Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for multiple development projects in Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh, on Wednesday.
One of the key highlights was the foundation stone of the Ken-Betwa River Linking Project, India’s first interlinking of rivers under a national perspective plan. This project aims to provide irrigation facilities across districts in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, benefiting thousands of farmers.
During his speech, PM Modi said, “In one year of (Chief Minister) Mohan Yadav’s government, development has gained new momentum. Today, development projects worth thousands of rupees have been started here. The Ken-Betwa Link Project has also been approved. I congratulate the people of Madhya Pradesh for these initiatives.”
PM Modi also unveiled a commemorative stamp and coin to honor the 100th birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He laid the foundation for 1,153 Atal Gram Sushasan Buildings, designed to strengthen Gram Panchayats and promote good governance at the local level.
Additionally, he inaugurated the Omkareshwar Floating Solar Project in Khandwa district. The project aims to reduce carbon emissions, conserve water by limiting evaporation, and support India’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070.
These initiatives highlight the government’s commitment to sustainable development and improved governance.
