On 15 November, CM Dr. Mohan Yadav will launch the Tantya Mama Udvahan irrigation scheme in Dahi, targeting 126 villages of Dhar‑Alirajpur and aiming to irrigate 47,000 hectares for about 1.26 lakh farmers.
Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav is scheduled to inaugurate the Tantya Mama Udvahan irrigation scheme on 15 November at Dahi, a town in Madhya Pradesh. The ceremony will mark the commencement of a Rs 1,353 crore project aimed at expanding water supply to the agrarian belt of Dhar and Alirajpur districts.
The scheme covers 126 villages across the two districts and is designed to bring irrigation facilities to roughly 47,000 hectares of cultivated land. By channeling water from the Narmada river, the project seeks to replace rain‑dependent farming with a reliable supply, thereby stabilising yields.
State officials estimate that about 1.26 lakh farmers will directly benefit from the new irrigation network. The government expects the increased water availability to boost crop production, improve farmer incomes, and reduce the region’s vulnerability to drought.
The launch underscores Madhya Pradesh’s broader push to modernise agricultural infrastructure and meet the water needs of its rural population, aligning with the state’s long‑term food security goals.
