He highlighted the historical significance of the river, noting how the Holkar dynasty preserved cultural heritage and developed key religious infrastructure with its support.
Yadav credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for accelerating Narmada-related projects, particularly the Sardar Sarovar Project, which has improved irrigation, industrial growth and drinking water supply across several regions.
The Chief Minister performed the bhoomi pujan, foundation laying ceremony, for the fourth phase of the Narmada water project, which is expected to significantly enhance Indore’s water supply capacity. Additionally, he inaugurated a R s62.72 crore sewage treatment plant at Sirpur, a Ramsar site, aimed at reducing pollution and promoting environmental sustainability.
Under the Sankalp Se Samadhan campaign, Yadav distributed benefits to thousands of beneficiaries. The initiative has successfully resolved over 1.44 lakh applications in Indore district alone, showcasing effective governance and citizen-centric service delivery.
Speaking on future plans, the Chief Minister announced the launch of the Jal Ganga Sanvardhan Abhiyan, focusing on the construction and revival of nearly 2.75 lakh water structures, including wells, tubewells, ponds and canals. The campaign, running from Gudi Padwa to Ganga Dussehra, aims to strengthen water conservation across the state.
Highlighting major interlinking projects, he noted that the Ken-Betwa river linking project will benefit 25 districts in Bundelkhand, while the Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal project will enhance irrigation and drinking water supply in 13 districts across Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. He also reaffirmed the government’s commitment to rejuvenating the Shipra river ahead of Simhastha 2028.
