Overview
- The state Cabinet formally approved the roughly ₹24,500 crore package on Tuesday, combining new sanctions and revised cost estimates for infrastructure, health, education and irrigation.
- The 105‑km Damoh‑Katni highway was sanctioned for about ₹4,470 crore as a four‑lane project intended to strengthen Bundelkhand connectivity.
- Health approvals include a revised ₹372 crore estimate to expand Singrauli medical college by about 150 MBBS seats and roughly ₹3,313 crore in wider health project funding for new and continuing hospital and primary‑care works.
- The Cabinet cleared around 900 long‑pending compassionate appointments, set a roughly 20% reservation for Agniveers in frontline posts, and approved continued pay support for guest teachers.
- Officials said many approvals still need budget releases, tenders and execution plans and the government has set delivery targets such as Rampura‑Manhasa by 2027 and a Kshipra cleanup ahead of the Simhastha festival, so on‑the‑ground impact will depend on those next steps.
