Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to embark on a visit to Madhya Pradesh on Sunday to inaugurate and lay the foundation stones for multiple development projects worth approximately Rs 7,300 crore in the tribal-dominated Jhabua district, as per officials.
The prime minister will dedicate and initiate various initiatives aimed at benefiting the tribal population of the region, according to an official statement. Among these, he will distribute the monthly installment of the Aahar Anudan Yojana to around two lakh women beneficiaries. This scheme entails providing Rs 1,500 per month for nutritious food to women from various specially-backward tribes in Madhya Pradesh.
Furthermore, PM Modi will distribute 1.75 lakh ‘adhikar abhilekh’ (record of rights) to beneficiaries of the SVAMITVA Scheme. This scheme aims to furnish documentary evidence to individuals regarding their land ownership rights.
Additionally, the prime minister will lay the foundation stone for Tantya Mama Bhil University, a dedicated institution that will serve the youth from districts with a high concentration of tribal communities in the region. With an estimated cost of Rs 170 crore, the university will offer world-class infrastructure for the holistic development of its students.
Moreover, PM Modi will allocate funds amounting to Rs 55.9 crore for 559 villages under the Pradhan Mantri Adarsh Gram Yojana. These funds will be utilized for various construction activities, including the construction of Anganwadi Bhawans, fair price shops, health centres, additional rooms in schools, and internal roads, among other essential amenities.
