“No poor will remain landless in Madhya Pradesh. The Mukhyamantri Bhu-Adhikar Yojana is under implementation in the interest of the poor in the state. Land pattas have been given to 27,000 people in Shivpuri district. If anyone is left, they will also be provided. Soon a college will be established at Bairad in Pohri,” CM Chouhan said.
The state government is empowering the tribal people by improving access to water, forests and land.

The families who could not get housing units under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, will be helped to construct houses under the Mukhyamantri Jan Awas Yojana.
