Indore, October 31, 2025:
As Madhya Pradesh enters the 70th year of its formation on November 1, 2025, the state stands at the threshold of a new era of investment, innovation, and employment-driven development. Established on November 1, 1956, the state has witnessed transformative growth over the past two decades, positioning itself among India’s leading regions for industrial and economic progress.
This year’s State Foundation Day celebrations, coinciding with the auspicious occasion of Dev Uthani Ekadashi, reflect the deep cultural roots and festive spirit that unite the people of Madhya Pradesh. “Our festivals are not just traditions—they are expressions of our cultural identity and sources of inspiration for building the future,” the statement read.
Madhya Pradesh, often called the Heart of India, is rich in forests, water, minerals, agriculture, art, and culture. Blessed by the sacred rivers Narmada, Chambal, Parvati, and Shipra, and home to revered spiritual sites like Ujjain, Omkareshwar, and Chitrakoot, the state’s heritage forms the foundation of its forward journey from legacy to modern development.
A Vision Aligned with the Nation’s Growth
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India is on track to becoming the world’s third-largest economy. In alignment with the Prime Minister’s vision of a “Viksit Bharat” (Developed India), Madhya Pradesh has adopted the theme “Industry and Employment” for its Statehood celebrations this year, reflecting its focus on inclusive growth, cultural vibrancy, and people’s participation.
The government has launched several initiatives to transform investment potential into tangible outcomes. Regional Investors’ Summits have been successfully held in Ujjain, Jabalpur, Gwalior, Sagar, Rewa, Shahdol, Narmadapuram, and major cities like Mumbai, Coimbatore, Bengaluru, Pune, Delhi, as well as international destinations such as the UK, Germany, Japan, and Dubai. These efforts have led to a multi-fold rise in investment interest in the state.
Madhya Pradesh: A Hub for Startups and Industrial Growth
The state has become a fertile ground for industrial expansion and startup innovation. The government has established Innovation Hubs, Startup Policies, and Incubation Networks to accelerate India’s startup revolution. The Global Investors Summit drew strong domestic and international participation, while the Mineral Conclave alone secured investment proposals exceeding ₹56,000 crore, thanks to progressive policies and simplified administration.
Significant strides have been made in IT parks, electronics manufacturing, and renewable energy sectors, showcasing Madhya Pradesh’s readiness for the future.
Employment and Skill Development at the Core
Driven by the Prime Minister’s GYAN mantra—Garib (Poor), Yuva (Youth), Annadata (Farmer), Nari (Women)—the state has prioritized employment generation, youth empowerment, and social welfare. The Madhya Pradesh Skill Development Mission and Startup Policy 2025 have empowered youth to become job creators instead of job seekers.
Through job fairs, apprenticeship programs, and digital certifications, thousands of young professionals are being connected to sustainable livelihood opportunities. Madhya Pradesh has also become the first state in India to issue a recruitment calendar to streamline government hiring.
Agricultural Innovation and Rural Prosperity
The government’s commitment to agricultural modernization is evident in its adoption of drone-based crop inspection, smart irrigation, and value addition in farm produce. With over 52 lakh hectares under irrigation and an ambitious target to double it to 100 lakh hectares within three years, the state is ushering in a new green revolution. Direct online payments, digital mandis, and organic farming initiatives have further boosted farmers’ incomes. Madhya Pradesh continues to lead the nation in the production of wheat, soybean, pulses, and spices.
Women Empowerment and Social Transformation
The “Ladli Behna Yojana” and the Nari Shakti Mission have emerged as transformative initiatives, offering women financial security, entrepreneurship opportunities, and leadership in sectors like dairy, handicrafts, and small-scale industries. Self-help groups led by women are being supported through access to finance and markets, driving grassroots economic empowerment.
Dairy and Rural Economy Development
Recognizing the importance of livestock in rural livelihoods, the state has launched the Chief Minister’s Cow Conservation Mission, establishing cow sanctuaries and service centers across Madhya Pradesh. As a result, milk production has increased significantly, strengthening the state’s agrarian economy.
A Golden Journey Towards an Atmanirbhar Madhya Pradesh
With the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the cooperation of its citizens, Madhya Pradesh continues to translate welfare policies into impactful action. The state’s golden journey is being propelled by the vision of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas.”
The ultimate goal is clear: smiles on every face, prosperity for farmers, dignity for women, and a bright future for youth.
Together, the people of Madhya Pradesh are building a truly self-reliant state—one that stands tall as a pillar in the making of a Developed India.
