The choppers will be operated on a PPP (Public-Private Partnership) model.
The first sector will include Indore, Ujjain, Omkareshwar, Khandwa, Ratlam, Jhabua, Mandu, Gandhi Sagar, Neemuch, Alirajpur, Khargone, Nalkheda, Burhanpur, Hanumantia, and others.
The second sector comprises places such as Bhopal, Madai, Tamia, Pachmarhi, Sanchi, Damoh, Chhindwara, Indore, Datia, Shivpuri, Orchha, Guna, Tikamgarh, Kuno, Betul, Rajgarh, Sagar, and more.
The third sector covers locations such as Bandhavgarh, Kanha, Jabalpur, Khajuraho, Mandla, Pench, Indore, Chitrakoot, Maihar, Panna, Singrauli, Seoni, Sidhi, and others.
Indore is included in all three sectors as it is the commercial capital. This scheme will not only boost tourism but also promote business and trade. The helicopters will operate on a regular basis.
The Madhya Pradesh Cabinet has also decided to create 354 new senior resident posts in thirteen government hospitals across the state. This is a milestone decision in the medical field and will help strengthen faculty formation in these hospitals.
Along with this, the Cabinet has approved the commissioning of two old thermal plants: the Chachai plant in Amarkantak and the Satpura Thermal Plant in Sarni. The state share in these projects will be 15%, while the rest will be financed through loans.
