Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has said Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is doing miraculous work for development and farmers, poor, daughters etc. in the state.
He is working wholeheartedly for the public. I am seeing how much people love him, Singh said.
He said the farmer is not only the provider of food, but also the creator of India’s destiny. The sons of the farmer have guarded the borders. To make India strong, farmers have to be made strong. Whether it was the freedom struggle, the struggle of 1857, the Satyagraha of Champaran or the movement of Bardoli in Gujarat, the farmers shook the Britishers.
The presence of a large number of farmers in this Kisan-Kalyan Mahakumbh in Madhya Pradesh is heartening.
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is doing miraculous work for development and farmers, poor, daughters etc. in the state. He is working wholeheartedly for the public. Today I am seeing how much people love him. Defense Minister Shri Singh was addressing the Kisan-Kalyan Mahakumbh in Rajgarh district. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that in the Mukhyamantri Kisan-Kalyan Yojana, instead of Rs 4 thousand, the state government will now provide Rs 6 thousand to the farmers every year. In the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi, farmers get Rs 6 thousand every year. In this way, now the amount received by the farmers will be Rs. 12 thousand annually.
The Chief Minister said that such families that own tractors will also be benefitted under the Mukhya Mantri Ladli Bahna Yojana. Tractor will not be considered in the category of four wheeler. The sisters of these families will also get Rs.1000 per month. He said that fertilizers are available in sufficient quantity. The state government will also pay the interest of 3 months for the advance lifting of fertilizers and seeds. He told the farmers that the procurement of moong at the support price would start soon.
Union Defense Minister Singh and Chief Minister Chouhan, transferred Rs 2 thousand 123 crores in the accounts of 11 lakh farmers in the Chief Minister Farmers Interest Waiver Scheme-2023, Rs 2 thousand 900 crores in the accounts of 44 lakh 49 thousand farmers in the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana and Rs One thousand 400 crore in the accounts of 70 lakh 61 thousand farmers under the Mukhya Mantri Kisan Kalyan Yojana, thus transferring an amount of a total Rs 6 thousand 423 crore. Along with the farmers, a large number of sisters and daughters gathered in the programme.
Defense Minister Singh said that India is no longer a weak country. No country has the courage to raise its eyes and look at us. The people of India have faith in Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. We consider all the people living on the earth of the world as our own. India does not attack any country, this is our character. We will not attack anyone, but if anyone attacks us, we will not leave them either. India can teach a lesson to terrorists and attackers not only within but outside the country as well. This has become evident from the decision of surgical strike by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. Union Minister Shri Singh said that importance is being given to women in the army. Now they are not only joining the army in large numbers, but have also become ready for leadership. The flagship of a major naval warship is also headed by a woman. Sisters have an important role in building a new India. Prime Minister Shri Modi has done the work of increasing the participation of sisters.
Shivraj ji is doing miraculous work in Madhya Pradesh
Defense Minister Shri Singh said that Chief Minister Chouhan has done miraculous work in various fields including farmers’ welfare. He remembers that when he came to Madhya Pradesh several years before on the invitation of Chief Minister Chouhan to attend the Kisan Sammelan, the farmers used to get loans at 4 percent interest, which the Chief Minister worked to bring down to zero percent.
Chief Minister Chouhan has taken not one but many steps in the interest of the farmers. This is proof of his sensitivity. Like Prime Minister Shri Modi, Chief Minister Shri Chouhan is also providing charismatic leadership for public welfare. The huge community present in this meeting of Rajgarh is also a proof that Chief Minister Chouhan has served the public a lot. Defense Minister Shri Singh said that farmers are food givers, life givers and shapers of our destiny. Our country cannot develop without making the farmers strong. The Government of Madhya Pradesh has done an incomparable work for the farmers. Remarkable work has been done in various fields in Madhya Pradesh under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Modi.
Central government has taken care of the village, the poor and farmers
Defense Minister Shri Singh said that Prime Minister Shri Modi has done wonderful work to make the Digital India. Payments worth Rs 29 lakh crore in the country are being done through mobile only. This is an example of digital revolution that today e-payment is being done even at vegetable shops. In the last 9 years, there has been concern for the village, the poor and the farmer. If a government works for the farmers, it is not doing them any favour. Agriculture welfare has been given priority. There should be no difference between our words and actions. The central and state governments have done what they said. There is a world of difference between the works of the previous government and the present government. The same thing can be said for Madhya Pradesh also. Under the Jal-Jeevan Mission, the Prime Minister has resolved to provide water to every household. Madhya Pradesh has done excellent work in this field by providing tap water to 60 lakh families. The production of food grains has increased in the country. In the areas where India was ranked 6th to 10th in the world, now has come up to the first and second rank. There has also been a significant increase in the budget of the Central Government. The agriculture budget has also increased. Whether it is the question of construction of toilets or construction of roads, India is making steady progress.
