BJP will siege veteran Congress leaders in Madhya Pradesh assembly elections
MMNN:6 May 2023

Bhopal : Both BJP and Congress parties are busy preparing for Madhya Pradesh Assembly Elections 2023. Where the Congress is giving the message of being strong by breaking the strong leaders of the BJP. At the same time, the BJP is preparing a strategy to tie the veteran leaders of the Congress to their homes. The party has chalked out a strategy to siege leaders like Congress stalwarts Dr. Govind Singh, Ajay Singh, Jitu Patwari, Sajjan Singh Verma, Jaivardhan Singh, Priyavrat Singh, Laxman Singh, Umang Singhar, Tarun Bhanot, Bala Bachchan, Sachin Yadav. BJP will also field a strong candidate against them and with aggressive campaigning will weaken the leaders around them by bringing them into the BJP.

The Congress is pulling strings on those strong BJP leaders, whose traditional constituencies have been captured by the new BJP. Such leaders include former ministers like Deepak Joshi. Joshi is soon going to join the Congress.
By including such leaders in their party, the Congress wants to send a message that the BJP is now weakening. In the state also, due to this, the atmosphere towards BJP gets spoiled.
The BJP is also preparing such a strategy that all the bigoted leaders of the Congress should be besieged in such a way that they cannot come out of their constituency in the elections. The BJP has fielded its team in the field of these veteran leaders. Efforts have been started to bring the petty leaders there into the BJP. The BJP is trying to bring everyone along with it, be it panch-sarpanch, councilor or district-district panchayat leader.
Leader of Opposition in the Vidhan Sabha Dr. Govind Singh asked them to take care of themselves when Congress leaders of BJP were tied up at home and made to join the party. None of our leaders will budge from the toss. BJP's boat is about to sink. Party leaders have been under siege for a long time. The public will give a befitting reply to the BJP in this election.

Narottam seeks reply from Kamal Nath on Congress's announcement to ban Bajrang Dal in Karnataka
MMNN:3 May 2023

Bhopal : During the Karnataka assembly elections, politics has been heated all over the country regarding banning the Bajrang Dal along with the banned Islamic organization PFI in its election manifesto by the Congress. The BJP has been a constant attacker of the Congress's promise to ban the Bajrang Dal, linking it to 'Bajrangbali'. Now the home minister of the state Narottam Mishra has surrounded the Congress as well as Kamal Nath on this issue and has demanded him to prove his devotion to Hanuman. Narottam Mishra has also written a letter to Kamal Nath in this context, in which he has asked whether Kamal Nath agrees with banning Bajrang Dal. Clarify the situation regarding what he himself thinks about the demand for ban on Bajrang Dal.

Narottam wrote in the letter - 'Kamal Nath ji, I have seen many videos and pictures of you, in which your devotion to Lord Bajrangbali is displayed. Your devotion to Bajrangbali has been seen and heard from time to time through the medium of media. Thus, there is no Bajrang devotee who is not hurt by the announcement of the ban on the Bajrang Dal by the Congress in Karnataka. Digvijaya Singh, a veteran leader of your party, also agrees with this point of the Karnataka manifesto and he is repeating the ban imposed on the Bajrang Dal during his tenure as Chief Minister in the East. In this case, I request you to make it clear from your response on this matter whether you are in favor of this decision or against it.

A special programme of Mann Ki Baat was organised in Sandipani, the huge auditorium of the Raj Bhavan.

Mann Ki Baat strengthened people's faith in democracy and governance

Governor Shri Mangubhai Patel while addressing the invited guests before the start of the programme said that on the basis of his experience of working for 14 years as a member of the Cabinet of Prime Minister Shri Modi during his tenure as Chief Minister of Gujarat, he can say that Shri Modi ji is a very sensitive person. His sensitivity includes humans and animals alike. Shri Patel mentioned two incidents of sensitivity of the Prime Minister. He told that when there was an incident of the hunting of a lion in Sasan Gir National Park, Shri Modi as the Chief Minister of Gujarat immediately reached the spot. Late in the night, without worrying about his life, he went to the middle of the forest and reviewed the incident on the spot. Similarly, during the flood in Surat city, sitting in a boat in the middle of 14 feet deep water, he reached among the flood victims without any delay to learn their pain and suffering. Governor Shri Patel said that the Mann Ki Baat programme is a wonderful platform to connect the Prime Minister directly with the public in a democratic system. Modi ji is an orator of extraordinary talent, universally gifted, who pays attention to the nuances of the people. By understanding the emotions, he establishes direct contact with them. This is the reason that today he has been recognised as the most loved and unique politician of the world's largest democracy. He has greatly strengthened the faith of the people in democracy and governance. Listeners of Mann Ki Baat get inspiration and self-confidence from Modi ji on selfless works, stories of change makers, service works, innovation and self-confidence.

Mann Ki Baat transformed the masses into manpower

Governor Shri Patel said that Mann Ki Baat is really such a people's revolution, which has reached every nook and corner of the country. This is such a charisma, which has converted the masses into manpower. Has enabled India to face Covid, the biggest tragedy of the century. He said that the appeal made in Mann Ki Baat boosted the morale of the people in the time of disaster and encouraged the Covid Warriors. It has also done an unprecedented miracle of converting efforts like Janata curfew and vaccination into a mass movement. This miracle happened because sensitive Modi ji's Mann Ki Baat touched the heart of every Indian. If we talk about the most successful government campaign of independent India, then undoubtedly it is the cleanliness campaign started by Prime Minister Modi ji. The basis of the success of the campaign was to make people an integral and important part of the campaign, the very next day after the launch of the campaign, the Prime Minister talked about the construction of toilets before the temple in the first episode of Mann Ki Baat on 3 October 2014. It is the result of the efforts of Prime Minister Shri Modi that the thinking of the general public has become such that no one litters at home, outside or even in public places. If someone does, people stop and forbid him. Shri Patel said that Mann Ki Baat is the energy force for building a better India, which is becoming the strength of efforts to establish India as a world leader.

Narottam, agitated by the controversial statement of Mallikarjun Kharge on PM Modi, said – Congress's mentality is poisonous
MMNN:28 April 2023

Bhopal : The political uproar that erupted after Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge in his speech at an election rally in Karnataka described Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a poisonous snake is not taking its name. Even though Kharge has expressed regret for his statement later, giving clarification, but BJP leaders are continuously attacking him. State Home Minister Dr. Narottam Mishra retorted on this statement of Kharge and said that in reality the mentality, culture and ideology of Congress is poisonous. Taunting Kharge, he said that I am surprised from where he gets so much poison in his words. Does he go to 10 Janpath to recharge? When Gujarat elections were held, he spoke there. When elections were held here, they spoke here. Narottam Mishra further said that in fact the mentality of Congress is poisonous and their culture is also poisonous. Rahul Gandhi was punished just for speaking. Charges were framed against Digvijay Singh only for speaking. These are people without mass base and keep giving such statements to stay in discussions. The ideology of Congress itself is becoming poisonous. It does not suit him to speak such poisonous things for Prime Minister Modi, the father of Amrit Mahotsav and Good Governance. Modiji has raised the prestige of India in the world. Today the whole of India and the world takes pride in the name of Modiji.

Digvijay Singh also tightened

Narottam also took a jibe at Congress leader and former Chief Minister Digvijay Singh. Digvijay had recently told party workers at one place that he has come out to join the Congress. On this statement of his, Narottam said that whatever Digvijay Singh is saying, he has already been speaking, but Kamal Nath is not understanding. No one comes to their meeting. That's why they are roaming around gathering the Congress and speaking poisonous words.

Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that the meaning of Civil Services Day is that we are public servants and our main aim is to serve the country. In a democracy, there is governance of the people, for the people and by the people. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that the theme of Civil Services Day 2023 is ‘Developed India, Empowering Citizens and Reaching the Last Mile’. Congratulating Team Madhya Pradesh, he said that he is proud that together they have made a very important contribution in making Madhya Pradesh prosperous and developed. Team Madhya Pradesh has worked unitedly. Rapid positive changes have taken place in Madhya Pradesh. We have surprisingly increased the capacity of irrigation from 7.5 lakh hectare to 45 lakh hectare. Crossing this, we will now work to increase it up to 65 lakh hectares. Today 4 lakh kilometers of roads have been built in the state. At some point of time it used to be only 71 thousand kms and was in poor condition. Now there are excellent roads in the state.
Amazing work has been done in various fields including energy in the state. We are able to work as the state now has good resources. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that the construction department should also remain active in the state. Today Madhya Pradesh is counted among the developed state, Madhya Pradesh is no more a bimaru state. The credit for this goes to the extraordinary hard work of Team Madhya Pradesh. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that our work is not possible without the common people due to whom we are able to reach the beneficiaries. Vikas yatras have become Jan-kalyan yatras in the state.
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that talking of infrastructure in the state, a lot of positive changes have taken place. Agricultural production has increased manifold. The grain stores are full. Per capita income has increased. The contribution of Madhya Pradesh in the country’s GSDP has increased. In the year 2005-06, the budget size of the state was Rs 25 thousand crores, which has increased to Rs one lakh crore in the year 2012-13, Rs two lakh crore in the year 2020-21 and this time it has crossed Rs 3 lakh crore, which is not a cakewalk. It is an exceptional achievement. Madhya Pradesh has taken a comparatively higher jump, the credit of which goes to Team Madhya Pradesh.

Good governance has helped to end public and administration’s distance

Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that the distance between the public and the administration has been bridged in the state, which has become possible due to the efforts of good governance. The Mukhyamantri Jan-Seva Abhiyan succeeded in connecting more than 83 lakh beneficiaries with the schemes of the Central and State Governments. Our programs became the programs of the people. People have also participated in the decisions. Campaign will be conducted again from May 10 to 25 to redress public grievances.
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that the civil servants have to accept this challenge that the citizens do not have to wander from pillar to post for their work. Problems should be solved through camps in the wards of villages and cities. Several measures were implemented in the direction of good governance including CM Helpline. Public hearing, one-day governance and Samadhan online are such measures. By connecting these with technology, attention has to be paid to remove the anomalies that come up along with the settlement of tasks. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan also mentioned in detail the role of a civil servant through the shlokas of Gita.

Best role of good governance and officers in Madhya Pradesh

Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that work has been done continuously in the field of good governance in Madhya Pradesh. In Burhanpur, the work of providing water to every house and implementation of Gati Shakti project has been done. Many innovations have also taken place at the administrative level in the state. Most of the civil servants are performing their best role and the work of putting the public welfare policies of the government on the ground is being done efficiently. Civil servants of the state also have the quality of fast implementation, more than one crore registrations and creation of necessary atmosphere in two months after the formation of Mukhya Mantri Ladli Bahna Yojana is an example of this.
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that the civil servant is also a leader and his responsibility is also to boost everyone's enthusiasm by treating them equally. There should be no arrogance in the person. There should be no lack of enthusiasm. Find a way to resolve problems with patience. The attitude should be to cheer up even a person who is surrounded by despair. As a person thinks, so he also becomes. The civil servant does not work only for himself, but his work affects the public and the whole country. There should be the art of making irrelevant work relevant. If a person wants, he can change the perception of the world towards the country. All the countrymen have experienced this thing. Similarly a civil servant can change the department by working in the right direction. Civil servants should try to give maximum contribution. That's why civil services have been considered useful for the nation, not just for the individual.

Work with joy and happiness

Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that Swami Vivekananda has described man as a storehouse of infinite powers. It is necessary to make full efforts in any work. If you are not successful in one attempt, then you must try again. Time should also be put to good use. Every single moment is precious. As long as one has life, every moment should be used to make the lives of others better. Often happiness does not come from wealth. Working with honesty gives good results. The enthusiasm with which the officers worked during the Corona period is worth being proud of. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan called upon the civil servants to work with joy and happiness. Taking care of all the members in the family, it is easy to perform one's official duties with full concentration. Such a life is relevant. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that for the goal of Atmanirbhar Madhya Pradesh, we are moving ahead by working expeditiously. This work has to be completed with full devotion.

Plans made on the suggestions of the public

Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that the people of Madhya Pradesh are also participating in development works. Be it Madhya Pradesh Jan-Abhiyan Parishad or other organisations, all of them together are partners in the implementation of the schemes. Many schemes in Madhya Pradesh have been made on the suggestions of the general public. An ideal work culture has been created in the state. The distance between the public and the collector has ended in the districts.

Civil servants have lived up to the expectations

Chief Secretary Shri Iqbal Singh Bains said that the country has a long tradition of civil services. Our administrative system faces with determination the special circumstances and challenging situations. Shri Bains said that in his long tenure, he does not remember such an occasion when we were given some special responsibility and did not live up to the expectation. The Chief Secretary said that it is a matter of satisfaction and pride to work with such an efficient team. He said that whether it is a matter of the Corona period or the organisation of Simhastha or be the occasion to take action against the mafia, development of infrastructure or arrangements to solve the problems of the public, the history of many achievements has been created in all administrative dimensions in Madhya Pradesh. The Chief Secretary said that whatever work we do is analysed. Many shortcomings also come to the fore and many good works are ignored in front of the shortcomings. We should also be careful about publicizing and interpreting our best works.
Initially, Chief Minister Shri Chouhan and the guests inaugurated the Civil Service Day by lighting the lamp. CM Shri Chouhan was welcomed by Shri Anirudh Mukherjee.

aa Social revolution is taking place in the state for women empowerment: Chief Minister Shri Chouhan
Bhopal:MMNN: 20 March 2023

Bhopal.Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that social revolution is taking place in Madhya Pradesh for women empowerment. Schemes like Mukhya Mantri Kanya Vivah Yojana, Ladli Laxmi Yojana, 50 percent reservation for women in local elections, reservation in police recruitment, livelihood mission and Sambal are being implemented successfully. Now the Ladli Bahna Yojana has been started, which will not only lead to overall development of women, but will also increase their respect and self-confidence in the society.
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan was addressing the Ladli Bahna Sammelan at Lanji in Balaghat district today. He distributed benefits under various schemes to the sisters. Initially, Chief Minister Shri Chouhan performed Kanya-Pujan and welcomed the sisters by showering flowers. Sisters presented Rakhi to the Chief Minister. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan handed over a check of Rs 10 lakh to sister Anjali Choure, who runs Didi Cafe under the National Rural Livelihood Mission.
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that the aim of my life is the welfare of sisters. If there is laughter on the lips of the sisters, then the life of the brother is successful. The respect of women is highest in Madhya Pradesh. Sisters don't tolerate any kind of injustice, your brother is always with you. Don't worry about the marriage of sisters and daughters, Shivraj Mama will get them married.
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that before becoming the Chief Minister, my wife and I used to get poor daughters married together. When I became the Chief Minister, I first started the Mukhyamantri Kanya Vivah Yojana. The previous government did not give the benefit of this scheme to anyone. Now we have decided that under this scheme a check of Rs 50,000 will be given to the daughters and Rs 6,000 to the organizing body.
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that daughters have been made a boon instead of a curse in Madhya Pradesh. In the Ladli Lakshmi Yojana, 30 thousand rupees are deposited in the name of a girl child as soon as she is born, so that she gets funds from time to time for her studies etc. Today there are 44 lakh 50 thousand dear Lakshmi daughters in Madhya Pradesh. The maternal uncle also pays the fees for the education and higher education of the daughters.
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that today a large number of sisters are representing in the Panchayats. They have got political empowerment. In Madhya Pradesh, 50 percent seats in panchayats have been reserved for sisters. Women are also being given reservation in police recruitment. Self-help groups of women are formed by the Rural and Urban Livelihood Mission and financial and other assistance is provided to them for various activities. Due to this their economic and social empowerment is taking place. At the same time, their self-confidence is increasing.
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that ever since he became the Chief Minister this time, the thought was constantly coming in his mind as to what gift he should give to the sisters. I thought of giving gifts to sisters not once but every month. Last January 28 at 4 am the concept of Ladli Bahna Yojana came to my mind and I decided that every month I will put 1000 rupees in the account of poor and lower middle class sisters. The benefit of Ladli Bahna Yojana will be given to all those sisters whose family's annual income is less than two and a half lakh rupees. Sisters will not have to give any income certificate for this. Just a form has to be filled, which our employees will come to your village/locality and get it filled. Along with this, they will also get your e-KYC done.
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that the filling of forms for Ladli Bahna Yojana will start from March 25, which will continue till April 30. Money will start coming into the accounts of the sisters from coming 10th June. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan clearly said that there is no need to give any amount to the sisters to take advantage of the scheme. In each case for e-KYC, the government will give Rs 15 to the organization doing KYC. If any person demands any amount from the sisters, then complain about it immediately on 181, action will be taken against that person. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that women should play their part in the implementation of the scheme by joining the “Ladli Bahna Sena”. The Chief Minister called upon to raise voice against domestic violence, social evils and injustice. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that from coming April 1, all liquor vends will be closed in the state.

