Dr. Mohan Yadav, Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, speaks about India's rising global status and the state's progress in various sectors at NaiDunia Prominence Awards-2026.
Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav highlighted the strides made by India under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, particularly emphasizing the increasing global recognition of the country's Sanatan cultural heritage. In Madhya Pradesh, he acknowledged the contributions of eminent journalists such as Pt. Makhanlal Chaturvedi and the late Madhavrao Sapre who have brought national-level recognition to the state.

Dr. Yadav praised NaiDunia for its credibility and commitment to public interest, maintaining a distinct identity through decades of journalism. In Madhya Pradesh, it has been a leader in journalism, intellectual excellence, and boasts a strong readership across several major states due to the NaiDunia-Jagran Group.
Turning to the state's development, Dr. Yadav noted that long-pending issues are being addressed. After a gap of 21 years, the Mukhyamantri Sugam Parivahan Seva has been launched to strengthen public transport, and the draft of the Bhopal Master Plan has been released after several years. The state government is also accelerating infrastructure development, promoting industry and trade, and creating more employment opportunities for youth.
New policies have been introduced to attract investment from across India and abroad, with visible development taking place in every district. The state is also expanding air connectivity, offering air ambulance services for the poor and needy, PM Shri Heli Seva for tourists, and flight connectivity between cities for the general public. A direct flight from Indore to Abu Dhabi has been launched, with another international flight from Bhopal to Sharjah set to commence soon.
