Sheopur is changing and developing at a fast pace: Chouhan

 

 

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that Sheopur is changing and developing at a fast pace. Many schemes are run by the Central and State governments for development and public welfare. The Government, people’s representatives, administration and residents of Sheopur together take a pledge that they will co-operate entirely with full commitment in this race of progress and development. Along with this, 100 percent implementation of Government schemes should be ensured in Sheopur.

Chouhan said that our Government is dedicated towards welfare and development of poor. Hues of development can be witnessed on the land of Sheopur on Rang Panchami. After arrival of cheetahs, the national highway, broad gauge rail, and the gift of a medical college in Sheopur are creating a new history of development. There will never be any shortage of funds for the progress of backward districts like Sheopur.

Chouhan took part in foundation laying of Rs 768 crore Medical College building, Munjhari Major Irrigation Project, Premsar-Rinikheda Mudhla Marg and CM Rise Government Model Higher Secondary School building and dedication of development works worth Rs 245.41 crore in Sheopur on Sunday. The Chief Minister also dedicated the Chambal Micro Irrigation Project costing Rs 167.58 crore. During this programme, the women of Sheopur presented a 51-feet-long Rakhi to Chouhan for implementing Ladli Bahna Yojana in the State. CM Chouhan also announced to establish a college in Baroda.

Sheopur got cheetah due to foresight of Prime Minister Modi: Chief Minister Chouhan said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a Yugpurush. The country is fortunate enough to get the leadership of such a visionary. Cheetahs have arrived in Sheopur on the initiative of Prime Minister Modi. This has increased the possibility of employment opportunities in Sheopur. Women of self-help groups are also getting inspired to run homestays in their villages. The Central and State Governments are committed to change the lives of the poor. As a result of this thinking, the Ladli Bahna scheme has been implemented. Union Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said that today is a historic day for Sheopur. Sheopur is a remote and backward district, but under the leadership of Chouhan, sectors of roads, electrification, irrigation, health and education have expanded. Sheopur district is now being recognised as a leading district. He said that no one had thought that there would be a medical college in Sheopur. Chouhan has laid foundation stone of the college building. He said that I would like to thank the PM Narendra Modi for providing an amount of Rs 258 crore to Sheopur for the medical college. Now there will be no shortage of specialist doctors in Sheopur. People will not need to go to Gwalior, Kota, Sawai Madhopur, Jaipur and Bandra for treatment. Sheopur will now become a factory for preparing doctors. The doctors who graduate from here will render their services in the country. Tomar thanked CM Chouhan for Munjhari Dam. He said that this dam was approved in 2017 itself and its tender was also done. He said that 12,000 hectare land will be irrigated with Chambal Micro Irrigation Project costing Rs 167.50 crore. In the series of dams to be built on the Kuno river, work will also be done on the Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Major Irrigation Project. Sheopur, Gwalior, Morena, Bhind, Guna and other districts will be benefited from this project.

Union Civil Aviation and Steel Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said that Chouhan has left an indelible impression with development and trust of masses in Madhya Pradesh. He said that the day of Rang Panchami is unforgettable for Sheopur. For the development of Sheopur district, development works worth more than one thousand crore rupees have been dedicated and bhoomi pujan has been done. Today, Chief Minister Chouhan has given two big gifts to Anna Datas in the field of irrigation. While one has been dedicated, the bhoomi pujan ceremony of the other has been performed, this will change the fate and picture of the region. Referring to the development of Sheopur and his association, Union Minister Shri Scindia said that Shrimant Madho Maharaj had given the facility of narrow gauge train to Sheopur 100 years ago along with Avada Dam. With changing requirements and expectations, at present this area is being connected with broad gauge rail through joint efforts of Tomar. In the first phase, Gwalior to Sheopur will be connected in broad gauge rail project and in the second phase from Sheopur to Kota will be connected. The work of first phase is in progress.
