Modi to lay foundation stone of first PM MITRA Park in Dhar
Bhopal: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Madhya Pradesh on Aug 25 to perform 'Bhoomi Pujan' of the country's first PM MITRA Park at Badnawar in Dhar district. Announcing this, chief minister Mohan Yadav said that while other states are still in the initial preparatory stage for their PM MITRA Parks, Madhya Pradesh will be holding the groundbreaking ceremony for the park at Dhar on August 25. Yadav said this has been made possible through continuous coordination with the central government. The chief minister emphasised that once completed, the PM MITRA Park will give a major boost to the development of the entire Malwa region. The Dhar district area is poised to become the second large industrial hub after Pithampur. The park will benefit cotton producing farmers in the region and generate around 300,000 direct and indirect permanent jobs. Badnawar will also become part of the Indore Metropolitan City Area, gaining access to metropolitan facilities. Investors and companies setting up industries here will be provided with four-lane roads, rail connectivity, and air links. Yadav reviewed preparations via video conferencing for the Prime Minister's visit, the 'Bhoomi Pujan' ceremony and the public meeting with the Indore Commissioner and Dhar Collector on Sunday night. He instructed that special arrangements be made, ensuring the participation of local farmers and smooth transport for attendees from different districts. At the venue, a waterproof dome will be set up, featuring a stage for VVIPs, adequate seating arrangements, drinking water facilities, and well-organised logistics. He emphasised convenient access routes, including alternate roads and necessary repairs. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Entrepreneurs from various districts of the state who are benefiting from government initiatives have gathered here today. Currently, there are over 96 lakh MSME units operating in the state.' Sachan attributed the state's rise in entrepreneurship to improved infrastructure and said, 'Improved roads and better connectivity have contributed to the rise of entrepreneurship in Uttar Pradesh. Through the MSME sector, lakhs of people are being provided employment. Around 4 lakh individuals have received toolkits, which has helped promote small industries.' Sachan highlighted efforts to boost MSME growth, including making land banks available at affordable prices and offering financial assistance of up to Rs 14 crore.

We are working towards connecting every individual with employment, and under the capable leadership of the Chief Minister, this mission is being carried out across the entire state.
