Madhya Pradesh is prioritizing water resources. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav highlights river linking projects like Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal. Guna district will greatly benefit from these initiatives.
BHOPAL: Chief minister Mohan Yadav has said that Madhya Pradesh is the maternal home of rivers. We do not have glaciers here, but we do have dense forests and water resources.
To ensure that no village and no field in the state is deprived of water, our government has started work on three major river linking projects in the state.
Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal river Link Project is one of them.
Guna district will receive great benefit from both PKC and Kumbhraj Major Irrigation Project as water will reach every village and every field here, said the chief minister while addressing a thanksgiving public meeting organised at Binganj in Guna district.
On this occasion, Yadav expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the approval of the Kumbhraj Major Irrigation Project costing about Rs 5138 crore.
With this project, more than 97500 hectares of agricultural land in Guna district has now received facility of year-round irrigation.
