Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Madhya Pradesh on Sunday to dedicate to the nation multiple development projects worth about 7500 crores at Jhabua.
The vision of Antyodaya has been a guiding light for the initiatives taken by the PM. One of the key focus areas has been ensuring that benefits of development reach out to the tribal community, major sections of which were not able to gain these benefits even several decades after independence.
In line with this, he will lay the foundation stone of multiple initiatives that will benefit the significant tribal population of the region.
The PM will disburse monthly instalments of Aahar Anudan under Aahar Anudan Yojna to about two lakh women beneficiaries. Under this scheme, Rs 1500 per month is provided for nutritious food to women of various specially backward tribes of Madhya Pradesh.
The PM will distribute 1.75 lakh adhikar abhilekh (record of rights) to beneficiaries of SVAMITVA Scheme. This will provide documentary evidence to people for the right to their land.
He will lay the foundation stone of Tantya Mama Bhil University – a dedicated University which will cater to the youth from districts with high tribal concentration in the region. To be developed at a cost of Rs 170 crore, the University will provide world class infrastructure for holistic development of students.
The PM will also transfer Rs 55.9 crore for 559 villages under Pradhan Mantri Adarsh Gram Yojana. This amount will be utilised for various kinds of construction activities including Anganwadi Bhawans, Fair Price Shops, Health Centres, additional rooms in schools, internal roads, among others.
He will lay the foundation stone of ‘CM Rise School’ in Jhabua. The school will integrate technology to provide modern facilities like smart classes and e Library among others to students.
He will also dedicate to the nation and lay the foundation stone of multiple projects that will strengthen the water supply and provisioning of drinking water in Madhya Pradesh.
