The most important requirement of farmers for improved farming is better irrigation. Keeping this need in mind, Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chauhan has said that “we will make effective efforts to provide water to every inch of the land of farmers in the state”.

The Chief Minister said during this time that “special work has been done to increase irrigation potentials in Madhya Pradesh. In the last years, we have increased the irrigation potential in the state from 7.5 lakh hectare to 42 lakh hectare, in which NABARD has a significant contribution.” He said that in the coming time irrigation arrangements will be made for every inch of the land of farmers.

Actually, the Chief Minister said these things through video conferencing in the program organized on the 39th foundation day of NABARD. Members of Women self-help groups of several districts of Madhya Pradesh and representatives of Farmers Producer Association and many farmers were involved in this program.

The Chief Minister said during this time that “it is a matter of great pleasure that lift irrigation of Rs 1425 crore has been approved by NABARD for Madhya Pradesh today. Along with this, a loan of 4 thousand crores has been sanctioned for other projects. I express my heartfelt gratitude to the entire team of NABARD.
