Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that ensuring uninterrupted and affordable electricity for farmers is a top priority of the state government. He stated that the government is ready to provide all necessary support to achieve this goal. Affordable power will enable farmers to increase production and contribute more effectively to the state\u2019s development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav emphasised that farmers should be encouraged to become energy producers themselves to meet their energy needs. He called for connecting farmers with green energy production, noting that making them self-reliant in energy will significantly improve their standard of living. He also directed that farmers be actively encouraged to adopt solar pumps, with full support and guidance provided to those willing to participate. The Chief Minister was reviewing the progress of ongoing schemes of the New and Renewable Energy Department at the Secretariat on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav instructed officials to work with dedication and focus to provide affordable electricity to both farmers and citizens. He emphasised accelerating solar pump adoption and the progress of the Prime Minister Surya Ghar Yojana. He set a target to connect over 2 lakh farmers with solar pumps by the end of the current financial year. He also directed the department to review and enhance annual targets in line with emerging needs to maximise benefits within a shorter timeframe. He stressed time-bound implementation of schemes to ensure faster and better outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Orientation Programme for Urban Bodies<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that urban local bodies can generate substantial revenue by selling waste and accelerating progress under the Prime Minister Surya Ghar (Rooftop) Scheme. He directed that a one-day orientation programme be organised in Bhopal for elected representatives and officials of urban bodies to train them in these initiatives, ensuring they get sufficient time for implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Safeguarding the State\u2019s Energy Interests<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reviewing the progress of the proposed 2,000 MW (2 GW) Ultra Mega Renewable Energy Power Park in Morena, being developed in collaboration with the Uttar Pradesh government, the Chief Minister directed that the state\u2019s energy interests be given due priority. Officials informed that coordination is underway with Uttar Pradesh authorities regarding green energy supply arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additional Chief Secretary Shri Manu Srivastava informed that targets for green energy production are being further refined. Under the Surya Mitra Krishi Feeder Scheme (KUSUM-B), around 27,100 solar pumps have already been installed, with a target of 4 lakh pumps in the next two years. About 1 lakh applications have been received in the first phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under KUSUM-C, the department aims to connect nearly 10 lakh farmers to solar energy through 493 substations, enabling daytime power supply. So far, 2.5 lakh pumps have been installed. The department\u2019s objective is to make farmers self-reliant in energy while also strengthening their financial position. A monthly implementation plan has also been prepared, with special focus on the rooftop solar scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The meeting was attended by New and Renewable Energy Minister Shri Rakesh Shukla, Chief Secretary Shri Anurag Jain, Additional Chief Secretary Shri Neeraj Mandloi, Finance Secretary Shri Lokesh Jatav, Managing Director of MP Urja Vikas Nigam Shri Amanveer Singh Bais, and other senior officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
