MP is focal point of country’s rivers

Rivers flowing in all directions originate from here. Giving concrete shape to the concept of Nadi Jodo Abhiyan of former Prime Minister late Atal Bihari Vajpayee, PM Narendra Modi has provided the state government and Uttar Pradesh government with Rs. 45 thousand crores each by approving the Ken-Betwa link project. With this project, Bundelkhand, the land of warriors, will get irrigation facilities and life there will be easier. Similarly, PM Modi has also approved the Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal Link Project for which all the people of the state are grateful to him.
Dr. Yadav said that Bhopal is a city with an integrated culture. In the last 60-70 years, people who came here from different parts of the country gave Bhopal the shape of a capital, and the streams coming from different parts merged here.
