, weather-based farming, soil health management, drone technology, smart irrigation, advanced farm machinery, and modern agricultural management systems. Agricultural experts are also educating farmers about new farming methods suited to changing climatic conditions and measures for risk management.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav is also encouraging farmers to create their Farmer ID, a key component of the Digital Agriculture Mission launched by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. Similar to an Aadhaar card, the Farmer ID serves as a reliable digital identity for farmers. It is linked with various farmer-related data, including land records, livestock ownership, crops sown and benefits received under government schemes.
