Cabinet has approved financial sanctions totalling Rs 21,485 crore. The meeting, chaired by Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav at the Mantralaya on Tuesday, introduced a structural fiscal waiver for rural property owners and allocated a major funding pipeline to scale up medical education and hospital infrastructure across the State. According to official information, these decisions are intended to expand basic infrastructure and update governance frameworks across multiple departments. Zero registry fee for rural homeowners under Swamitva Yojana: The Cabinet approved the implementation of the ‘Swamitva Adhikar Abhilekh Nishpadan evam Panjiyan Yojana-2026’. With this decision, Madhya Pradesh becomes the first state to formalise land titles for the rural population with a complete waiver of Government levies on the execution and registration of these records. Under this scheme, the formal registration of property documents and the execution of the Deed of Conveyance will allow beneficiaries to utilise their land titles as collateral to secure institutional credit for housing loans, business ventures, and agricultural operations. The State Government will entirely absorb the financial liability of Rs 3,800 crore resulting from this waiver, ensuring that rural property owners are exempted from paying stamp duty or registration fees. Out of the 68.11 lakh property title deeds generated so far through drone-based land surveys, 48.32 lakh constitute private properties.

 

To oversee the execution of the project, a high-level committee headed by the Commissioner of Land Resources and Settlement has been constituted. The panel includes the Inspector General of Registration, Commissioner of Accounts and Treasuries, Commissioner of Panchayat and Rural Development, and the Managing Director of MPSEDC. An initial corpus of Rs 10 crore has been sanctioned for public awareness and printing activities, and the Revenue Department has been authorised to issue detailed circulars and operational clarifications. Massive Rs 17,059 crore allocation for healthcare and medical education: To address infrastructural requirements and expand medical manpower, the Cabinet authorised a total budgetary allocation of approximately Rs 17,059 crore for the Public Health and Medical Education Department. A major component of this funding, amounting to Rs 14,363.95 crore, was cleared to ensure the continuous operation of associated medical college hospitals from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2031. This sustained funding is intended to ensure that quality healthcare facilities remain available free of cost across the 12 district headquarters where these state-run medical institutions are active. The remaining medical budget targets specific expansions in capacity and infrastructure. The Cabinet approved Rs 1,200 crore to construct new medical college buildings in Ujjain, Seoni, Chhatarpur, Damoh and Budni. To strengthen post-graduate courses, Rs 657 crore was sanctioned for additional infrastructure and modern machinery in compliance with National Medical Commission norms, which aims to increase clinical manpower from district hospitals down to remote rural outposts.

 

Furthermore, Rs 838 crore was approved for expanding MBBS seat capacities, providing necessary educational equipment and infrastructure required to secure statutory approvals from the National Medical Council. Readymade uniforms for classes 1 to 8 and Indore Court Budget Revision: Cabinet decided to supply pre-stitched uniforms to students of Classes 1 to 8 in Government schools starting from the academic session 2026-27. The procurement will happen through a competitive bidding process managed by the MP Textbook Corporation, which has been officially authorised for the task. The target is to deliver two pairs of quality uniforms to every student before the commencement of the academic session to ensure timely delivery and quality control. Additionally, the Cabinet cleared the revised administrative approval for the under-construction District Court Complex at Pipliyahana in Indore. Factoring in updated requirements for the judicial infrastructure project, the construction cost has been revised upward from the original estimate of Rs 411.01 crore to a sanctioned revised cost of Rs 626.61 crore. Legislative enactments, judicial probe, and tax exemptions approved: The Council of Ministers also approved the draft templates for two ordinances designed to update governance and rural financial structures. The “Madhya Pradesh Panchayat Raj avam Gram Swaraj (Amendment) Ordinance, 2026” and the “Madhya Pradesh Cess (Amendment) Ordinance, 2026” received official nods for promulgation by the Governor under Article 213(1) of the Constitution.

 

The Finance Department has been authorised to handle the notification process for the Cess amendment, which updates the statutory framework to protect state revenue interests amidst the large-scale registration of rural property records under the Swamitva scheme. In an another decision, the Cabinet ratified the executive order dated May 10, which constituted a single-member judicial inquiry commission to investigate the fatal cruise accident at Bargi Dam in Jabalpur that occurred on April 30. The probe is being headed by retired High Court Judge Justice Sanjay Dwivedi to investigate the loss of life caused by the incident. Finally, the State Government formally ratified its earlier orders from July 24, 2025, and March 3, 2026, granting State Goods and Services Tax (SGST) exemptions to two Hindi feature films exhibiting in the state, namely ‘Tanvi the Great’ directed by Anupam Kher and ‘Shatak: Sangh Ke 100 Varsh’ directed by Ashish Mall, allowing the equivalent tax amount to be reimbursed to provide a direct price benefit to moviegoers.
