In the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Madhya Pradesh government signed a tripartite Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with the Rajasthan government and the Centre for the Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal (PKC) river-linking project on Tuesday in Jaipur.

Addressing the pact ceremony, PM Modi said the PKC river link project will transform both into "Sujalam-Sufalam" states, ensuring abundant water for irrigation, and drinking purposes. He stated that the project will pave the way for not only water management but also for job opportunities.

"This agreement is not ordinary but a historic milestone that will be remembered for decades to come," PM Modi said. He expressed confidence that the project would be completed ahead of schedule.
