Chief Minister Chouhan said that I am happy that 83 lakh such people have been identified in the state through the Mukhya Mantri Janseva Abhiyan, who are eligible to take advantage of government schemes. The work of distribution of approval letters to benefit all these citizens in 38 different schemes is going on in the state. Today, letters of approval were distributed to more than 24 lakh 94 thousand beneficiaries of Bhopal, Sagar and Ujjain divisions. Chief Minister Chouhan said that in the Vikas Yatra starting in the state from February 5, work will be done to connect the left out people with the schemes. It is our resolve to ensure that no eligible family remains deprived of the benefits of the schemes.

Chief Minister Chouhan said that our Government is a farmer-friendly government. Correcting the fraud done with the farmers by the previous government, we paid the crop insurance amount as soon as we came to power and gave the amount of crop insurance to the farmers. He said that in the last two and a quarter years, our government has deposited Rs 2,25,837 crore in the accounts of farmers in various schemes like crop insurance, relief amount for horticulture, solar pump and electricity subsidy. This assistance will continue. Till now Rs 6,000 was being received by a farmer’s family under Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi and Rs 4,000 under Mukhya Mantri Kisan-Kalyan Yojana. Now these farmer families will also get Rs 12,000 under the Ladli Behna Yojana. This way, the farmer’s family will start receiving Rs 22,000 annually in a year. He informed that Rs 12 thousand crore will be spent every year and Rs 60,000 crore in 5 years in Ladli Behna Yojana. Chief Minister Chouhan said that the State Government is running several schemes for the welfare of the poor and to make their lives better. A Maha Yagya is in progress for arranging ration, education, medicines and accommodation for the poor.
