The Chief Minister's initiatives leads women to create a distinct identity which brought positive change in MP

CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan addressed a Bhoomi-Pujan program for development and construction works in Jontala, Sehore district. He praised the state's women empowerment schemes, which have made women more self-reliant and created a distinct identity for them in various fields.

The Ladli Laxmi Yojana has enabled poor parents to free themselves from the worry of their daughters' marriage, and daughters have gained respect in society. The newly launched Mukhyamantri Ladli Behna Yojana will further empower sisters and strengthen their lives. Under the scheme, Rs 1000 per month will be deposited in the accounts of 1.25 crore sisters of the state, starting from June.

Women Reservation and Education Schemes allowed them to create a distinct identity

Chief Minister Chouhan highlighted the 50% reservation for women in local body elections and the provision of 50% reservation for women in teacher recruitment and 30% in police recruitment. The state government is also paying the full fees of medical, engineering, and IIM students from poor families. Mama coaching classes are also being conducted in Budhni for the preparation of government job exams.

Agricultural Development Schemes

The Chief Minister noted that the state government has implemented various schemes for agricultural development and farmers' welfare. These schemes have increased farmers' income and improved their standard of living. The availability of irrigation facilities has enabled farmers to cultivate crops throughout the year. The state government will purchase moong from farmers this year as well, and the registration process for farmers' sale of moong should be done smoothly to prevent middlemen and traders from exploiting farmers.
