While addressing State-level Cooperative confernce, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav praised the exceptional management skills of Union Minister Amit Shah, likening him to the philosopher’s stone (Paras)—whatever department he takes over turns into "gold." Yadav stated that the agreements being signed in Shah’s presence are opening new avenues of possibilities for Madhya Pradesh. He emphasized that the cooperative sector holds immense potential and that multi-purpose cooperative societies are being used to expand cooperative activities in the state.
He added that the state government has taken several key decisions for the welfare of the underprivileged. Now, cooperative societies will also operate petrol pumps, medical stores, and other services. During the Global Investors Summit, agreements were signed to run factories through cooperatives as well.
Sharing a personal experience, Yadav highlighted that milk production is a proven means of increasing household income. The government is making every possible effort to promote cow rearing and dairy production. A subsidy scheme has been introduced for cattle rearing. The state aims to increase milk production from 9% to 20% of the national output. The government is moving forward with the vision of establishing "Gokul" in every home. To improve farmers’ lives, the government will purchase cow’s milk directly. Under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister Amit Shah, the state government is sensitively committed to farmer prosperity. With the signing of large-scale MoUs, tremendous opportunities are now unfolding.
Minister of Cooperation, Sports, and Youth Welfare Vishwas Kailash Sarang called it a historic day for the cooperative movement and the white revolution in the state. He said the Madhya Pradesh government has set a national example by implementing the CPPP (Cooperative Public-Private Partnership) model, integrating public, private, and cooperative efforts. Under the guidance of the central government, efforts are being made to give new dimensions to cooperation.
Lakhan Patel, Minister of State for Animal Husbandry (Independent Charge), highlighted the features of the new cooperative agreements. Member of Parliament VD Sharma said that Union Minister Amit Shah has presented a valuable gift to Madhya Pradesh through these agreements.
