The Honourable Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Mohan Yadav, welcomed our Editor-in-Chief, Kamiya Jani, at his beautiful residence in Bhopal. Over some Malpua, Poha-Jalebi, and Ragi Balushahi, the CM opened up about his early life, goals, family, and more. As the CM of Madhya Pradesh, he holds a deep love for the state and is committed to its development under his leadership. From spiritual and adventure tourism to promoting various industries, the CM supports all the sectors. Let’s find out what he loves the most about Madhya Pradesh.
This Is What CM Mohan Yadav Loves About MP
Chief Minister Mohan Yadav believes that one of MP’s most special features is its thriving wildlife. He believes that MP’s forests are ‘living forests,’ home to a vast array of species. MP stands out because its forests have animals that are not found in many other parts of India. He also mentioned that MP has cheetahs, a species not found anywhere else on the entire Asian continent. Surely, that’s something every Indian can be proud of.
The forests in MP are not just flourishing, they have also seen a significant rise in the population of wild animals. In 2022, CM Mohan Yadav brought 20 cheetahs from Namibia and South Africa, and now the population of cheetahs has doubled. The cheetahs were brought under the Cheetah Project, under the guidance of PM Narendra Modi, which has been a huge success. However, many other countries have failed in their efforts to bring animals from abroad and help them adapt to a new environment.
“Tiger bhi sabse zyada yahi paye jate hai. Leopard, bhediye, giddh, pure desh mein sabse zyada kahi hai, toh wo yaha hai,” he said. Not only this, the state is also working to increase the population of crocodiles and turtles in its cleanest river, the Chambal. CM Mohan Yadav himself has released more than 100 of them after the eggs were nurtured for 2–3 years. He feels proud to be the leader of this beautiful state, which is also known as the Wildlife Capital of India.

He also loves that many celebrities visit the state, and that Bhopal is the hometown of Amitabh Bachchan’s wife and renowned actress Jaya Bachchan. “Hume garv hai ki wo hamare damad hai,’’ he said.
