Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the state government is continuously working for the welfare of farmers, the poor, youth, and women. He said the State government is truly farmer-friendly and dedicated to improving the lives of cultivators through sustained efforts.

Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav stated that a relief amount of ₹1,800 crore has already been distributed across the state to compensate farmers affected by excessive rainfall. Assistance will continue to be provided to farmers in case their crops are damaged for any reason. CM Dr. Mohan Yadav said, “A farmer toils relentlessly, investing his sweat and hard work to produce crops. When natural calamities cause damage, it becomes our duty to support them.”

Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav was addressing a relief distribution event held on Sunday in Tarana tehsil of Ujjain district. On this occasion, he transferred ₹403 crore in relief to farmers. He transferred ₹138 crore for farmers of Agar-Malwa district and ₹265 crore for farmers of Ujjain district. He also released ₹45 crore through a single-click transfer to 29 lakh women beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, including non-Ujjwala beneficiaries and women from special backward tribes. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav also performed Bhoomi Poojan and inaugurated 30 development projects worth ₹31 crore.

Solar Pumps to Empower Farmers

CM Dr. Mohan Yadav said several schemes are being implemented for the welfare of farmers. Under the solar pump scheme, farmers now need to contribute only 10 percent of the project cost, while the remaining amount will be borne by the government. The installation of solar pumps will free farmers from electricity bills and encourage them toward sustainable practices. He added that to make farmers self-reliant, the government is promoting dairy and indigenous cattle farming with subsidies. Farmers are being motivated to adopt organic and natural farming instead of using harmful chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Both the central and state governments are providing financial support through farmer honorarium schemes with the aim of increasing farmers’ income and strengthening their economic condition.
