Chief Minister Chouhan said that he saw many examples of discrimination against sisters in different families and the society in the rural areas of the state. Taking cue from this, the Ladli Laxmi Yojana was formulated. After this many schemes were launched for women. Through these schemes, the work of women empowerment has been done successfully in the state. Continuous work is being done in this direction in Madhya Pradesh.

Chief Minister Chouhan said that farmers’ welfare is the utmost priority of the government in the state. Agriculture is being made a profitable business in the state. The amount of Kisan Samman Nidhi has been increased to Rs 12 thousand. The previous government had made the farmers’ defaulters. Our government has again started giving them loans for crops at zero percent interest by paying their interest amount.

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that under the Ladli Bahna Yojana, I am not only giving money to the sisters, but also giving respect and honour to them.

On the coming 10th August again an amount of Rs one thousand will be sent to the accounts of all the women.

Chief Minister Chouhan said that the daughter will not be allowed to become a burden in the state. In Ladli Laxmi Yojana, a savings certificate of 30 thousand is given instantly when a girl child is born. With the Ladli Behna Yojana, sisters are becoming capable to spend the amount for the needs of the family members. The respect of sisters is also elevated. Provision has been made for 50 percent reservation for sisters in local bodies. In the purchase of property, only one percent stamp duty is taken from the sisters in the registration. The state government has also made a provision for 30 percent places for women in the police force. I am the brother of sisters. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that economic upgradation works are conducted in the state through self-help groups. Arrangements for irrigation and drinking water have been made better. Water is being supplied from tap in every house. Those who cast an evil eye on women are being hanged and their houses are demolished.

Chief Minister Chouhan said that no person will remain homeless in the state. The previous government did not give the amount of laptops to my sons and daughters. Sambal scheme was closed. Maternity delivery assistance was also not given. Many programmes were closed. Teerth Darshan Yojana is also one of them. Now, with the resumption of the scheme, the government has started the pilgrimage by aeroplane.

Chief Minister Chouhan said that arrangements have been made to provide scooties to meritorious students and bicycles to students who go to study in other villages. The state government will pay the education fee for higher education. CM Shri Chouhan said that the scenario is changing due to several development works. Madhya Pradesh is transforming. CM Shri Chouhan said that development is taking place in the country under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. CM Shri Chouhan said that he is running the family as a member of the family, not as the Chief Minister. I am your brother and Mama. Tendupatta collectors are being benefitted. The welfare of all classes has been ensured. The public should take a pledge to participate in development.
