Sliced out as a state on November 1 in 1956, Madhya Pradesh, at the heart of India, is all set to move up several notches on the development front with strong impetus on welfare, education, roads, power, industry and tourism to ring in what Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan describes as the golden era of the state.
"The optimism is infectious and all over the place, from the political and industrial hubs of Bhopal and Indore to last mile villages, far from the madding crowds and swank retail facilities that are beginning to come up across the state," says part-time filmmaker and full-time entrepreneur Nasir Ali.
The various government sectors are also smitten by the recent soar of the development graph, inbound domestic tourists to the state recorded a colossal jump making Madhya Pradesh the fifth most sought after destination for visitors from within the country.
