Highlighting the state’s growing economy, Vijayvargiya said that things have been changing in the state. “When I was the industry minister the trade volume of Bhopal was around Rs 100-150 crores and now it has grown to Rs 1000 crore,” the minister said. Hailing the state's IT policy, the minister said that around 10 lakh youths have got employment in the IT sector.

The tiger reserve forest projects will displace around 500 tribal villages, and a total of 2,000 tribal villages in the state are at risk due to ongoing mining projects, said the legislator, adding, “the state has to think about us”.
