New Delhi, December 5 (IANS). Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said that the ‘Karmabhoomi to Janmabhoomi’ scheme being run to develop underground water storage capacity by collecting rain water is an innovative initiative.
He said that under this scheme, the businessmen from other states living in Gujarat and doing business are doing business in their states with their own resources. Work under this scheme has started in Satna district of Madhya Pradesh. It is a matter of happiness that the scheme has a target of installing 15,000 bores in the entire state. This campaign to save every drop of water, which is being run with the participation of traders doing business in Gujarat without government resources, is commendable.
