Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav discussed agricultural development, farmers' welfare, and various measures being taken by the state government to make agriculture more profitable at the Balram Krishi Mahotsav in Shajapur district.
On Saturday, Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav addressed the Balram Krishi Mahotsav organised in Shajapur district via video conferencing from Bodh Gaya, Bihar. He interacted with farmers and discussed various measures to promote agricultural development and ensure farmers' welfare.
Shajapur is known for crops such as onion, potato, and soybean, and is also emerging as a centre for agro-based industries and solar energy. The district is expected to benefit from proposed road and expressway projects which are intended to further accelerate its development and improve farmers' access to markets.
As part of 'Krishak Kalyan Varsh', the state government is focusing on irrigation, electricity, solar pumps, storage, food processing, and agro-based industries to make agriculture more profitable. Efforts are being made to provide four times the prescribed compensation for land acquired for new roads, ensure daytime electricity supply, encourage solar pumps, secure fair prices for agricultural produce, and strengthen storage facilities.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav emphasised natural farming and modern agricultural technologies, noting that farmers are being selected for natural farming initiatives in the district and Krishi Sakhis are being trained. He urged farmers to diversify their income by taking up animal husbandry, dairy farming, floriculture, fisheries, and food processing alongside traditional agriculture.
