Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated and laid the groundwork for different developmental projects totaling Rs 7,500 crore in Madhya Pradesh’s Jhabua on Sunday.
The ceremony was attended by Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and his cabinet ministers.
The projects will benefit the region’s considerable indigenous population, according to an official statement from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).
“Prime Minister will dedicate and lay the foundation stone of multiple initiatives that will benefit the significant tribal population of the region. Prime Minister will disburse monthly instalments of Aahar Anudan under Aahar Anudan Yojna to about two lakh women beneficiaries. Under this scheme, Rs 1,500 per month is provided for nutritious food to women of various especially backward tribes of Madhya Pradesh,” the PMO said in a statement.
Prime Minister Modi will also give 1.75 lakh Adhikar Abhilekh (records of rights) to SVAMITVA Scheme participants. “This will provide documentary evidence to people for the right to their land,” the PMO stated earlier.
He would also give Rs 55.90 crore to 559 villages through the Pradhan Mantri Adarsh Gram Yojana and lay the groundwork for the ‘CM Rise School’ in Jhabua.
“The school will integrate technology to provide modern facilities like smart classes, e-Library etc to students,” PMO said.
The Prime Minister will also lay the groundwork for a number of projects aimed at improving water supply and drinking water provision in Madhya Pradesh.
According to the PMO, the projects for which the foundation stone will be laid include the ‘Talavada Project,’ which is a drinking water supply scheme for over a thousand villages in Dhar and Ratlam, and 14 urban water supply schemes under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) 2.0, which will benefit over 50,000 urban households across multiple districts in Madhya Pradesh.
