State Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led MP govt has added seven more days of casual leave. The women had previously been granted 13 casual leaves.

 Women artisans will be given training in the use of advanced technology in handloom and handicraft through the National Institute of Design (NID) and National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), he said. he said , female students in technical education institutes would receive 60 to 80 hours of training in English, digital and financial literacy,  communication, and work readiness.
