Work is progressing rapidly on the Parvati–Kalisindh–Chambal National River Linking Project, which will transform the future of both states.

The project, estimated at nearly Rs 1 lakh crore, will be funded 90% by the Government of India, while both states will contribute 5% each. Dr. Yadav remarked that the relationship between the two states has traditionally been one of “roti-bati” (deep cultural bonding) and is now also strengthened through water cooperation.

The Chief Minister was addressing investors from Rajasthan during the Interactive Session on Investment Opportunities in Madhya Pradesh held in Jaipur on Saturday. He  extended greetings to the people of Rajasthan on the state’s foundation day (19 March) and the festival of Gangaur.

Dr. Mohan Yadav said that under the leadership of Shri Narendra Modi, India is witnessing unprecedented progress and states are resolving resource-sharing issues amicably. He praised the entrepreneurial skills of Rajasthan’s business community, noting that they have earned global recognition for their business acumen. He added that the Madhya Pradesh government is simplifying rules and regulations in the industrial sector to encourage investment.

The Chief Minister said the state government has introduced 26 new sector-specific policies to attract industrial investment. Policies for space and artificial intelligence sectors are also being prepared.

Madhya Pradesh is among India’s power-surplus states and is emerging as a Green, Clean and Solar Energy Capital. Electricity generated in the state is now powering the metro system in Delhi. Domestic electricity is available in the state at approximately Rs 2.90 per unit.

He said rapid progress is also being made in mining and industrial development, while the number of medical colleges is increasing to promote medical tourism. Land is being provided at Rs 1 lease under the PPP model for setting up medical colleges and hospitals.

Madhya Pradesh is also advancing in milk production. The government is encouraging the establishment of large gaushalas (cow shelters) with capacities ranging from 5,000 to 50,000 cattle. The per-cow subsidy has been increased from Rs20 to Rs 40.

Efforts are also underway to improve cattle breeds and veterinary services. The government has launched a scheme to provide free milk packets to school children.

To encourage industrial investment, the government has allocated Rs 6,104 crore for industry promotion and Rs 1 lakh crore for infrastructure development. The Invest MP 3.0 single-window system is among the country’s leading digital investment platforms.