Chief Minister Chouhan started his address with the soulful words of “Kaisi Ho Meri Bahno”. The Chief Minister welcomed the Union Defence Minister in a special way. He said that Prime Minister Shri Modi and Defence Minister Shri Singh have played an important role in making India a superpower in the defence sector. There was a time when India was intimidated by small nations, now India has become powerful under the leadership of the Prime Minister and the Union Defence Minister. The central government under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Modi has completed 9 successful years. Common people are also congratulating him today.
Tractor holder families will also get the benefit of Ladli Bahna Yojana
In an important announcement, Chief Minister Chouhan said that now such families where there are tractors will also be benefitted under the Mukhyamantri Ladli Bahna Yojana. In the provisions of the scheme, it was earlier decided that the female member of the family having a four wheeler would not be eligible for the Mukhyamantri Ladli Bahna Yojana. Now the family having a tractor will also get the benefit of Mukhyamantri Ladli Bahna Yojana.
Now farmers will get Rs 6 thousand per year instead of Rs 4 thousand
Chief Minister Chouhan said that a large number of farmer brothers have come for the Kisan-Kalyan Mahakumbh. Today, the work of removing the burden of interest amount from the heads of the farmers has been done by the hands of Union Minister Shri Singh. The previous government had put this burden on the heads of the farmers. Initiative has also been taken to purchase moong from farmers in the state. With the increase in the area under irrigation, the condition of the farmers has changed. Madhya Pradesh, which once had 7.5 lakh hectare irrigation capacity, has now increased upto 45 lakh hectare. The target is to take it further to 65 lakhs. Even in Rajgarh district, the previous government had not made any arrangement for irrigation. Even the people’s representative who was the Chief Minister for 10 years could not make this arrangement. There was no electricity supply. Electricity used to remain off for hours. Now Madhya Pradesh has become self-sufficient in the production of electricity. The previous government had not even made irrigation and road arrangements. The farmers were cheated. To give them relief, even their list was not prepared. CM Shri Chouhan said that a decision will also be taken to increase the compensation of the farmers affected by the Suthaliya project. Injustice will not be allowed to happen to the farmers of Rajgarh and any district of the state.
Will make sisters lakhpati
Chief Minister Chouhan said that the sisters in the family will get Rs. 1000 under Mukhyamantri Ladli Bahna Yojana, the beneficiaries of old age pension will also get increased amount per month along with the increased amount of Kisan Samman Nidhi, the family will get strong financial support. I have resolved to make my sisters lakhpati. They will not be allowed to remain poor. Through self-help groups, the income of women will increase so much that they will be able to earn 10 thousand or more per month.
Chief Minister Chouhan assured the sisters that Mukhyamantri Ladli Bahna Yojana would work to change their lives. The process of depositing the funds of this scheme in the accounts of all the sisters has started, which will be completed today or tomorrow.
Apprising about the resolution of not letting daughters become a burden and making them a boon, Chief Minister Chouhan informed about the objectives and successful implementation of the Mukhyamantri Ladli Bahna Yojana, the Ladli Laxmi Yojana and Mukhyamantri Kanya-Vivah Yojana started earlier. These schemes have become effective in boosting the respect of women in the society. Chief Minister Chouhan said that 50 percent reservation was given to sisters and daughters in local bodies election. This ensured the participation of women in urban bodies and panchayats. If the sisters are to progress in the true sense, then it is necessary for them to get a place in panchayats and urban bodie elections. Today the sisters are running the government. Concession is being given in the registration fee for the purchase of house, shop and land in the name of women. Registry is being done on only 1% fee. This provision has been successful. An arrangement has been made to give an amount of Rs. 1000 per month to economically weak sisters under the Mukhyamantri Ladli Bahna Yojana. Small needs of home and family were not fulfilled earlier. Now women will be able to spend this amount as per their wish.
The Chief Minister said that while arranging funds under the Ladli Behna Yojana, Rs. 3000 will be provided to each sister, gradually increasing from 1000 rupees. The main objective is to change the life and destiny of women. The dreams of sisters and daughters will be fulfilled. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that the aim of my life is to change the lives of sisters. Ladli Behna Sena will make other sisters benefit from the schemes. An organization will be formed in every village. Sisters will move ahead, farmers will also move ahead.
Union Defence Minister Singh also dedicated the works completed under Gorakhpura Gramin Nal-Jal Yojana and Jal-Jeevan Mission in the programme. During this, women from 156 villages had arrived with Kalash. The villagers also expressed happiness on the occasion of newly started projects by being present in Kalipath and Karanwas. Along with the sale of residential land titles, various development works were dedicated and Bhoomi Pujan was also done in the programme. Benefits were distributed to the beneficiaries of the schemes.
