CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan launches Vikas Yatra
MP: On the occasion of Sant Ravidas Jayanti, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that the ‘Vikas Yatra’, which started in the state today, is a campaign to change the lives of the people.

CM Chouhan addresses the gathering
Addressing the gathering, CM Chouhan said that the central government and state government are working by following his lines- “Aisa Chahun Raj Main, Jahan Mile Saban Ko Ann, Chhote-Badon Sab Sam Base, Ravidas Rahe Prasanna (I want such a rule, where everyone gets food, small and big people live on equal terms and everyone remains happy.) Our resolution is the welfare of the poor”
For this purpose, such families, which were deprived of taking advantage of the government schemes, were identified by conducting Mukhya Mantri Jan Seva Abhiyan in every village and ward in the state.
Under the campaign, work is being done to distribute sanction letters to 83 lakh eligible persons. Today, approval letters of 38 different schemes have been distributed to 3 lakh 77 thousand new beneficiaries of the Chambal division, said the chief minister.
All these beneficiaries will start getting the benefits of the schemes. Important action will be taken to identify the remaining eligible persons and connect them with the schemes even during the Vikas Yatra.
