Today, Madhya Pradesh, the heart of the country, is emerging with a different identity at the national level by progressing and developing in various fields.
Be it the schemes of the Center or the State Government’s own public welfare schemes, the Shivraj Government of Madhya Pradesh is becoming a leading State in the whole country with its outstanding performance.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who had virtually participated in the state level Pradhan Manri Gareeb Anna Kalyan Yojana programme of Madhya Pradesh, the state which is known for its foodgrain distribution to the beneficiaries of Public Distribution System had also said that under the leadership of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Madhya Pradesh is no longer a BIMARU state.
This statement of Prime Minister Modi is a matter of pride for Madhya Pradesh.
The achievement of Madhya Pradesh in the recent nationwide vaccination campaign to prevent Corona infection is better than other states. Madhya Pradesh has created a national record of vaccination twice in the Vaccination Mahabhiyan.
Similarly, Madhya Pradesh has made a different identity in the implementation of schemes related to the life of the common man.
If we look at last year’s implementation of schemes and achievements, Madhya Pradesh ranked first in the country in procurement of wheat on support price. In the first and second wave of Corona, Madhya Pradesh has been leading n the country in Agriculture Infrastructure Fund Scheme, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana, loan distribution to street vendors under Pradhan Mantri Swanidhi Yojana, Smart City Ranking, Jal Jeevan Mission, Accessible Business Ranking, ration distribution in public distribution system and in the implementation of various other schemes and programmes including making of the roadmap of Madhya Pradesh under Atmanirbhar Bharat.
Recently, by implementing the National Education Policy-2020 in the state, Madhya Pradesh has again proved to be leading among other states in the country.
The interest of the people of the state has been paramount in the work done by Shivraj Singh Chouhan during his tenure as the Chief Minister.
Along with infrastructure building, new schemes were also implemented by making many innovations in the field of beneficiary-oriented schemes and good governance.
The system created for continuous monitoring of each scheme at different levels has been helpful in successful implementation of the schemes.
Madhya Pradesh has emerged with its own distinct identity in making innovations as per the needs of the people according to the ground situation. During the Corona period, new schemes were implemented in public interest, providing all possible help to the people of the state, which has become a shelter for the affected people today.
The Mukhya Mantri Kisan-Kalyan Yojana proved to be very helpful for the farmers during the Corona period. At the same time, the Chief Minister Covid-19 Child Welfare Scheme became the guardian for those children whose parents died due to Corona infection.
