Furthermore, a landmark decision was taken to extend the benefits of the sixth pay scale to teachers and employees of non-governmental organizations receiving grants under the Tribal Affairs Department. This decision, effective since January 2006, is aimed at fostering inclusivity and acknowledging the contributions of educators in tribal areas.

In a move toward administrative efficiency, the cabinet approved the merger of the Public Health and Family Welfare Department with the Medical Education Department. The amalgamation of these departments will lead to the formation of the "Public Health and Medical Education Department," streamlining operations and potentially improving healthcare and medical education services across the state.

These decisions underscore the government's commitment to comprehensive development, emphasizing education, healthcare, and administrative reforms in Madhya Pradesh. The establishment of Prime Minister's Colleges of Excellence and the reorganization of departments are poised to have a lasting impact on the socio-economic fabric of the state.
