Union Minister Shri Shivraj Singh directed officials to prioritise and resolve pending cases related to Madhya Pradesh so that the state’s farmers, labourers, and rural poor can receive relief at the earliest.

Special priority to Madhya Pradesh in Farmers’ Welfare Year

Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan stated that under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, the year 2026 is being observed as the Farmers’ Welfare Year in Madhya Pradesh, and in this context, the Central Government is giving special priority to agriculture-dominant states like Madhya Pradesh.

During the Farmers’ Welfare Year, it will be ensured that farmers growing mustard, tur, moong, urad, and oilseeds receive every possible assistance, and the state remains at the forefront on every parameter of rural development.