Bhopal:MMNN: 19 March 2023

Bhopal.Chief Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that Mukhyamantri Ladli Bahna Yojana has been made for the empowerment of sisters. The most important thing in empowerment is economic empowerment. If sisters have money, then they also have self-confidence and a sense of self-respect is also awakened. That's why we have decided to put 1000 rupees every month in the account of every eligible sister under Mukhyamantri Ladli Bahna Yojana. Those sisters who are between 23 to 60 years of age, married, family income less than Rs 2.5 lakh per annum and families having less than 5 acres of land will be eligible under the scheme. Family means husband, wife and their children. One thousand rupees will come in the account of such eligible sisters every month. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said this in a message issued on social and electronic media.

Sisters do not need to go to public service center or anywhere else



Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that it is my duty that my sisters do not face any problem. Hence the application process in the scheme has been made very simple. The forms of the scheme will be filled in the wards of your village and city. Sisters do not need to go to Public Service Center or anywhere else. Our employees will come to all the villages and get the forms filled. For this, camps will start from March 25. Camps will be held until the applications of all the sisters are filled.

Composite ID. If you have aadhar number then there will be no problem



Chief Minister Shri Chouhan told that apart from registering their name, husband's name, mobile number etc. in the application, the sisters should have three essential information. First- your or your family's Samagra ID, second- your Aadhaar number and third- your mobile number registered in Samagra. If the sisters have this information, then they will have no problem. Application will be filled and after that e-KYC will be done. For this the sisters do not need to go anywhere. E-KYC process will be completed in village and city wards only. Where there is no connectivity, if there is a need to take the sisters to another village or common service center, the government will arrange a vehicle for them.

If someone asks for money, complain on CM helpline number 181



Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that no fee will be charged for e-KYC. Rs 15 will be paid by the government to the respective Common Service Centers for one e-KYC. If someone asks any sister for money for e-KYC, then you can register a complaint by calling the CM helpline number 181. Such people will be sent to jail. There is no need to give a single penny to the sisters. If my sisters are in trouble, what's the point of being my brother. So be sure - don't worry. Stay in your village, city. Our team will contact you, bring you to the camp and get all the formalities done. E-KYC is being done so that the money goes into the accounts of the sisters only. Rest assured sisters, all their worries are ours.


aa Chief Minister Shri Chouhan felicitated Prime Minister Shri Modi for PM Mitra Park in Madhya Pradesh
Bhopal:MMNN: 17 March 2023

Bhopal.Chief Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan has felicitated Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for setting up "PM Mitra" Mega Integrated Textile Park in Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that this decision of the Prime Minister is to promote investment in the textile sector and generate employment. Will prove helpful in creating many opportunities.

Many states have shown interest in setting up PM Mitra Park and have given their proposals to the Ministry of Textiles. The list of selected states has been announced on 17 March 2023 after a year long evaluation, discussion and information sharing. Madhya Pradesh is also included in the 7 states selected for setting up PM Mitra Park. The PM Mitra sites were selected by the Central Government through a challenge method.

PM Mitra Park Scheme



The Union Ministry of Textiles had launched the PM Mitra Park Scheme worth Rs 4,445 crore to set up 7 Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM Mitra) Parks. The objective of the scheme is to develop integrated large scale and modern industrial infrastructure facilities for the entire value chain of the textile industry. The scheme is inspired by the Prime Minister's 5-F vision - from Farm to Fiber, from Fiber to Factory, from Factory to Fashion and from Fashion to Foreign. It aspires to fulfill the vision of building a 'Self-reliant India' and firmly establish India on the global textile map.

The Madhya Pradesh government is keen to set up an integrated large-scale textile and apparel park over 1,000 acres of land parcel with world-class industrial infrastructure, which will attract state-of-the-art technology. Along with this, FDI and local investment will be promoted in the textile sector.
The park is planned to be developed with all basic infrastructure facilities like internal roads, power distribution infrastructure, water and waste water treatment plants, plug and play infrastructure development, factory sites, incubation centres, etc. The park will also include ancillary facilities, including a common pretreatment unit, common effluent treatment plant (CETP), workers' hostels and housing (especially for women workers), health facilities, training and skill development, storage, logistics etc.
The proposed park with integrated textile value chain at one place will reduce the logistics cost of the industry and improve the competitiveness of the entire value chain of textile and apparel industry in the state. Employment generation will get a boost from this park, which will provide employment to one lakh direct and 2 lakh indirect people. The Central Government will support the establishment of the proposed park in the form of 'Development Capital Support' (DCS) of Rs 500 crore (Rs 300 crore + Rs 200 crore) in 2 phases.
In order to encourage the manufacturing units to be set up soon in the proposed PM Mitra Park, a provision has been made to give Rs 300 crore per park in 'Competitive Incentive Assistance' (CIS). The unit set up in the park will be provided incentive up to 3 per cent of the total sales turnover. The benefit will be available on “First Come-First Serve” basis subject to the prescribed conditions.
The eco-system for the textile and apparel sector is well developed in Madhya Pradesh. The state has good availability of raw materials (such as cotton, silk and man-made fibers) and a progressive textile policy framework. The state has attracted investors in this sector from across the country. Madhya Pradesh produces cotton, it also has ginning and spinning units to convert cotton into yarn, which is converted into cloth. Presently the state also has apparel units. The units in the state export cotton, yarn and garments. In this way, Madhya Pradesh fulfills the 5-F vision of Prime Minister Shri Modi. PM Mitra Park will further strengthen the development of textile and apparel industry in Madhya Pradesh, which will provide employment and prosperity to the people here.
Madhya Pradesh has received the maximum investment of Rs 3,513 crore in the central government's Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for the textile sector. PM Mitra Park Yojana will provide an excellent opportunity to fulfill the vision of 'Make in India' and 'Make for the World'.

Addressing the workshop, the Chief Minister Shri Kamal Nath said that the global economic scenario is changing rapidly. Therefore, the financial institutions and the governments also need to change their thought-process. He said that in a vast country like India has largest society of aspirational youth and increased budget resources are required to fulfill their ambitions. He said that it is becoming challenging to mobilize financial resources for the changed and constantly changing India and its States. Therefore, banks, state governments and private sector institutions need to adopt the change. He laid stress on deviating from the process of conventional budget making process and working on alternative processes and innovative ideas. He said that it has become necessary to focus attention on the economic activities that generate jobs.
The Chief Minister said that in a State like Madhya Pradesh, there are abundant natural resources but in expanding economic activities, they are far behind. He said that efforts are being made to make Madhya Pradesh's agriculture fully modernized so that the economic activities associated with agriculture can also be expanded. He said that Madhya Pradesh is far ahead in agricultural production but there are many obstacles in exploiting the market potential.
The Chief Minister said that the budget resources mobilization of many countries is excellent even without laws like fiscal responsibility and budget management. He said that there is a reduction of Rs. 14 thousand crores in Madhya Pradesh's share in the Union Budget. He emphasized on having a new vision and fresh approach to managing budget resources and improving governance.
Shri Ahluwalia said that designing projects, making budget provisions for them and completing them within available resources is a common practice across the world. The fact is that governments have limited financial resources for ambitious projects. The Governments have many tasks, responsibilities, priorities and social obligations apart from economic infrastructure projects. There are many challenges in completing them simultaneously. As a result, the speed of projects slows down and they start lagging behind. He said that there is a need to think beyond the conventional approach of depending on budgetary resources. In such a situation, States look towards the private sector for assistance. The private sector is fearful of risks and threats while the governments are bound by the welfare principles beyond the loss and profit. Both have their limitations. Therefore, there is a need for a law to work in cooperation between the two.
Shri Ahluwalia said that instead of managing finances for large economic infrastructural projects, the system of providing guarantee by the state should also be considered. The governments should assume the role of a friend in managing the financial risks for the projects. For example, in order to deal with the ill effects of climate change, infrastructure projects of economic importance should be given a guarantee. These may include irrigation and water conservation projects. He said that considering the density of forest resources, Madhya Pradesh can ​​raise budget resources on its basis. This process can also be adopted for sector-specific dedicated infrastructure projects.
Finance Minister Mr. Tarun Bhanot gave welcome address. The Chief Secretary Shri S.R. Mohanty said that Madhya Pradesh is not new to innovative practice of mobilizing budget resources. The B.O.T. road projects and Rogi Kalyan Samitis for hospital management are the best examples.
The workshop was attended by top officers of banks, budget experts from the corporate sector, scholars with special abilities in budget formulation and senior officials of departments. Earlier, Chief Minister Mr. Kamal Nath presented a memento to Shri Ahluwalia.

