Ujjain, the city of Baba Mahakal, has been the center of Vedic calculations in the whole world. Recollecting the ancient rich history, the world’s first Vikramaditya Vedic Clock is being installed in Ujjain.

Villages will be made self-reliant

Prime Minister Shri Modi said that the government is laying emphasis more on making villages self-reliant. Only self-reliant villages will create a self-reliant state and a self-reliant country. For this, more emphasis is being laid on the expansion of cooperatives in the country. Lakhs of cooperative societies are being formed in the villages. Efforts are being made to increase the income of farmers through farming, animal husbandry, poultry, fish farming and other means. Farmers are being provided a permanent solution to their land ownership and other ownership related problems through the PM Swamitva Yojana. Madhya Pradesh is doing good work under the Swamitva Yojana. Cent per cent survey of the villages of the state has been conducted through drones. More than 20 lakh ownership cards have been distributed so far. By using these ownership cards, poor families will be saved from many types of disputes.

Modi resolves to create new opportunities for employment

Prime Minister Shri Modi said that it is Modi’s resolve to create new opportunities for investment and employment in the state. In the coming time, Madhya Pradesh will be included among the major industrial states of the country. Madhya Pradesh is a major pillar of Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India. Mega Laser and Footwear Cluster in Sitapur, Morena, Readymade Garment Industry Park in Indore, expansion of Industrial Park in Mandsaur and new construction of Dhar Industrial Park, are major steps in this direction. Madhya Pradesh has an old tradition of making toys, but in olden times our markets and homes were filled with foreign made toys. The government provided assistance to traditional toy manufacturing families in the country under the Vishwakarma Yojana, due to which the import of toys in India reduced. Currently more than import, we are exporting more toys. This is a good opportunity for Budhni toy manufacturers. Modi is also responsible for promoting the country’s art and skills. When I gift items made in cottage industries to foreign guests, I try my best to promote their art and skills.

This increased credibility of India has direct benefits in the field of investment and tourism. Today more and more people want to come to India. If you come to India, it is natural to visit Madhya Pradesh, because ‘MP ajab hai, Sabse gazab hai’. In the last few years, there has been a huge increase in the number of devotees at Mamleshwar, Omkareshwar and Mahakaleshwar. This number will increase further with the Ekatm Dham being constructed in Omkareshwar in the memory of Adi Guru Shankaracharya. Simhastha Kumbh is going to be held in 2028. The construction of a four-lane road from Ichhapur to Omkareshwar in Indore will provide more convenience to devotees. Recently, 30 railway stations of the state are being rebuilt to further strengthen connectivity. If connectivity improves, its direct benefits can be seen in all sectors like agriculture, industry, tourism etc.

Coming 5 years will witness empowerment of women

Prime Minister Shri Modi said that the last 10 years have been the years of rise of women power. Modi had guaranteed that sincere efforts would be made to remove every inconvenience and suffering from the lives of women. Continuing these efforts, it is believed that the coming 5 years will be the years of unprecedented empowerment of our women. In the coming years, many Lakhpati Didis will be seen in every village. Rural women will bring about a new revolution in farming by making Namo Drone Didis. There will be unprecedented improvement in the financial condition of women.
