Under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi and Mukhyamantri Kisan Kalyan Yojana, farmers are given an amount of Rs 12000 per year. Our government is procuring wheat at the rate of Rs 2600 per quintal from this year. With the aim of increasing the income of farmers, the government is also promoting animal husbandry. The government has also decided to give subsidy to those who rear 10 cows and Rs 5 per liter subsidy to milk producers. Our aim is to make the state number one in milk production.

For this, such additional seats will be increased by the year 2029. Women are being given 50% reservation in local body elections and 35% reservation in jobs in the state. Schemes like Chief Minister Ladli Behna have proved to be very useful for women.

Kings, Maharajas, emperors are all under the rule of religion based society. Our culture is known by the name of Lord Shri Ram and Shri Krishna. Lord Ram spent 11 years in Chitrakoot Dham of our state. We will develop Chitrakoot Dham like Ayodhya. Similarly, we will develop various places in the state where Lord Krishna’s Leelas have taken place as pilgrimage sites. While making all the arrangements for Simhastha-2028, we will ensure that saints and devotees do not face any kind of trouble.
