While addressing the press conference on Sunday, Chief Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan said, “The purpose of this brainstorming is to work at a faster pace for the development of the state.

Together with the Council of Ministers, I have deliberated on various issues of public benefit and the development of the state, including the processes to ensure effective implementation.”
Speaking elaborately about the various significant decisions taken after reviewing various schemes, CM Chouhan said, “The CM Teerth Darshan Yojna was designed and launched first by us in Madhya Pradesh, which was so successful that even other states also adopted it. Now we have decided to relaunch this scheme from 18 April this year. The train will go to Kashi Vishwanath where the pilgrims can visit Kashi Vishwanath, the birth place of Sant Ravidas. The members of the Council of Ministers will also participate in this journey. We are working out the details of providing air travel to the elderly, as well.”

We have also decided to increase the benefit amount under this scheme to ₹ 55,000 from ₹ 51,000. The date of a girl’s marriage will be fixed in advance, and will be publicised widely. “
CM Chouhan also spoke about one of the most popular schemes of his tenure – the Ladli Laxmi Yojana. He said that “Today there are 43 lakh ladli laxmis in the state.

The benefit of this scheme will be accentuated by the CM Annapurna Yojana, operated by MP Government, whose period will also be extended until September 2022.
