This was stated by the State's Panchayat and Rural Development Department, Labor Minister Prahlad Singh Patel during the Panch-Sarpanch Conference and Orientation Program and Jal Ganga Conservation Campaign organized at Jararudham Gau-Abhiyaan. Minister Prahlad Patel said that Panch-Sarpanch are the unit of Panchayat. He said that yesterday from Dhar, Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav ji has transferred the amount of Sambal of Rs. 600 crore through a single click. Right now the department has a budget of 700 crores, when the amount will be transferred within 21 days with the same date, all the pending cases till March will be resolved.

Minister Prahlad Patel said that last year Jal Ganga Samvardhan Abhiyan was for 1 month and this year it is for 03 months, for this I thank the Chief Minister of the state Dr. Mohan Yadav. He said that last year plantation was banned in the entire state that the person who can keep the plant alive will do the plantation work. He told the Panchs and Sarpanchs that all of us should fulfill full responsibility for our Panchayat. Lakhan Patel said that now for the next two and a half years, lack of funds will not come in the way. Do good work in your Panchayats.

State Minister (Independent Charge) for Animal Husbandry and Dairy Department, Lakhan Patel said, I want to thank Panchayat and Rural Development Minister Prahlad Patel, who organized a Panch-Sarpanch Sammelan in Pathariya Assembly constituency under Jal Ganga Sanvardhan Yojana. State Minister Lakhan Patel said that Panch-Sarpanch is such a link, which is the lowest unit and the strongest unit to implement the government's plan on the ground. The importance of Jal Ganga Sanvardhan Yojana is that we should conserve and preserve water. Every year water is going down 50-100 feet, because we are not preserving it, we are just taking it out. State Minister Lakhan Patel said that the government's intention is to work towards preserving our old units, stepwells, big wells.

State Minister of Culture, Tourism, Religious Trust and Endowments (Independent Charge) Dharmendra Singh Lodhi said that how should we plan for our village in future under Jal Ganga Sanvardhan Abhiyan. Now, during summers, we face water problems or the ground water level of hand pumps goes down, water stops coming in hand pumps, all these works can be done through water recharge. He said that I welcome all the Panchs, Sarpanchs and public representatives present in this program. The minister said that definitely today we will discuss all these things in the Panch-Sarpanch Sammelan and will also go after deep deliberation on how our village's Rachna Yojana can be. The minister of state said that definitely Jal Ganga Sanvardhan Abhiyan and Panch-Sarpanch Sammelan will also be fruitful.

MP Damoh Rahul Singh Lodhi said that the Modi government at the center and the Dr. Mohan Yadav government in the state are working with full honesty. The MP said that the Chief Minister of the state Dr. Mohan Yadav had urged all of you in a program organized in Singhrampur that no matter how difficult the situation may be, no matter how much difficulty you face, you should not sell your agricultural land, because in the coming 10 years, the Madhya Pradesh government will work to provide drinking water and irrigation water to every village of Bundelkhand by connecting small rivers by building Ken-Betwa link and small dams. He said that the Prime Minister of the country Modi is continuously committed to this, if there is only one thing needed, it is only water, in these 10 years, every inch of land in Bundelkhand will be irrigated with water under the leadership of the central government. The MP said that take part in the Jal Ganga Sanvardhan Abhiyan and make it successful. Panch and Sarpanch are such units, after winning, everyone's eyes are on them and they work. The MP government is continuously working to save water, for which Jal Sanvardhan Abhiyan is being run. District Panchayat President Ranjita Gaurav Patel said that the smallest unit of three-tier Panchayati Raj is the Sarpanch. First of all, villagers take their problems to the Sarpanch. Small works of the public, their development, new work is done first by the Sarpanch. President Ranjita Gaurav Patel said that you have been called today so that whatever problems you have, whatever obstacles are coming in your development work, they should be resolved. She said that the most important thing is that the women sitting here, the women who are Panch-Sarpanch, women themselves should play their part in Panchayati Raj.

BJP District President Shyam Shivhare said that all of you are sitting here in the capacity of Sarpanch-Panchayat, Jararudham Sthal is being developed as a cow sanctuary. He said that first of all, the role of the Sarpanch should be to develop the village. Schemes are coming for the elderly, poor and children living in the village. He said that such conferences at a place like Jararudham Sanctuary make us proud, the role of the Sarpanch should be to develop the village and the plan should be implemented properly on the ground so that the objective of Panchayat Raj is achieved. He said, I hope you will play your important role for the development of the village.
