The Deputy Chief Minister inaugurated the programme with Kanya Pujan.
Addressing the gathering, Deputy Chief Minister Devda said that within the coming year, irrigation water will reach every farm through the Malhargarh Micro Irrigation Project.

Work under the River Linking Project is being carried out rapidly across the country. He added that benefits of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi are reaching all eligible farmers, and the government has provided housing to the poor to ensure them a dignified life.