The Chief Minister said that water crisis is increasing due to our negligence and lack of understanding, which will become more serious in future. He stated that at the international platform during the Earth Summit in 1982, he had raised the issue that the environment and forests are safe as long as we have water. Hence, we will have to work first to save water and to conserve and protect water bodies. Shri Kamal Nath said that today our 65 dams and 165 reservoirs are drying up. Local bodies are able to provide water to citizens in 2 to 4 days. This crisis will further deepen in future. We have to be concerned about it from today. He said that our environmentalists and volunteers, working in the field of water conservation with dedication will have to play an important role in this. He said that if we do not take care about it from today, the future generation will not forgive us.
Shri Kamal Nath mentioned that our aim in bringing the Right to Water Act, is to create awareness among the people to save water and to act as a companion with the Government in water conservation. He said that he expects from the people working in the field of water conservation to give their important suggestions to make this law practical and effective. They should also suggest measures how to ensure water for people in future. Shri Kamal Nath said that many new technologies for water conservation and increasing ground water level are available today.

The Minister for Public Health Engineering, Shri Sukhdev Panse said that under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Kamal Nath, this government is going to give legal rights to the people for adequate water, water in access and drinking water. Madhya Pradesh will be the first state in the country to give such a right.
Shri Panse said that every aspect from saving every drop of rain and supplying it to the house will be included in the Water Rights Act. Water recycling, water recharging, distribution and use will also come under the purview of this law. He said that at present, 72% of the population of the state lives in 0.1 lakh 28 thousand habitations in 55000 villages. Ninety eight percentage of the drinking water system of villages is based on ground water. That is why the declining ground water level is increasing the water crisis every year. He said that in the coming five years as per the intention of the Chief Minister, we will provide 55 litres per person pure and clean water through taps in every household in the state. Shri Panse said that he is sure that the detailed discussions on the right to water today would definitely lead to better conclusions.

All the State Governments should follow this initiative of Madhya Pradesh.

aa Change mindset, change profile of Madhya Pradesh, go from e-governance to We-governance
Bhopal:MMNN: 3 January 2020

Bhopal.Chief Minister Shri Kamal Nath, while extending New Year wishes to everyone during the first meeting of the New Year with senior administrative officials at the Mantralaya here today, discussed the priorities of the government. The Chief Minister said in his address that the government is now a year old. The government’s approach to the administrative machinery has become clear. He said that everyone has put the government on test. He said that every government and Chief Minister has his own vision and style of functioning and the administration machinery also has its own methods.
The Chief Minister, while counting the priorities of the government in the new year, said that bringing about a change in thinking is utmost necessary. A new identity of Madhya Pradesh will be created only by a change in mindset. He said that there should be no difference in the way the government thinks and the administrative system works.
The Chief Minister said that there has been a change in the administration methods that the Britishers taught in the country. The Britishers only taught how to protect the interests of the state. Today, protecting the interests of common citizens, consumers and beneficiaries is being prioritized. He said that the government now needs to be friendly and cooperative with full accountability. He urged to consider necessary changes in the rules, laws, procedures and to give suggestions with self inspiration. He said that many schemes remain incomplete due to lack of budget and many other reasons. There is need to focus on the schemes pending with the central government on priority. Take full advantage of the central schemes and remove the obstacles. The Chief Minister said that we cannot change time but time will definitely change us, so work with time to move forward and take the state ahead.
The Chief Minister said that there is a need to work together on how to change the profile of Madhya Pradesh. An atmosphere of trust and confidence should be created in the state so that a new identity of Madhya Pradesh is created in the country. The Chief Minister said that the biggest challenge is to improve governance and administration. It starts from the senior level to the lower level. Every department must make contribution and play role in this process.
Shri Nath said that every department will also have to see what new changes are happening in other states related to its field. We must learn from the success and failures of others. For this, he told to create a review cell in every department and make a vision document. He told not to depend on the formality of correspondence to resolve the pending schemes in the central government, but constantly contact the concerned authorities and find out solutions so that the state will get the full benefits of the budget provisions and schemes.
E-governance to We-governance
The Chief Minister told the officers that more attention needs to be given on enabling service delivery systems so that common citizens can get full benefits of it. The more effective the service delivery system, the more effective administration will be. He said that now there is a need to move from e-governance to We-governance. Old systems must be reviewed and changes must be made in ineffective systems to make them effective. He said that there is some drawback of every change, but it is not right to ignore big gains for small losses.
The Chief Minister said that tribal welfare and forest wealth protection are among the significant priorities of the government. He told to study the good works happening in other states as well. The attitude of not changing with the changes and times is not right. A committee must be formed in every department to study the good work being done in other states.
The Chief Minister said that the system of giving quick approval in the field of industry should be implemented so that investors do not have to wander to complete formalities. Talking about clean cities, the Chief Minister said that Indore and Bhopal are lauded. Beyond this, it will be necessary to think about what new dimensions can be added in the field of cleanliness. The Chief Minister said that while considering the provision of compulsory painting for large government and non-government buildings built on the side of the roads, enacting a law is also being considered with a view to enhance the beauty of the cities. He said that a small effort will be made to bring about a change in attitude.
Land Management Authority to be constituted
The Chief Minister also briefed about the formation of Land Management Authority with the objective of using unused lands owned by various departments in public interest. He said that every department should review how much land is useful for them and how much is lying unused. He said on such land, schemes like construction of houses for poor can be made.
The Chief Minister said that departments need not be too sensitive for land ownership as such lands will ultimately be used in the public interest. Mentioning about the government's land near BHEL, he said that it is neither being used by the government nor it is being used by the BHEL. The departments should either use the land or allow the land available with them to be used.
Staff Selection Commission within a week
The Chief Minister Shri Kamal Nath said that the Staff Selection Commission should start functioning in the next one week. Complete all its formalities. As regard to the Skill Development, he said that it is important to assess the success achieved in skill development work and priority should be decided which skills are useful for employment. Pay attention on the skills that are necessary for the state. Cooperate fully to encourage economic activities, he added.
Referring to the launch of the second phase of loan waiver of farmers, the Chief Minister said that there is a scope for Madhya Pradesh to become a horticulture capital not only of India but also of the world. Fully capitalize this scope. There is a lot of potential for floriculture. The food processing is an integrally connected field with this sector. He said that we have to strive together how to connect Madhya Pradesh with the changes taking place in the world. He said the change will continue at its own pace. If the steps are not taken with the change, we will be left behind.
Regarding the Education sector, the Chief Minister said that there is a need to do lot more in the field of education. He mentioned that at present there is a lack of quality in education from college to primary level. There is a need to improve the standard. Strategic efforts have to be enhanced. We will have to start from the primary schools. He said that a huge budget is spent in the field of education but without improving the education quality, we are unable to gain in future.
Campaign against drug companies manufacturing spurious medicines
Referring to the priority of the health sector, the Chief Minister said that there is a need to appoint Ayurvedic doctors in every primary health centre and to ensure optimum use of schemes like Ayushman.
The Chief Minister stated that it has become a trend to use departmental budget in the month of January, February and March. It is important to avoid this trend. Referring to the ‘Shuddh ke liye Yuddh’ campaign, the Chief Minister said that the situation to fight for purity is unpleasant in itself. He further mentioned that now campaign will be launched against the companies involved in manufacturing of spurious medicines. He further added that in the public interest, he is committed to make Madhya Pradesh a state of purity. Similarly, he is also committed to abolish mafias. Shri Kamal Nath mentioned that the common men should not be considered as mafia for violation of law. He said that the government will not tolerate blackmailing mafias, which pressurize as individual or group. The Chief Minister said that the government will have to take steps to empower the tribal community, dwelling in the forest areas by adopting a collaborative stand. Even with evidence, it is not appropriate to ask for the record from such poor people and to follow the old trend.
The Chief Minister said that eradication of malnutrition is one of the priorities. Apart from this we will have to work further keeping in view the high potential in tourism in the state. He said that Madhya Pradesh has more potential in comparison to other states and the state can overtake many states in heritage tourism.
The Chief Secretary Shri S.R. Mohanty shed light on the achievements of the previous year.

