State gets gifts of river linking projects on PM Shri Modi’s initiative: CM Dr. Yadav

Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that the MoA for the Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal river linking campaign was signed on the initiative of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and it is under his leadership that the Ken-Betwa link project is being inaugurated on 25th December. Madhya Pradesh will benefit from both projects. Prime Minister Shri Modi is coming to Khajuraho on 25th December. The Chief Minister has appealed that more and more citizens of the areas benefiting from the projects should reach Khajuraho and express their gratitude to Prime Minister Shri Modi. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav reviewed the progress of public welfare camps run in Sagar, Ujjain, and Gwalior-Chambal divisions at Samatva Bhawan (Chief Minister’s residence).

Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that these projects could be implemented only due to the efforts of Prime Minister Shri Modi. This will ensure the availability of adequate drinking water along with the expansion of irrigation facilities in the Malwa and Bundelkhand regions. The Chief Minister directed that painting and debate competitions should be organized in schools on the usage of water. Prime Minister Shri Modi should make people aware of water conservation by connecting all the gram panchayats of the state with the Bhoomi Pujan programme of the Ken-Betwa Link Project. MLAs of the assemblies benefiting from these projects should inform the local citizens about the benefits of the implementation of the projects and motivate them to use water economically.

Make proposals to link the rivers of the state

Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that both the projects are inter-state. Proposals should be made to link the rivers of the state on the basis of utility. Action plans should also be made at the district level to avail the benefits of both projects.

Public welfare works should not remain pending in the Mukhya Mantri Jankalyan Abhiyan

Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that a Jankalyan Abhiyan is being run in the state to take the benefits of public welfare schemes to every household. Public representatives and officers should ensure that public welfare works do not remain pending at any level. Teams formed in the campaign conducted door-to-door surveys and collected applications. Public representatives should also actively participate in all the camps. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav directed to take the survey of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana on priority. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that by holding a meeting at the district level, information about the public welfare works and development activities done so far should be made available to the public representatives.
