The Madhya Pradesh Council of Ministers, under the leadership of Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav, has taken several significant decisions aimed at boosting public welfare and administrative efficiency across the state. The cabinet meeting resulted in approvals spanning housing schemes, welfare measures, and key administrative clearances that are expected to impact numerous citizens.
Major Housing Scheme Approvals
The council granted administrative approval for the construction of 1,528 new houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban (PMAY-U). This decision represents a substantial step toward addressing urban housing shortages and providing affordable housing solutions to eligible beneficiaries across various cities in Madhya Pradesh.
Additionally, the cabinet approved the construction of 3,464 houses specifically for residents of slum areas under the in-situ slum rehabilitation component of PMAY-U. This initiative focuses on improving living conditions for slum dwellers while developing proper urban infrastructure in these areas.
Welfare and Administrative Decisions
In a move that will benefit numerous families, the council approved the compassionate appointment of Smt. Archana Vishwakarma, wife of late Shri Santosh Kumar Vishwakarma, as Assistant Grade-3. This decision demonstrates the government's commitment to supporting families of deceased employees.
The cabinet also sanctioned the creation of 20 new positions for drivers in the District Panchayat of Sehore. This administrative decision aims to strengthen the local governance structure and improve service delivery mechanisms in the district.
Financial Approvals and Future Implications
All the approved decisions come with allocated budgets and implementation timelines, though specific financial details were not disclosed in the announcement. The housing schemes are expected to generate employment opportunities in the construction sector while addressing the critical need for affordable housing in urban areas.
The various decisions taken during this cabinet meeting reflect the state government's continued focus on development initiatives and welfare measures that directly impact citizens' quality of life. The approvals are likely to accelerate urban development projects and strengthen administrative capabilities at the district level.
These decisions mark another step in the state government's ongoing efforts to implement its development agenda and address key public needs through systematic policy approvals and scheme implementations.
