Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav attended a high-level meeting in New Delhi today, convened by Union Jal Shakti Minister C.R. Paatil, to discuss critical water resource management strategies for the Narmada river basin. Joined by Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, Yadav focused on enhancing interstate cooperation to address the dual challenges of drought and flooding in their respective states.

The meeting centered on optimizing the use of Narmada river waters, a lifeline for both Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat, through projects like the Sardar Sarovar Dam and other irrigation schemes. With Madhya Pradesh experiencing excess monsoon rainfall this year, discussions also covered flood management and the equitable distribution of water to drought-prone areas. “The Narmada is our shared resource, and we must work together to ensure its benefits reach every farmer and household,” Yadav stated during the meeting.

The talks also explored long-term solutions for sustainable water management, including the construction of new reservoirs, canal networks, and micro-irrigation systems. Union Minister Paatil emphasized the central government’s commitment to supporting states in tackling water scarcity and flood risks through technology and infrastructure development.

For Madhya Pradesh, where agriculture employs over 70% of the population, efficient water management is critical. The state has faced recurring issues with water distribution, particularly in regions like Bundelkhand, which suffer from chronic drought despite the state’s overall water surplus. The meeting concluded with a resolution to form a joint task force to monitor Narmada projects and address interstate concerns promptly.

Back in Bhopal, officials expressed hope that the outcomes of the meeting would lead to tangible improvements. “This collaboration will help us balance our water needs and protect our farmers from the unpredictability of nature,” said a senior official from the Madhya Pradesh Water Resources Department. As the state navigates its water challenges, the decisions made in New Delhi could shape its agricultural and economic future.
