Chief Minister Mohan Yadav of Madhya Pradesh announced plans to boost milk production to address the drought crisis affecting 12 districts, including Indore, Ujjain, and Dhar. Speaking to journalists in Bhopal, Yadav emphasized that farming and being a farmer are two distinct concepts. He stated that while farming relies on nature, farmers can engage in self-employment.
Currently, Madhya Pradesh ranks third in milk production across the country, and the government aims to climb to the top spot. To achieve this, the state is establishing milk cooperative societies to collect milk from village panchayats. Although no district has been officially declared drought-hit, farmers from these 12 districts have begun requesting a drought relief package from the government.
Yadav noted that the inauguration of Mahalok in Ujjain has already improved the district's financial situation, and the government is actively working to transform Ujjain into a smart city. Additionally, the state is reviving the Omkareshwar corridor with a budget of Rs 2,500 crore and constructing the Ramrajya temple in Chitrakoot and Orchha.
