While celebrating Ambedkar Jayanti is important, I hope these events focus on his teachings of equality, justice, and education, and are not just symbolic. The real tribute would be implementing policies that uplift the marginalised sections of society in MP.

The tiger corridor project on NH-46 is excellent news! 🐯 Infrastructure is needed, but protecting wildlife is equally important. Glad to see a balanced approach. Hope the execution matches the planning.

Connecting Niwari to Jhansi will be a game-changer for trade in the Bundelkhand region. Long overdue. The focus on Ujjain's historical significance in time calculation is also fascinating. Our ancient knowledge needs this kind of global platform.

A week-long celebration is good, but what about year-round action on the ground? Social harmony programmes till 2027 sound promising, but their framework and implementation will be key. Hope they involve local communities and not just remain on paper.

Interesting read. As an outsider, it's impressive to see a state government planning such a long-term cultural and social programme (until 2027). The combination of honoring historical figures, building infrastructure, and promoting scientific heritage is a holistic approach to development.
