Chouhan, with wife Sadhana on his side and a portrait of Mahatma Gandhi behind him, sat on fast at a pandal in BHEL's Dusshera ground, with an appeal for peace.
He is expected to meet farmers today and also chair a meeting of government officials at the makeshift room in the pandal where he is sitting on fast.
In the last 10 days, farmers resorted to violence during their stir for various demands, including a complete loan waiver.
Chouhan yesterday met some farmer leaders, but failed to reach a compromise.
