Lakhs of farmers in Madhya Pradesh are taking advantage of this scheme. Similarly, Madhya Pradesh government also gives Rs 6000 per month to the farmers. This makes it easier for farmers to lead their lives.

Special emphasis is being laid on agricultural income diversification and organic farming by promoting milk production, fisheries, horticulture and third crop. Madhya Pradesh is the only state in the country where electricity connections are being provided to farmers at Rs 5.
To make cow shelters self-reliant, tractor-trolleys and straw machines are being provided. Due to the farmer-centric policies of the government, milk collection in the state is also increasing rapidly. All these efforts have an important contribution in the state's agricultural growth rate reaching 16%.
Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav believes that without increasing the income of farmers, all-round development of the state is not possible. The central and state governments stand with the farmers in all their joys and sorrows through direct benefits, fair prices, modern irrigation, diversification and disaster relief.
These achievements are not only empowering the farmers but also taking Madhya Pradesh to new heights as an agricultural state. This vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav will not only establish Madhya Pradesh as an agriculture-oriented state, but will also contribute to the development of the country by making farmers self-reliant.
