Ravi Kushwaha/Vidisha: Farmers of Madhya Pradesh have made the state first in the country in terms of agriculture. In this situation, the state government runs many schemes to encourage farmers and help them financially. Now the government has taken a step forward in this regard.

The state government has launched the Chief Minister Krishak Mitra Yojana. Under this scheme, the government has decided to provide transformer and 11 KV power line facility to farmers or groups of farmers to connect 3 horse power permanent pumps in the field. This will provide considerable relief to the farmers of the state.
