Malhargarh (Mandsaur): Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav on Thursday laid the foundation stone and inaugurated key infrastructure projects worth over ₹63 crore in Mandsaur district, while reaffirming the state government’s strong commitment towards farmer welfare, rural prosperity, and employment generation.

₹200 Crore Bhavantar Amount Credited to Farmers’ Accounts
Dr. Yadav said farmers are the backbone of the state’s economy and assured that the government stands firmly with them in every situation—be it crop loss due to weather, pests, or natural calamities.
Under the Bhavantar Bhugtan Yojana, the government has so far disbursed over ₹1,500 crore to more than 7.10 lakh farmers. On Thursday alone, farmers from Mandsaur district received around ₹43 crore, benefiting more than 27,000 cultivators.

Madhya Pradesh First State to Implement Bhavantar Scheme
Dr. Yadav highlighted that Madhya Pradesh was the first state in the country to introduce the Bhavantar Bhugtan Yojana through a government mechanism, ensuring farmers receive fair prices for their produce.
He announced that after soybean, the scheme will soon be extended to mustard and groundnut crops, further strengthening income security for farmers.

Act of Bravery Honoured with Compassionate Appointment

The Chief Minister handed over a compassionate appointment letter to his 22-year-old son Sanjay Singh, appointing him directly as a Police Constable (GD). Calling it “an honour to courage and humanity,” Dr. Yadav said such acts of selfless bravery must always be recognised.
Employment and Youth Empowerment in Focus
