Become active partner in state’s progress and development

Bhopal: On the occasion of 64th Republic Day, Governor Shri Ram Naresh Yadav unfurled the National Flag and took salute at Lal Parade Ground here today. He exhorted state’s people to become active partner in the development and progress of Madhya Pradesh and country and give their best contribution in lifting people’s living standard. Shri Yadav said that our Constitution gives us fundamental rights. At the same time, it also underlines our duties towards the nation. It is the need of the hour that we commit ourselves to discharging our duties towards the nation. The Governor said that small efforts can lead to major changes. We have to keep attached to our roots. Underscoring government’s result-oriented and meaningful efforts, he said that we should not forget all known and unknown martyrs due to whose sacrifices we are breathing in open air of independence.
The Governor said that democracy becomes meaningful only when people are made partner in government’s decisions, programmes and schemes. For concretising this concept, 25 panchayats have been held in the state for direct dialogue with various sections of society to hold discussions on their problems where important decisions have been taken keeping their suggestions in view. This year, panchayats of students, street vendors, fishermen, senior citizens, lawyers as well as recent panchayat of youths have been held. He said that results of constant development of social and physical infrastructure carried out during last some years have started to come. Several independent reviewers have placed Madhya Pradesh among fast-developing states. During 11th Five-Year Plan, Madhya Pradesh’s average growth rate was 10.2 percent while national average was 7.9 percent. During last fiscal, the state’s agriculture growth rate was 18.91 percent, which was the highest in the country. Adjudging Madhya Pradesh as best in food grains production in the country, the President conferred Krishi Karman Award of the Union Government to Madhya Pradesh recently. Credit of this award goes to policy-related decisions of the State Government as well as farmer’s hard work.
The Governor said that our schemes and programmes have infused a new life in agriculture. Farmers are now getting cooperative agriculture loans at zero percent interest. About 35 lakh 12 thousand farmers are expected to get short-term agriculture loans. Kisan Cards have been distributed to 35 lakh farmers in the state. Madhya Pradesh is the first state in the country where seed producing cooperative societies have been constituted to increase availability of seeds.