aa Attempt to change mentality of saying no to yes
Bhopal:MMNN: 18 December 2019

Bhopal.Chief Minister Shri Kamal Nath has said that the governance-administration must have a positive outlook for the progress of the state and effective implementation of public welfare schemes. He said that after becoming Chief Minister, I have made an effort to change the mindset of saying no, to the mindset of saying yes to improve the system. He said that I am preparing such a profile of Madhya Pradesh that the identity of the state should be established not only in the country but in the whole world. Shri Kamal Nath was releasing the book “Chunav hai badlav ka” written by journalist Brijesh Rajput at a private hotel today. On this occasion, Public Relations Minister Shri P.C. Sharma was also present.
The Chief Minister said that it is easiest to say no to any work because on saying yes you have to do the work and give results. He said that after becoming the Chief Minister, the biggest challenge before me was how to change this mindset in the system. Shri Nath said that my efforts in this direction are continuous. He said that political change does not bring change, we also have to see what change has come in the way of working of the machinery that is working in the delivery system. He said that today there has been a change in every field, the expectations of the people for whom we are working have increased. In such a situation, it is necessary that the way of working of our system also changes so that we can get better results.
The Chief Minister said that I can see from the perspective of voters why they wanted this political change that has taken place in Madhya Pradesh after 15 years. The challenge before us is to understand the feelings of change in voters and work accordingly. There should be revolution in the field of agriculture for the economic prosperity of the people in the state, to make the life of the people happy. Until and unless the agriculture sector is not strengthened, the economy cannot be strengthened because 70 percent of the state’s population is directly and indirectly dependent on agriculture. Increase in economic activity is must because only this creates employment opportunities and a basic economy. Shri Kamal Nath said that after good production, how to utilize the produce better is also a challenge for us. Our procurement system is of the time when there was less production. We will also have to change that system so that farmers can sell their produce easily and they can get the right price. The Chief Minister said that our policies should also be simple. A policy that blocks our development is of no use. Referring to creating an environment of trust for investment, he said that we have changed our policies, which brought investment not only from our country but also from abroad in many areas.
The Chief Minister said that after the change, we had another challenge which was that of financial crisis. The previous government announced several such schemes without budget provision. Along with the empty coffers, we have to bear the financial burden of these schemes also. Due to excessive rainfall, farmers and infrastructure have had to suffer losses worth Rs 8 thousand crores. We are working with management even in these adverse circumstances.
The Chief Minister said that the field of news media has also witnessed change. After print media, electronic media and now Google and Internet have brought about a new revolution in the field of communication. In this, the biggest challenge before all the people connected with our media is how to uphold the honour of their profession. He said that if the media goes in the wrong direction, then the country has to suffer.
Initially senior journalist Shri Rasheed Qidwai gave information about the author Shri Brijesh Rajput and his book. The author Shri Brijesh Rajput threw light on the content of his book writing. Journalist Shri Manoj Sharma conducted the programme.
Vice-Chancellor of Makhanlal Chaturvedi University of Journalism, Shri Deepak Tiwari, Information Commissioner of State Information Commission, Shri Rahul Singh and Shri Vijay Manohar Tiwari, former Union Minister Shri Arun Yadav and a large number of journalists, senior officials and representatives of various political parties were present.

aa I want assessment certificate from people for my works: CM Shri Kamal Nath
Bhopal:MMNN: 16 December 2019

Bhopal.Chief Minister Shri Kamal Nath has said that I want a certificate of assessment of my work from the public. ‘I avoid self-praise through publicity, hoarding and branding’. Referring to the glorious day of the creation of a new nation “Bangladesh” defeating Pakistan 48 years ago on December 16, 1971, by the former Prime Minister Smt. Indira Gandhi, Shri Kamal Nath said that it would have been nice if it would have been celebrated as Vijay Diwas in the whole country. The Chief Minister said this during a special talk with a private channel today on the completion of one year of the government. On this occasion, the Chief Minister openly expressed his views on the basic changes made in the state in a year and on national and international issues.
My efforts is to ensure that people have faith in the government
On works done by him maintaining a distance with publicity, Chief Minister Shri Kamal Nath said ‘I believe that the final stamp on our works should be put by the people’. On behalf of the people, it should be said that it has faith in the government and leadership. This certificate is most important to us. If events, campaigns and redundancy promotions are made, but ground reality is different, then it is betrayal of the public.
Our goal is timely implementation of schemes
On the functioning of his government during the last one year in the state, the Chief Minister said that till now ‘I have got only nine and a half months to work’. My first attempt was to change the thinking, attitudes and outlook of the governance and administration. No matter what policy we form, if it is not implemented on time, people do not get the benefits. With this in view, we have created an environment of change and accountability in the behaviour of the system. People should be confident that the schemes of the government will benefit them. We have made concerted efforts in this direction. We have also worked with the view that the investment that is already been made here should be have faith in the government. ‘I believe that till we do not generate confidence in the industries already established in the state, there will be no possibility of new investment. He said ‘I am happy to say that we have succeeded in this field’.
Our intention is not to target anyone but create mafia-free Madhya Pradesh
On the campaign against mafia after adulteration, the Chief Minister said that today our state does not produce as much milk in comparison to the consumption. Obviously, adulterated milk is being distributed to the people of the state. Government will not tolerate anyone messing up with public health. Therefore, we have launched a campaign against those who are involved in adulteration in food and drink including milk production in the state. This campaign will continue. On the campaign launched against the mafia, the Chief Minister said ‘I want to clarify here that we are not targeting anyone through this’. Organized crime mafia and blackmailers will no longer be allowed to flourish in Madhya Pradesh. We will not compromise on the development of the state and interests of the people. He said that today when we talk about investment in the state, we will also have to create an environment for investors in which they can work fearlessly without any pressure. He said that ever since we have launched this campaign, people are fearlessly complaining against the mafia. People are also sending mails to me. This makes it clear that people are tired of the mafia. They did not want to get exposed due to fear. They were not being heard since the last 15 years. The mafia had political patronage. We will continue to make the state mafia-free so that society and the state remain safe.
Religion is a matter of our faith, not politics
On starting the plans for development of Rampath Van Gaman Marg and the pilgrimage sites of the state including the Mahakal temple, Chief Minister Shri Kamal Nath said that all this work is not on political agenda but is being fulfilled as a responsibility of the government to respect the faiths and beliefs of the people. He said that India is a country of different cultures, religions and languages.Due to this characteristic, the whole world looks up to India with respect. We will continue to work in this direction so that this respect remains intact.
It would have been nice if 1971’s glory day was celebrated in the whole country
The Chief Minister said that today we are celebrating Vijay Diwas in the state for winning the war against Pakistan, led by Smt. Indira Gandhi in 1971. With the courage with which our jawans of all the three wings of our defence, defeated Pakistan in this war, could not have a day of greater pride for the Indians after independence. This was the first time in the history of the world after the Second World War, when 93 thousand soldiers of Pakistan surrendered before the Indian Army. Pakistan Army General Niazi had surrendered by taking off his gun and belt in front of the Army Chief General Manekshaw. Formation of a new country was made possible by the efforts of Smt. Indira Gandhi by freeing Bangladeshis from the exploitation of Pakistan. She was given the title of “Iron Lady” by the whole world on this success. This day of 48 years ago was the most glorious day for all Indians. It would been a true tribute to the martyrs who laid down their lives during this 13-day war against Pakistan, if we had celebrated the day as Vijay Diwas all over the country.
Vision document is a document of the future development of the state
On completion of his one-year term, Chief Minister Shri Kamal Nath, while stating the original intention of the vision document, said that we want to build this state according to the future. The basic objective of our vision document is that in the coming times the framework of development is made with new changes in the cities and villages and in the field of agriculture and industry. We want to tell the people of the state what our thinking is about development.
Sense of nationalism should be to unite not divide
Chief Minister Shri Kamal Nath while stating his concept of nationalism said that our country is a country of diversities. True nationalism is when every caste, religion and culture is respected. He said that no such law should be made that sends the message of insecurity to the people of the country. He said that in the interest of the country, it is necessary that we engage in the politics that unites. We are against every decision that spreads disharmony in the country and hurts the spirit of brotherhood.

