Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan launched Mission Samriddh Gaon on Tuesday, with pilot projects in Budni block of Sehore district and Khategaon block of Dewas district in Madhya Pradesh. The mission aims to create poverty-free villages with employment and basic amenities through convergence of central and state schemes.
Chouhan said the objective is to develop model villages where every family has livelihood opportunities and people do not have to migrate out of compulsion. An integrated development framework will be prepared at family, panchayat and block levels. Successful models will later be replicated in other areas.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Chouhan, a former Madhya Pradesh chief minister, now heads the rural development ministry at the Centre. The pilot districts lie in his home state and have a large share of small and marginal farmers. Under the ministry's existing Lakhpati Didi scheme, 11 crore rural women have already been linked to livelihood programmes since 2021. The new mission adds a block-level convergence layer to those efforts. The ministry will measure results in the two pilot blocks before expanding the model to other districts.
