Indore: Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav on Monday addressed a foundation-laying ceremony and social harmony conference at Blue Lotus Garden in Indore, emphasizing the government’s commitment to inclusive development and the welfare of all sections of society. He described Diwali as an auspicious occasion to initiate projects that benefit the public and reiterated the state administration’s goal of ensuring development reaches the doorsteps of every citizen.
Foundation Laid for ₹30 Crore Sewerage Project
During the event, Dr. Yadav performed the groundbreaking for a major sewerage project under the Amrit 2.0 scheme in Sudama Nagar Sectors D and E, covering a total length of 34.235 kilometers with a project cost of ₹30 crore. The project aims to permanently address drainage blockages and improve wastewater management, providing relief to residents and enhancing urban sanitation in the region.
Inclusive Development and Social Empowerment
The Chief Minister highlighted several initiatives aimed at empowering tribal communities and marginalized groups. He pointed to historic steps such as holding a cabinet meeting in Jabalpur for the first time in honor of Rani Durgavati and establishing a university in Khargone named after Tantya Mama, underscoring the government’s commitment to recognizing contributions from all sections of society.
Economic Growth and Farmer Welfare
Dr. Yadav reflected on the state’s economic progress, noting that the annual budget has grown from ₹20,000 crore in earlier years to ₹4 lakh crore today. He highlighted government efforts to support farmers, including the purchase of wheat at ₹2,600 per quintal, demonstrating the administration’s commitment to ensuring fair prices and farmer welfare.
Vision for Modern Development
Aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘2047 Amrit Kaal’ vision, the Chief Minister stated that Madhya Pradesh is setting new standards for development. He noted ongoing projects in Indore and Bhopal, including the creation of a modern metropolitan circuit, which is expected to position the Malwa region as a major national development hub.
Recognition of Public Service and Governance
Dr. Yadav emphasized that the government’s approach combines development with social cohesion. He underlined that the objective of governance is to provide welfare and facilities to the last citizen, echoing the philosophy of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya’s ‘Antyodaya’, which focuses on the upliftment of the poorest and most marginalized.