CORN IS MORE THAN POP CORN
Bhopal:MMNN: 13 December 2019

Bhopal.Everyone likes the taste of corn flakes and popcorn but a few know that it offers even more. A few know that the Corn City Chhindwara has the highest production of maize in Madhya Pradesh. The entreprise of maize growers of Chhindwara will be manifested at the Chhindwara Corn Festival 2019 being held on 15 and 16 December 2019. An opportunity for them to know what is the latest in farm mechanization, maize processing, maize based food products and maize market scenario. In addition, they will also get a chance to interact with maize scientists and other experts.
Today maize has become a commercial crop. To harness the benefits of rising production, it has become necessary to have maize based agri–processing units. Rich in nutrients, maize offers opportunities for setting up maize–based small scale entreprises. Maize production in Chhindwara district alone has increased from 6 lakh 23 thousand MT to 12 lakh MT. The acreage of maize has also increased from 1.24 lakh hectare to 2.95 lakh hectare. The maize production in the State has touched 46 lakh MT.
Director of Indian Maize Research Institute, Ludhiana, Dr. Sanjay Rakshit says that maize production has shown upward trend in Madhya Pradesh but value addition and processing is yet to be done. It is expected that maize processing will start here so that the maize farmers can reap optimum benefits.
A progressive farmer from Haryana Mr. Kamal Chauhan appreciates organizing the Corn Festival saying that such an event gives the farmers new technological interventions, which they can suitably use.
Food processing expert Dr. Ramnath Suryavanshi believes that key players in farm industry should focus attention on the potential of setting up maize–based processing units as its economic market is growing. It is now an employment-generating crop. It can help double the income of farmers.
Dr. S.R. Azad, Director of Madhya Pradesh Vigyan Sabha is involved in imparting training to tribal farmers for making maize toasts and biscuits and providing them market. He says that there is an urgent need to raise awareness among the consumers about the nutritional quality of maize. There is also a need to connect small farmers directly with maize– based food processing units. Chhindwara is an ideal district for this.
Nutri Bakery
The Chief Minister Shri Kamal Nath believes that farmers should get opportunities to join agri–entrepreneurship, so that they are not limited to production only and also emerge as an entrepreneur.
Realising the vision of the Chief Minister, the tribal women in Tamia block of Chhindwara district have succeeded in establishing Nutri Bakery. They are economically self-dependent now. They make maize toasts and biscuits, which are a popular nutritious food items. This is not only helping them address nutritional deficiency but also helping the tribal women earn handsome livelihoods. Their income base has also improved. At least four Nutri Bakery Units are operating in Tamia. The women, who were earning hardly about Rs. 1500 a month are now getting Rs. 4 to 5 thousand a month.
Earlier, these tribal women were either engaged in farming or collecting minor forest produce. They used to migrate to the surrounding districts searching petty farm works during Kharif. Hardly, they could earn around Rs. 1500 a month. They started a bakery for maize, millet, Mahua, Amla based products. The Corn Toasts and biscuits are popular in the region. In the local market, these women market these food items themselves.
Now these tribal women are capable of imparting training to their fellow women. Samoka Bai, a member of the Ragini self-help group of Harsh Diwari village in Tamia underwent seven-day bakery training. She describes how she skilled herself in operating machines used in the bakery and how corn toasts are made. Also she gained knowledge about quality, cost and marketing.
Similarly, Sumaravati Bai is a member of Durga self-help group of Matkadhana village also got the similar training. Her SHG is making toasts using a small furnace and selling it in the local market.
Saroj Bai, a member of the Radhakrishna self-help group of Saldhana (Bagai) village, who is interested in marketing, has now started business with the support of other members.
The success of Nutri Bakery has evoked a good response. Many government departments and voluntary organizations expressed interest in the initiative. National Rural Livelihoods Mission, Tejaswini project of Women and Child Development Department, Forest Department and Chai India (Madhya Pradesh Chapter) have approached for assistance in setting up the Nutri Bakery. Tejaswini has set up two bakeries in Mandla district and two more are being planned.
Why Is Maize A Commercial Crop?

Popular food items such as corn flakes are popular. Maize is consumed as a foodgrain and has industrial use also. A good yield is possible in less water. It is a climate change–resilient crop. Maize is rich in nutrients. It contains 71 percent starch, 9 to 10 percent protein, 4 to 45 percent fat, 9 to 10 percent fiber, 2 to 3 percent sugar and 1.4 percent mineral.

He said that when India became independent, creation of a Constitution was a challenge. This was the biggest challenge because India is a country of diversities. There are diversities of food and attire from North to South. There is diversity in dialects and culture as well as customs and traditions. Formation of a Constitution for such a country was a challenging job. The Chief Minister said that with this Constitution, the Executive, Judiciary and Legislature came into existence and we got basic elements like law of governance.
The Chief Minister said that today the challenge is how we should go with the changes taking place in the world and how we succeed in adopting them. One of the challenges is also that how improvements have to be made in the Executive and Judiciary according to the changes. He said that we have a huge number of entrepreneurs. We have maximum young human resources. Till ten years ago, youth had limited access to knowledge and technology. Today it has increased due to internet. The Chief Minister said that how this change should be adopted by the judiciary, executive and legislature is a challenge.
Speaker of Madhya Pradesh Vidhan Sabha Shri Narmada Prasad Prajapati said that how the judiciary and the legislature should come together to give better system to the people should be seriously considered. Chief Justice of Madhya Pradesh High Court Justice Shri A.K. Mittal said that along with infrastructure for justice, we also have to bring fundamental changes in the judicial system with time. Along with bringing judicial awareness, the judicial system will also have to be improved at the ground level. He said that law students and advocates have to jointly bring about changes in their work functioning and improve judicial system. He said that a policy should be made that students pursuing law should do internship in rural areas for a year. This will enable us to know people’s expectations. He said that law students can make a career through their education but they should have a sense of duty as this education is related to meting out justice to people.
Supreme Court Justice Shri A.M. Khanwilkar said that the initiative of the National Law University alumni who have served in the field of education and health through the CAN Foundation is the greatest human service. He said that the foundation of our justice system is also the section of society which is poor, deprived of resources. They should get justice, this is the goal. Shri Khanvilkar said that education leads to excellent human development. With this point of view, the National Law Institute is preparing an efficient human resource. MP Shri Vivek Tankha also addressed this seminar.
On this occasion, Chief Minister Shri Kamal Nath felicitated those who excelled in various fields and released the CAN Foundation’s magazine “Chandragupta”. The Foundation’s CEO Shri Siddharth R. Gupta informed about the purpose and activities of the Foundation.

They will once again connect to take it forward. He also is keen on getting an international connection from Dubai. Overall an extremely good meeting and CM has assured that he will look into our demands in detail. The team members who met were Dr Yogesh Baluapuri, Shri Tehsin Pasha, Shri Manish Shrivastava, Ms Richa Mate and Ms Prachi Baluapuri.
aa Our major demands were:
1. Increase in the number of airlines from Bhopal specifically go air which has just bought new planes
2.Improved Domestic Connectivity:
We want better domestic connectivity. We are right now looking at these routes from Bhopal.
North- Chandigarh, Lucknow and Amritsar West- Goa, Ahmedabad, Vadodara
South- Chennai, Kochi/Trivandrum
East- Kolkata, Patna, Guwahati, Bhubaneswar
3.International Connectivity:
We are looking for an international connectivity from Bhopal. We have enough traffic to support flights to and from Dubai. Request you to give us a connection at least three days a week. The international status is demanded for our airport. We also require a flight to Singapore to support this.
4. 24 Hours Operation:
Time and again we have been told by various airlines that the red eye slots are available from vari- ous important destinations. We cannot avail the same as our Airport does not operate during the night and there is no night landing facility available. We sincerely request you to please provide the same so that we can avail the red eye slots.
5. Promotion of Bhopal as a Tourist Destination:
It is also imperative to note that Bhopal despite being the centre of India with one of the best geographical locations in the country and the best tourist destinations is not being promoted. We re- quest you to help us promote Bhopal on various pilgrim circuits like Buddhist, Patna- Bhopal- Shri Lanka. The Om circuit which connects various Shiva temples can include Bhojpur temple of Bhopal. A beautiful destination like Khajuraho which is the pride of our nation is thoroughly neglected. A flight from Bhopal to Khajuraho with a proper marketing from the government can help tourisms in both Bhopal and Khajuraho. There are so many such things in and around Bhopal which, with your patronage can develop Bhopal as a tourist and cultural hub.

