The Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Mohan Yadav on Saturday, transferred Rs 20.6 crore as relief aid to 17,500 farmers affected by heavy rains and flooding. CM Yadav virtually interacted with the affected farmers, and also reaffirmed that farmers' welfare is the state's priority, and their goal is sensitive governance and prompt relief.
"Whenever a crisis strikes, it's our duty to reach out to the farmers. That's why I came among you even during the heavy rains and floods. We all know the role money plays in such a crisis. It's true that some relief comes with money, not completely. But this is our way of sharing your pain. It's our commitment to you, and we have a bond of trust that unites us," CM Yadav said.
"Today, with a single click, we are providing Rs 20 crores to 17,500 farmers in nearly 11 locations. Because of this, farmers always trust the BJP, our government, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” he added.
The Chief Minister further highlighted that earlier on August 8, he transferred Rs 30 crores of the relief fund to farmers, elaborating that a total of Rs 188.52 crores of financial aid has been provided so far in the financial year 2025-26 to those affected by various natural disasters across the state.
"I would like to assure farmers that the government is always standing by their side in times of crisis. The happiness of farmers is the strength of the state and the trust of the government. The farmers should get back to the field with full strength, and I hope that the loss of the farmers due to excessive rain will be covered in the next crop," the CM added.
The CM also reviewed the rainfall and flood situation in Madhya Pradesh.
Informing about the same on CM's official X handle, the post cites, "Today, from the State Situation Room located in the Ministry, a review was conducted of the ongoing rainfall in the state and the arrangements for the immersion of Ganesh idols on the occasion of Anant Chaturdashi, and through video conferencing, necessary directions were issued to the Collectors and Superintendents of Police of Ujjain, Indore, Jabalpur, Ratlam, Gwalior, and Bhopal.
