Ken-Betwa River Interlinking Project: A Game Changer for Bundelkhand
One of the most significant highlights of PM Modi‘s visit is the inauguration of the Ken-Betwa River Interlinking Project, which has long been a dream of the late former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. This project is set to transform the arid and drought-prone Bundelkhand region, spanning across both Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. The initiative is expected to provide much-needed irrigation facilities to vast tracts of land, supporting over 8.1 lakh hectares of land in Madhya Pradesh and another 2.5 lakh hectares in Uttar Pradesh, thus benefiting millions of farmers.
In addition to irrigation, the project will also provide a reliable source of drinking water and create employment opportunities in the region. These efforts are aligned with the government’s broader vision of fostering sustainable rural development and strengthening the local economy.
A Tribute to Atal Bihari Vajpayee
The inauguration of the Ken-Betwa project comes on a special occasion—the 100th birth anniversary of Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Prime Minister Modi will release a commemorative stamp and coin to honor the legacy of the former Prime Minister, who was instrumental in conceptualizing and laying the foundation for this ambitious project during his tenure.

Omkareshwar Floating Solar Project to Boost Green Energy
In line with his commitment to sustainable energy, PM Modi will inaugurate the Omkareshwar Floating Solar Project in the Khandwa district.