Hostels and the academic building are in the same compound, and Madhu’s body was found hanging from the staircase railings of the two-storey G3 Hostel. “Senior police officers were immediately sent there. We are awaiting the post-mortem report, which will decide our next course of action. Prima facie, it appears to be a case of suicide,” SP Solanki said.
The family doesn’t agree. The child’s grandfather, Bhupendra Markam, said, “There were 20 other students in the same hostel. How is it that no one came to know about it (the suicide)? The dupatta that was tied to her neck was knotted so meticulously that it is impossible for an 11-year-old to do so. Also, the railings of the staircase are too low for a death by hanging.”
The alleged suicide note, in Hindi, says, “I wanted to become a teacher, I love my parents, uncle and aunts, brothers and sisters. I don’t like this place. I want a transfer certificate from Dhamangaon Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya. Since the time I’ve come here, I feel I’ve come to hell.” Madhu’s father Dhiwari Singh Marawi said, “I strongly suspect she has been murdered. I was not informed about her death by the school administration. It was the father of another student, who told me.” The family alleges foul play and demands a CBI probe.



aa Railway vendors cock a snook at ‘no bill-free food’ rule
Bhopal:MMNN: 23 July 2019

BHOPAL: Mayank Sharma, a telecom company employee, bought some food products at Bhopal station. But he did not get a bill as the vendor did not have a printer. He was told he would get a hand-written bill, but he had to rush as the train stopped only for a few minutes at Bhopal station.
This is not an isolated case. There are several passengers who purchase food products from the stalls at Bhopal railway station but a reality check suggests most of the vendors do not provide bills against the purchase as mandated.
After complaints of irregularities including overcharge and sale of sub-standard food products from stalls on platforms, the Bhopal railway division had implemented the ‘No bill, free food ’ scheme at the state capital stations- Bhopal and Habibganj stations.
The Indian railways' policy for mandatory bill aims to ensure that passengers are not forced to pay more than what they should.
However, passengers alleged there was no meaning of implementing such a scheme when vendors do not have machines to print the bills. “Due to crowd at the stalls, it is not possible for anyone to wait for hand-made bills as trains have halts for a limited time.
“In such situation, a passenger will not wait for the bill. This is where the vendor takes advantage of the system,” said Anuj Yadav, a passenger at Bhopal station.
Contrary to the tall claims by the Indian Railways, illegal food stalls continue to operate at Bhopal railway station. Despite penalty against a dozen illegal vendors, business continues as usual. Passengers have suggested that railways should ensure there are no illegal vendors at the station.
“If a person is carrying food items on the platform, it won’t be possible to recognize them. Most of the time vendors do not wear any uniform. It is ridiculous to expect that I check his authenticity first and then buy food items when the train stops for a couple of minutes only,” said Yogita Sinha, another passenger travelling to Mumbai.
While visiting the station, it was noticed that a few unauthorized vendors from hotels outside the station premises were selling food packets to passengers. Most of the food packets were without any price tag. “Don’t expect that a passenger would stop his journey in Bhopal to complain against such vendors. When they are selling food items without price tag, it is not possible to ask them for bills,” said Vikas Tiwari, another passenger.
The quality of food being served at stations is another major issue which has not been addressed properly. “Vendors are selling poor quality food in front of everyone. It is the railways which has to take action. How can a passenger check the food quality?” said another passenger, Vineet Singh.
“A nexus of hawkers and hotels is operating under which hawkers buy food from hotels and sell it to passengers inside the station,” alleged another passenger. When contacted, senior DCM (Bhopal division), Anurag Pateriya admitted that all vendors at the stations do not have machines to print the bills. “Such issue is with those vendors selling on hand-carts,” said Pateriya.



aa BJP president pulls up Pragya Singh Thakur for her toilet remarks
Bhopal:MMNN: 22 July 2019

BJP working president J.P. Nadda on Monday “pulled up” Bhopal MP Pragya Singh Thakur for her remarks that she was not elected to the Lok Sabha for cleaning up toilets, comments that were seen to be mocking Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Swachh Bharat’ campaign.
She was summoned to the BJP headquarters, where Nadda conveyed to her the party leadership’s displeasure with her comments made at Sehore in Madhya Pradesh on Sunday, party sources said.
Thakur was pulled up and asked to refrain from making statements that go against the party’s programmes and ideology, they said.
The BJP MP declined to speak to reporters as she left the party office.
Addressing a meeting of BJP workers in Madhya Pradesh, Thakur, an accused in the 2008 Malegaon bomb blast case who is currently out on bail, said the job of an MP is to work with MLAs, corporators and public representatives to ensure development.
“So keep this in mind... We are not here for cleaning a drain. Is it clear?. We are absolutely not (here) for cleaning your toilets. The work which we are supposed to do and elected for, we will do it honestly. This we had said in the past, saying it today and stick to it in future as well,” she said.
Thakur had won her maiden election from Bhopal Lok Sabha seat by defeating Congress leader Digvijay Singh.
Her comments were embarrassing for the BJP as Modi has has made the ‘Swachh Bharat’ (Clean India) programme a centrepiece of his government’s agenda.
But this is not the first time she has left the BJP red-faced.
During the Lok Sabha poll campaign, she had hailed Mahatma Gandhi’s killer Nathuram Godse as a “patriot”.
She was forced to apologise after he comments triggered an outrage, and Modi went on to say that he would not be able to forgive her despite the apology. She was issued a showcause notice as well.
Thakur had also claimed that Maharashtra ATS chief Hemant Karkare was killed in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks due to her “curse” as she was “tortured” by police in custody. Even then she was forced to tender an apology.

aa MP police bust adulterated milk production racket; 57 arrested
Bhopal:MMNN: 20 July 2019

BHOPAL: In a major crackdown, the Madhya Pradesh special task force (STF) has busted three factories in two Chambal districts region that was supplying highly toxic synthetic milk to branded packed milk units in five states in connivance with quality control officers and agents.
Sources in the STF say that food inspectors were hand in gloves with the gang.
As many as 57 people have been arrested from Morena, Bhind districts and 20 tankers, 11 pickup vans and 2275 kg maltodextrin were retrieved. Bhopal and Delhi are among main supply region.
STF SP Rajesh Bhadoria said, "The cost of producing one litre of synthetic milk was Rs 5 and the same was sold for Rs 45 or Rs 50 in cities like Bhopal and Delhi. They were producing 2 lakh litres of this milk every day and supplying it in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and other states. The manufacturing units were found to be spread across several acres of land with hundreds of employees working in 24x7 shifts. Those supplying raw materials to these factories have also been booked."
"We would be pressing charges and each and every individual involved in this scam,” ADG Ashok Awasthi said.
Not just milk, STF has found huge quantity of the adulterated stuff in paneer samples. Collectors in various districts have been alerted with advisories to collect samples of milk from their respective areas to check adulteration. Seized liquid is said to be a 'cocktail of milk, white paint and detergent.'
Chemical compounds like detergent and urea were being mixed with milk which sold to known packaging units from where it reached households.
Experts say it spikes blood sugar level and suppresses the growth of probiotics. The high glycemic index, maltodextrin can prove dangerous for people with diabetes symptoms. Similarly, detergent in milk can cause food poisoning and other gastrointestinal complications.
The high alkaline level can also damage the body tissues. Other synthetic components mainly detergent, foreign fat, starch, sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), sugar, urea, salt, sodium carbonate, formalin and ammonium sulphate which the gang was using to produce synthetic milk, can cause impairments and heart problems. The long-term effects are far more serious, it can cause cancer or even death.

aa The BJP leader's car showroom here, tax evasion of crores
Bhopal:MMNN: 18 July 2019

Jabalpur . In Jabalpur, the Economic Offenses Wing has raided the car showroom of BJP leader Pratik Jain today. The OW has received complaints of crores tax evasion. After which the team arrived on the car showroom of the BJP leader and carried out the operation today. This action has been done on the car showroom running on the Katni Road near the dark blind by Sagar Infotech Pvt. Ltd.
Explain that EOW complained that there is a large tax evasion in the back of registration and registration of trains. Based on this information, the EOW team reached this showroom with officers of GST's Vigilance Wing and examined all the documents this morning. In this showroom, Skoda sold the company's luxury luxury cars as a lower variant. On this basis, on the basis of the registration of RTO, low tax was given. This has resulted in loss of revenue of crores of rupees to the transport department.
This is the whole case
An Inspector posted in Bhopal EOW had received intelligence that Sagar AutoTech Private Limited was giving information to different buyers and RTOs for the trains being sold. By doing so, he was limiting the revenue of crores of rupees to the transport department. Based on this information, EOW today carried out the raids.
Actually the car dealer used to pay the vehicle to the buyer. The actual price of the car was told. But when the dealer gave information about the sale of the car to the transport department, its price was actually lower. For this, he makes a different record of the car. He sold a person of Shahdol for the Skoda Kodiak car for Rs 36 lakhs. But when he sent the vehicle's invoice to the Transport Department, it cost the car at 27 lakhs. In this way, he told the transport department about 9 lakh rupees less of the car and stealing 9 percent of the tax paid to the Transport Department in the name of selling the car. On the name of this car alone, the dealer dumped the department to 84 thousand rupees. The dealer was playing like this for a long time. In such a way, he would have taxed the tax department for crores of rupees.

