HM Shah will take part in a major programme in Rishikesh. At 2:45 P.M., he is scheduled to arrive at Gita Bhavan in Swargashram, where he will address the release ceremony of the centenary edition of the monthly magazine 'Kalyan', published by the renowned Gita Press.

The magazine Kalyan has played a vital role for decades in promoting Indian culture, religious values, and moral principles across the country and abroad. During the event, the Union Minister is expected to highlight the historic contribution of Gita Press and reflect on its achievements over the past 100 years. His presence at the centenary celebrations underscores the cultural and spiritual significance of the institution.

The inauguration of this hospital is expected to significantly strengthen healthcare facilities in the region and ensure timely treatment for critically ill patients.

Following this, at 10:45 A.M., Amit Shah will reach Gayatri Teerth Shantikunj, where he will offer prayers at the Akhanda Jyoti and interact with members of the Gayatri Parivar. The visit highlights the spiritual and social influence of the Gayatri family in national life.

The Union Minister will also attend a large public programme at Bairagi Island, Haridwar, organised on the occasion of the birth centenary of Param Vandaniya Mata Bhagwati Devi Sharma and the Akhanda Deep Centenary Year.

The 'Centenary Year Celebration 2026' is expected to witness participation from devotees and dignitaries from across India and abroad. Shah will address the gathering and commend the Gayatri Parivar for its enduring contributions to social reform and spiritual awakening.

Good to see the inauguration of a new hospital in Haridwar. Healthcare infrastructure in our pilgrimage towns needs serious upgrading to handle the tourist and local population. Hope this is a full-fledged facility and not just a symbolic gesture.

While promoting culture is important, I hope the visit also addresses concrete issues facing Uttarakhand like migration from hills, unemployment, and environmental concerns. Development needs to be balanced.

As someone who visited Rishikesh last year, the spiritual energy there is incredible. It's interesting to see a political figure engaging so directly with these institutions. The blend of healthcare inauguration and spiritual programs is a unique approach.

The schedule is packed with symbolism. Hopefully, the public address at Bairagi Island will also cover what the central government is doing for Uttarakhand's infrastructure and disaster management, which are critical for the state.
