CM Dr. Mohan Yadav said that positive atmosphere created in the district for innovation and development in agriculture is remarkable and encouraging. Dindori holds special significance for him. It is a district close to his heart, and he has also served as its in-charge minister in the past. Under the leadership of its capable public representatives, Dindori has established a distinct identity in the state. CM Dr. Yadav was addressing Balram Krishi Mahotsav organised in Dindori through video conferencing from Indore Airport.
CM Dr. Yadav said that Balram Krishi Mahotsav is an important platform for connecting farmers with new opportunities, modern technologies and innovations in agriculture. The positive initiatives being undertaken in agriculture in a tribal-dominated district like Dindori are commendable. He said the state government is continuously working for farmers' welfare and economic prosperity. As part of these efforts, the government has decided to procure paddy along with kodo and kutki. This will ensure that farmers in the region receive fair returns for their produce and will also encourage traditional agricultural products.
CM Dr. Yadav said that agriculture and animal husbandry are being given special encouragement through the Kisan Kalyan Varsh in the state. This year, Gau Mata competitions are being organised in every development block. Under this initiative, outstanding cattle rearers will be honoured in Vrindavan villages in each block. After receiving details of these events, CM Dr. Yadav said that promoting cattle rearing is an important step towards strengthening the rural economy.
Extending advance greetings for Diwali, CM Dr. Yadav said that an Ayurveda College has recently been sanctioned for Dindori district. The district has also received several development projects in education, health and other sectors. He expressed confidence that these initiatives would accelerate Dindori's progress and enable the district to achieve new milestones in development in the coming years.
Senior MLA and state BJP President Shri Hemant Khandelwal was also present in Indore on the occasion. He congratulated farmers of Dindori district and organisers on Balram Krishi Mahotsav.
State Cooperative Bank Administrator Shri Mahendra Singh Yadav said that Balram Krishi Mahotsav is being organised in the name of Lord Balram as part of Kisan Kalyan Varsh. This is the 49th programme in the series. Similar events are being organised in every district of the state.