People of State- Ambassadors of Economic Revolution -Shivraj Singh Chouhan
Bhopal:MMNN: Dec. 30, 2016

India witnessed a historic decision on November 8, 2016. This day has given a meaningful reply to the queries raised by the people at large on the style of functioning of governments. Often allegations are levelled against the governments that they can not take tough decisions under pressure. They fear to take decisions that could harm powerful people. Our Prime Minister has broken the myth with his courageous decision to demonetize Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 currency notes from November 8, 2016 .
The decision of demonetization is historic in a way that it surprised everyone and this is the distinct feature of it. India had seen decision of demonetization twice in the history of 100 years but these decisions gave ample time to the people having black money in the form of currency to change it. Thus the main objective of the decision was partially met. This time, however the decision could not give any chance to people with black money plan.
Those criticising the decision say that the decision could be taken with better planning and people could be given ample time. It is beyond my comprehension as to whom these critics are refering to when they talk of giving time to people. Do they talk of the poor people whose monthly income is Rs. Five or Ten thousand and do not have currency notes of more than Rs. 5 or Rs. 10 at a time. Certainly, they do not talk of such people because such people having Rs. 5 or Rs. 10 notes got them changed timely and were relaxed. Then who are those about whom critics say time should have been given to them. It is obvious that a section of critics is favouring those who had black money in the form of currency.
The decision of the Prime Minister for encouraging cashless transaction is a decision to transform the country from a developing nation to a developed nation. The critics should examine all the aspects before criticising such a decision. The Congress and other political parties say that the demonetization has wrought havoc on farmers and they could not sow in time. In Madhya Pradesh, this year already sowing has been done on 105 lakh hectare so far as compared to a total of 108 lakh hectare last year. The sowing will further go up to 115 lakh hectare. It is clear that sowing has not been affected.
The so-called critics of demonetization say that cashless transaction is not possible in our country. The fact is that after demonetization, 95 percent transactions is cashless transaction being done by farmers, who are in their opinion illiterate. This is a lesson for them that a section about which there were little expectations is doing 95 percent cashless transactions.
This is true that all developed nations are heading towards maximum cashless transactions. If we want our economy to take off, we have to follow certain practices that have led the developed economies to a success. All of us accept that cashless transaction could improve the economy. Not a single economist in last one and half months has given logic that cashless transaction is not good for the economy.
If we feel that something is good then we should come forward to make it successful instead of obstructing its success by criticizing it. Those who opine that cashless transaction is not possible in this country, are challenging the wisdom and capacities of the 120 crore people of the country without testing it. This is injustice to the people. The last two months have witnessed an impressive 77 percent increase through internet banking in the Central Bank of India in Madhya Pradesh alone. The sale through POS machines has gone up by 54 percent. Does this not indicate to positive results? The people of our country are more aware and capable than certain critics make them out to be.
Another benefit of cashless transaction is also very clearly perceptible. In December the VAT revenue has increased 14% whereas there was a fall in revenue from other taxes. This makes it amply clear that the tax evasion that took place in cash transaction has reduced in cashless transaction. This will improve tax collection and the state governments will be able to spend more on welfare schemes.
Imparting training to the masses in cashless transaction is need of the hour. We are making elaborate arrangements for this in Madhya Pradesh. In the days to come training programmes will be organized upto panchayat level to educate and train the people in the use of various modes of cashless transaction. The endevour will be to ensure total financial inclusion by opening bank accounts of those poor families which have been left out under Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana. About seven lakh new bank accounts have been opened and about five lakh new RuPay cards issued since November 10 last in the state.
Madhya Pradesh government has exempted POS machines from VAT and the stamp duty payable on agreement with banks to help small and medium traders to install these machines. The state government has taken measures to ensure entire cashless government transaction. The different departments have evolved systems for online tax and duty payment. The state government is making the different payments online to the citizens. The state government is committed to promoting cashless economy.
I have always believed that the people are wise enough to know what is in their interest. They are fully aware that the Prime Minister's step of demonetization is a masterstroke against those indulging in amassing black money, antinational activities and circulating counterfeit currency in the market. The people very well understand that this is step in the interest of the country and are extending wholehearted support to promoting cashless economy. This will definitely help India catch up with the most developed nations.

Patwaji was a Great and Spirited Leader -Shivraj Singh Chouhan
Bhopal:MMNN: Dec. 28, 2016

I first met Patwaji during by-elections of 1974. I was deeply impressed by his brilliance, dynamism and eloquence. He was an exceptionally skilled organizer and vibrant leader. His amazing orational skill was widely recognized. In Vidhansabha there used to be pindrop silence during his speech.
I came closer to Patwaji in 1985 when he contested from Bhojpur constituency. We worked against time and had the privilenge to see him work closely. He had tremendous courage and dynamism. When he was State BJP president he appointed me State Yuva Morcha President. He always inspired and motivated all to live up to their potentials. He always bubbled with enthusiasm of a youth. It was only due to hard work of party workers and popularity of Patwaji that BJP came to power in 1990. His Padyatra from Bastar to Jhabua immensely increased his popularity. During the Yatra he was quite jolly and sang songs and poems. He never knew fatigue.
Patwaji lived a pure and wholesome life. Even at the age of 92 he was averse to being called a Vridha or aged. He had a very rare quality of encouraging the younger generation. After becoming the Chief Minister I received his valuable guidance from time to time. I always met him to seek his guidance in any adverse situation.
Patwaji had a deep impact on my personal life as well. I had decided to remain a bachelor, but he inspired me to be a householder and devote my life to service of society and nation.
During my tenure as Yuva Morcha president the Ram Janmbhumi movement had started at Ayodhya. Large number of Rambhaktas sacrificed their lives. After this, former Prime Minister Shri V.P. Singh visited Bhopal. We decided to oppose him. Patwaji was the Chief Minister. The administration had made fool proof security arrangements, but the Yuva Morcha succeeded in disrupting his visit. We showed black flags and held agitations.We were can-charged. In return, we pelted stones. Shri V.P. Singh staged a sit-in outside CM residence. I apprehended that Patwaji would be very angry. But to our pleasant surprise Patwaji came out and told the media that when a large number of Rambhaktas had lost their lives, a small agitation and little stone pelting would not bring down the skies.
Patwaji was a truly even-minded person. He had equilibrium of mind. When his government was dissolved in 1992 following Ram Mandir movement, he remained calm and composed. He boarded a State Transport bus in the evening and left for Indore.
Patwaji was always ready to fight out for the cause of public. He led many agitations and protests. He observed a long fast unto death protesting against the killing of farmers in Multai by Digvijay government. He led protests against corruption and atrocities of the administration against farmers even at the risk of his life. He led an eight-day-long fast unto death at Peer Gate Bhopal.
Patwaji was a messiha of farmers. He waived off Rs. Rs. 714 crore loans of farmers for the first time in the country.
Patwaji was a strict administrator. He never gave in to any goonda element and terror. He ruthlessly eliminated the mafia in Bombay bazar of Indore and also ruined the mafias in Bhopal.
Patwaji's political courage is simply beyond comparison. He made a history by defeating Shri Kamalnath in his own constituency Chhindwara. Regarding elections, he used to say that it is like a trumpet made of carrot. If it does not work, it can be eaten. There is nothing to worry about. Generally, during polling day a candidate keeps moving a round but Patwaji in Chhindwara was relaxing.
Patwaji campaigned for the Jansangh in such a difficult time when it was unknown in villages. He used to make announcement about public meeting of Sunderlal Patwa inviting people to attend it and in the evening himself addressed it.
Patwaji was matchless in eloquence. In the Assembly, he used to attack his opponents by his sheer wit and satire. His logics used to leave the opponents like Arjun Singh, Voraji and Digvijay Singh speechless. His sarcastic remarks used to work like a sharp weapon.
For the generations to come, Patwaji's life would remain a source of inspiration. They can learn how to live a meaningful life for the nation and the society. I salute to the departed noble soul.

These trees used to provide water to Narmada River but we have reduced the water level and have stopped the water flow of the rivers. If Narmada flow stops, Madhya Pradesh will not be secured.

Now society has taken control over the yatra which was begun by the state government.
