A major highlight of the event will be the launch of a training programme for 1,000 ‘Krishi Sakhis’.

The programme will be attended by several senior members of the state Cabinet, including Deputy Chief Ministers Jagdish Devda and Rajendra Shukla, along with ministers Aidal Singh Kansana, Rakesh Singh, Prahlad Singh Patel, and Lakhan Patel.
In addition to the main event, the Chief Minister will inaugurate and lay the foundation for several development projects related to agriculture and infrastructure.

Four units under the Department of Farmer Welfare and Agriculture Development, with a combined outlay of Rs 4.92 crore, will also be dedicated, underscoring the government’s push toward agriculture-led growth through targeted investments.
