A cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Wednesday reviewed several important decisions and development projects related to agriculture, health, industry, and administrative reforms. Prior to the meeting, the Chief Minister also briefed the ministers on the progress of various schemes and the government's upcoming action plan.
The Chief Minister stated that the state government will auction any wheat, paddy, millet, and sorghum produce purchased annually at the Minimum Support Price (MSP) that the central government does not include in the central pool.

He explained that the government faces a financial burden of approximately Rs 65,000 crore due to produce purchased at the support price.
