Niwari (Madhya Pradesh) [India], May 17 (ANI): Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that every poor person in the state would get land to live free of cost and the government would also build houses on it. CM Chouhan made the remark while addressing a program in Prithvipur in Niwari district on Wednesday.
Addressing the program CM Chouhan said, he came for a program near Mohangarh in Prithvipur itself and at that time a group of people stopped him in a village and addressed their problem that they did not have a place to live. Around 40 to 50 people were living in a house. After which he made the plan to provide land to the poor in Prithvipur itself so that they would have their own piece of land to live.
“No poor will remain without land in Madhya Pradesh. Plots will be made available to them free of cost in the state. I am distributing land pattas to 2705 families today and this campaign will continue continuously. We will give a piece of land and later we will also build a small house on it,” the CM said. The plan to provide tap water connection to every house in the state is on the verge of completion.

The women are now changing the fortune of themselves, their families and the picture of the state. This has been made possible by schemes like Ladli Lakshmi, Chief Minister Kanya-Vivah-Nikah, 50 percent reservation in local bodies, women reservation in police and teachers recruitment, livelihood mission, exemption for women in stamp duty and Ladli Bahna Yojana.”
Ladli Bahna Yojana is a plan to change the lives of women. Under the scheme, an amount of Rs 1000 will be deposited in the accounts of women.
