M.P. Farmers to Get Four Times the Market Price Compensation for Agricultural Land Accusation, Says CM Yadav
The cabinet also approved Rs 33,985 crore for roads, irrigation, health and education projects, officials said.
- On Wednesday, the Madhya Pradesh Cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Mohan Yadav doubled the multiplication factor for rural land acquisition to 2.0, ensuring farmers receive four times the registered market value for agricultural land.
- Persistent tensions between infrastructure development and agrarian land needs prompted the move, as the state government aims to pre-empt farmer protests against opaque acquisition processes that have stalled projects.
- Officials allocated Rs 33,985 crore for infrastructure construction, including a Rs 969 crore rehabilitation package for the Chhindwara irrigation complex, while compensation increases apply only to rural areas.
- Yadav framed the decision as strategic, stating, "Farmers will now be given four times the compensation," which the administration expects will accelerate project completion without obstacles.
- The Bharatiya Janata Party seeks to neutralise opposition narratives by linking higher compensation with faster project execution, balancing its pro-farmer messaging with development priorities in a state where agrarian distress shapes electoral outcomes.
