Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Madhya Pradesh on September 17, during which he will inaugurate the “Healthy Women, Empowered Family” campaign, launch the Service Fortnight (Seva Pakhwada), and lay the foundation stone of the country’s first PM Mitra Park at Bhaisila village in Badanawar Tehsil of Dhar district.
Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said that this visit is a big gift for farmers and tribal communities in the Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh.
The Chief Minister held a meeting to review preparations for the Prime Minister’s visit and related events. He asked officials to ensure all arrangements are ready, including coordination between different departments and proper layout of the event site.
In addition to the PM Mitra Park foundation, several programs and campaigns will be launched. These include:
The Healthy Women, Empowered Family campaign
Launch of the Suman Sakhi Chatbot
Promotion of self-help groups’ local products
UPI-based payment system introduction
Skill development card distribution (1 crore cards) for women beneficiaries
Distribution of sewing machines to women under government schemes
Dr. Yadav urged all officials to help women participants reach the event location without any difficulty. He also instructed preparations in other districts like Indore and Ujjain.
Officials shared detailed information about the event preparations. So far, 11 departments have started their work. The event area layout and media management have already been planned. The collector provided a presentation updating the current status of preparations.
This event is expected to be a key step towards the development of the state and the economy.
Dhar, Jhabua, Ujjain, Khargone, and Barwani are the largest cotton-producing areas in the state.
