Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that under the Mukhyamantri Registry Yojana (Swamitva Registration), the State Government is providing legal ownership to rural residents by ensuring the formal registration of houses and plots held by rural land allottees. Women in the State are also being empowered to become self-reliant. Women from Dhendia Gram Panchayat have become financially independent and are earning between ₹12,000 and ₹15,000 per month through stitching work at a nearby garment industry. The Government aims to make rural women and Gram Panchayats self-reliant. Dhendia Gram Panchayat has undertaken a unique initiative by developing a marriage garden spread over approximately five bighas, equipped with all essential facilities. This will increase the Gram Panchayat's income while providing the general public with access to an affordable marriage garden.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav expressed these views on Sunday while inaugurating the newly constructed Gram Panchayat Building-cum-Marriage Garden at Dhendia village in Ujjain district, built at a cost of ₹2.20 crore, on the occasion of Diwali.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav also facilitated the online registration of rural properties in Ujjain district under the Mukhyamantri Registry Yojana (Swamitva Registration). So far, registration of houses and plots belonging to 74,791 eligible beneficiaries has been completed in the district. In terms of the number of registrations, Ujjain ranks second in the State under the scheme.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that earlier, property registration was largely limited to urban areas, while houses in villages had little recognised market value. The State Government has now allocated a budget of ₹10,000 crore to implement a scheme providing free registration to rural land allottees and homeowners. As a result, houses and plots in villages will also acquire recognised property value.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that under the Mukhyamantri Registry Yojana, free registration will be provided for the properties of 50 to 70 lakh eligible rural land allottees across the State. He said that Dhendia village is located close to Ujjain city. Residents can construct eight additional rooms in their homes and operate homestays. The Government is providing financial assistance of up to ₹2 lakh for setting up such homestays, while electricity consumption for these facilities is being charged at domestic rates. He said that the State Government is making every effort to promote self-reliance among people. Loans are being provided for rearing cows, buffaloes, goats and other livestock, as well as for fisheries. Dairy cooperative societies are also being established in villages across the State by Sanchi.
Inauguration of Well-Equipped Gram Panchayat Building and Marriage Garden
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav inaugurated the fully equipped Gram Panchayat building constructed at Dhendia at a cost of ₹37 lakh. The building has dedicated rooms for the Sarpanch, Secretary and Patwari, along with a well-equipped meeting hall.
For the first time in the State, a magnificent marriage garden spread over five bighas has been developed by a Gram Panchayat at a cost of ₹1.80 crore. Owned by Dhendia Gram Panchayat, it is the first such facility in the State. The marriage garden features 26 well-equipped rooms, a spacious dome covering 12,880 square feet and a large kitchen shed spread over 3,600 square feet. Attractive green lawns, a small swimming pool and a grand stage have also been developed to enhance the beauty of the premises.
