Lucknow,

29 May (HS): Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday inaugurated a grand

exhibition organized under the 'Punyashlok' Pujya Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Birth

Tricentenary Year Smriti Abhiyan-2025 at GPO Park, Lucknow. On this occasion,

National General Secretary of Bharatiya Janata Party BL Santosh, BJP State

President Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary, State Organization General Secretary

Dharampal Singh and Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya were present.

Speaking

on the occasion of inauguration of the exhibition, the Chief Minister said that

the personality and work of Devi Ahilyabai Holkar is a source of inspiration

for the Indian society and that this exhibition will make the entire state

familiar with the immense contribution of Lokmata. It will also provide an

opportunity to get inspiration from her unique work done for social harmony,

national unity and public welfare.

The

Chief Minister said that the past is not just for reading, but it is a powerful

medium to assimilate and learn from it. He said that it is necessary for us to

rectify the mistakes of the past and accept the glorious moments as ideals.

This exhibition related to the life of Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar is providing us

an opportunity to introspect. He said that the all-India vision of Lokmata

Ahilyabai made her a unique model of good governance, security and good order

across the country. Her period is a living example of Indian women power,

social justice and public welfare.

The

Chief Minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,

India is reviving its great heritage and culture. It is a matter of good

fortune that continuous efforts are being made to bring the personality and

work of the great personalities of the country to the common people. In this

sequence, seminars, essay writing competitions, exhibitions, drama series, folk

song programs etc. are being organized in Uttar Pradesh from 21 to 31 May under

the 'Punyashlok' Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Janm Trishatabdi Varsh Smriti Abhiyan.

A

glimpse of connecting heritage under Modi's leadership is visible: The Chief

Minister said that we did not see the era of Lokmata Ahilyabai directly, but we

have been seeing a live vision of her ideals through the working style of Prime

Minister Modi for the last 11 years. He said that from Kashi Vishwanath Dham to

Kedarnath, from Muktinath in Nepal to Somnath, from Mahakal to Rameswaram, we are

getting a glimpse of connecting heritage under the leadership of Prime Minister

Modi.

The

Chief Minister said that today's India is not only an India of ideas, but is

also a strong example of development of infrastructure. Highways, expressways,

railways, metro, rapid rail, airways and waterways are shaping the image of new

India. He said that historic changes have also taken place in the field of

health. For a long time after independence, there was only one AIIMS in the

country. During the tenure of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, six

new AIIMS were built, while Prime Minister Modi has presented a new model of

health services to the country by establishing 23 new AIIMS.

The

Chief Minister said that the state is also moving towards achieving the goal of

'One District, One Medical College'. The National Education Policy is proving

to be a milestone in the field of education. Many schemes are being run for the

welfare of farmers, poor, workers, youth and women. He said that schemes like

10 crore gas connections under the Ujjwala Yojana, construction of 12 crore

toilets, 50 crore Ayushman cards and free ration to 80 crore people since the

Covid period till now are indicative of a new era of good governance, security

and good order under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi.

Chief

Minister observed the exhibition: Before his address, the Chief Minister

observed the exhibition. All the topics like farmers, women, business, justice,

administration, affection, happiness and equality during the period of Lokmata

are displayed in the exhibition. After seeing the exhibition, the Chief

Minister praised the organizers and urged the people of the state to take

inspiration from the thoughts and ideals of Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar and

participate in the work of nation building.
