CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan said, “He is not the stepbrother of the sisters of the state. I always think of their welfare”. “One day at 4 o’clock in the morning a resolution came to my mind that I should gift Rakhi to my sisters and this gift should not be given on one day but every month”, he added.

He further said, “Ladli Bahna Yojana is the gift of her brother to the sisters of the state. Filling of its forms will start from March 25 and sisters will get Rs 1000 every month from June. For this, the sisters do not need to go anywhere. Government employees will come to cities, villages, and wards and get the forms filled out”.

CM Chouhan stated that respect for sisters and daughters is a top priority for the state government. Daughters are not a curse but a boon in the land of Madhya Pradesh. There is a provision for the death penalty for those who misbehave with their daughters.

“There are 44 lakh and 20 thousand beloved Lakshmis in the state. Schemes like girl marriage and maternity assistance are being run. Earlier, laptops were being given in the Medhavi Vidyarthi Yojana. Along with this, now the daughter who will get the highest marks in class 12th in the village will also be given an e-scooter. Shivraj’s maternal uncle is paying the fees for higher education under the Medhavi Vidyarthi Yojana. Medical and engineering education has also been started in the state in Hindi”, he added.

Chief Minister Chouhan further said,  “Sambal is a scheme for the welfare of the poor. In this, various types of help are given to poor families right from birth to education, etc. In case of accidental death, Rs 4 lakh is given to the family, Rs 2 lakh in case of normal death, and Rs 1 lakh in case of disability. The previous government had stopped this scheme and struck off the names of a large number of beneficiaries. Our government has started the scheme again and has also done the work of adding names. So far 13 lakh deleted names have been added”.

Mr. Chouhan said, “A large number of youth are being provided employment opportunities in the state. In the “Seekho aur Kamao” scheme, about one lakh youth will be given benefits in the next one year. The process of recruitment for one lakh 24 thousand government posts is going on in the state”. “Apart from this, one lakh youths are being linked with self-employment. Our government will pay an amount of Rs 2 thousand 500 crore towards the interest of farmers who defaulted in the previous government”, he added.

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan also announced the construction of a town hall in Mauganj, development work in an industrial area, a degree college in Hanumana, construction of ghats, road construction, and various works in the tribal sub-plan.

Assembly Speaker Girish Gautam said, “Today is a very proud and historic day for Mauganj. Due to the efforts of CM Chouhan, the years-old demand of making Mauganj a district is being fulfilled. It is a day of happiness, joy, and celebration for us”.

Labor and Mineral Resources Minister Brijendra Pratap Singh said, “Labor welfare in the state is the top priority of the government. One crore 55 lakh laborers are registered in the state, who are being given the benefit of Sambal Yojana. Online applications of the workers are taken under the scheme and information about acceptance is given on the beneficiary’s mobile only. So far, an amount of Rs 3 thousand 600 crore has been transferred to more than 4 lakh labor families in the state. Special labor schools are run for the children of laborers, which have got ISO certificates”.

Member of Parliament Janardan Mishra said, “This area has never seen so much development after independence. Today, the all-round development of the Vindhya region is taking place under the leadership of Chief Minister Chouhan. Here irrigation facility has become available in more than 3 lakh hectare of area”.
