Announcement of giving 90 percent subsidy to farmers
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that if dry fields are given water, the crop turns into gold, we will provide water to every field in the state. The food givers of Madhya Pradesh are now becoming energy givers. Farmer brothers must install solar pumps in their fields. By installing solar pump, you will get relief from the cost of temporary electricity connection.

Earlier 40 percent subsidy was given.

Farmers are the backbone of Madhya Pradesh’s economy.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that due to the hard work of the farmer brothers, agriculture contributes more than 39 percent to the state’s GDP. Farmer brothers are in the true sense the backbone of the economy of Madhya Pradesh. He said that Madhya Pradesh is leading in the country in terms of production of food grains, pulses, oilseeds, fruits and vegetables. We are no less in the matter of production of plant based proteins. Madhya Pradesh is number one in the production of orange, spices, garlic, ginger and coriander. Madhya Pradesh ranks second in the production of pea, onion, chilli and guava and third in the production of flowers, medicinal and aromatic plants. He said that today Madhya Pradesh has become famous as Soybean State, Millets State, Masala State, Garlic State and Orange State and is being called the food basket of the country.
Home of Madhya Pradesh Rivers: 250 rivers originate from here.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that water is like nectar for farming. That is why water must be saved by taking every necessary measure to conserve water. Our government has started work on 3 big river interlinking projects to provide irrigation facilities in all the areas of the state. Through Parvati-Kali Sindh-Chambal (PKC) river links with Rajasthan, Bundelkhand and Chambal, Ken-Betwa with Uttar Pradesh, Bundelkhand and Tapti Mega Recharge Project with Maharashtra, we are moving towards providing permanent irrigation facility in all the areas of the state. He said that farmers are the real sons of Mother Earth. Madhya Pradesh is the motherland of rivers. More than 250 rivers originate in the state. Mother Narmada is a boon for the farmers of the state.
State government’s target up to 100 lakh hectares
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that the state government is providing solar pumps to the farmers on subsidy. Solar pumps are being given to farmers at 90 percent subsidy. 32 lakh solar pumps are being given to farmers. Farmers should install solar pumps up to 5 horse power. Increase the cost of electricity and sell excess electricity to the government. After our government came to power, now 52 lakh hectares of area has been irrigated in the state. Through river linking scheme, farmers are being provided adequate water for irrigation. If farmers’ crops get water, their crops turn into gold. The state government has set a target of increasing the area under irrigation to 100 lakh hectares. Food processing units are also being set up to ensure that farmers get fair prices for their crops, so that farmers do not have to throw away their crops due to excess production.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that earlier the compensation amount was sent after the crop season was over. But now the state government has started distributing the amount even before the soybean crop is harvested. Only the farmer’s son can understand the problems of the farmers. Under the guidance of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the farmers of the state are getting the benefits of Bhavantar Yojana. He said that farmer brothers grow food with a pure heart to feed others. The old governments did not use the water of Mother Narmada. Today the same Narmada provides water for irrigation, drinking water and industries.
Dear sisters will get additional benefit of Rs 250 from this Bhai Dooj.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that all cattle rearing farmers should celebrate the festival of Govardhan Puja with pomp and show. The state government will celebrate the festival of Govardhan Puja at the official level. Orchha Dham of Lord Shri Ram is being given a grand look in the state. He said that Ram is also developing forest paths. Every place associated with Lord Krishna is being developed as a pilgrimage site. Farmer brothers, educate your children. We should always be ready to help our friends. The Chief Minister said that this is not the Chief Minister’s residence, but the farmers’ own residence. Come here whenever you want. The Chief Minister said that last year 2 lakh farmers were registered for soybean, after the resumption of Bhavantar Yojana, more than 9 lakh soybean producing farmers have been registered. The Chief Minister said that the beloved sisters will be given an additional benefit of Rs 250 on this Bhai Dooj.
Government’s guarantee of fair price for crops to farmers
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that the state government is paying special attention to making the delivery system simpler by bringing speed and transparency in the implementation of schemes to make farmers self-reliant. He said that the well-being of farmers is the basis of our development. When the food provider (farmer) is happy, happiness spreads throughout the universe. He said that for the first time in the history of the state, soybean crop has been brought under the ambit of Bhavantar Scheme. Earlier, soybean producing farmers had to sell the crop at a price lower than the minimum support price, due to which they had to suffer huge losses. The government understood the plight of such farmers and has also brought soybean crop under Bhavantar Yojana. Our government will now compensate such farmers the amount of difference between the government purchase price of the crop and the selling price in the market. The Chief Minister said that we will guarantee fair prices to the farmers for their crops. Through Bhavantar Yojana, farmers will be given full value for their hard work. The Chief Minister said that Bhavantar Yojana is not just a scheme, it is a relationship of trust between the government and farmers. He said that it is our resolve that before the sweat of the farmer dries, his rights should reach his hands.
