Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan attends 'Pragati Path Yatra' in Bhopal
Bhopal, June 13
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Saturday attended the 'Pragati Path Yatra' initiative programme in Bhopal and said the Bharatiya Janata Party was reaching out to people across the country following the completion of 12 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership.
Speaking at the event, Pradhan said he had been engaging with different sections of society in Bhopal as part of the party's outreach initiatives.
"Following the completion of 12 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, we are reaching out to people across the country through various initiatives. As per the party's plan, I am in Bhopal today. Since this morning, I have been engaging with different sections of society, as part of the 'Pragati Path Yatra'," he said.
The Union Minister also spoke about the newly inaugurated Municipal Corporation building in Bhopal, "I was informed about the new Municipal Corporation building, which was inaugurated. It stands as a witness to modern India--environmentally friendly, sustainable, energy-efficient, with ample natural light and reduced reliance on air conditioning."
He added that the building uses a natural water-cooling process instead of traditional cooling systems and expressed confidence that civic officials would further enhance the city's development.
Praising Bhopal for its cleanliness, Pradhan urged the city to secure the top position in the Cleanliness Survey.
"Bhopal is already known for its beauty and cleanliness, but I urge you to aim for the top spot in the Cleanliness Survey," he said.
Highlighting his interaction with women from Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and women entrepreneurs, the Union Minister said he was impressed by their enthusiasm and aspirations, particularly their interest in learning about Artificial Intelligence (AI) to expand their businesses.
"A highlight of my visit was meeting women from various Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and women entrepreneurs. I was deeply impressed by their positive energy. I asked them if they wished to study further, and I was surprised when they expressed a strong desire to learn about Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance their businesses," he said.
Pradhan also praised women entrepreneurs for their work.
Earlier in the day, Union Education Minister also undertook a series of engagements in Madhya Pradesh, including witnessing shooting athletes in action, participating in a cleanliness drive, and meeting Chief Minister Mohan Yadav in Bhopal.

12 years of Modi ji's leadership and we're still doing 'Pragati Path Yatra'? Feels more like election campaigning than actual development. The new MC building is nice but what about the potholes in my locality? 🤔
Impressed by the focus on sustainable architecture! That new MC building sounds like a model for other cities. Natural cooling and energy efficiency - we need more of this in India's urban planning. Hope Bhopal tops the cleanliness survey too. 🏆
The enthusiasm of women wanting to learn AI is inspiring! But seriously, is this just a photo-op or will there be real skill development programmes? SHGs need more than just praise - they need funding and market access. 🙏
Attending a cleanliness drive and shooting practice in one day? Talk about multitasking! But what about the education system? As Education Minister, isn't Pradhan supposed to be fixing school curriculums instead of doing political yatras? Just saying...
Interesting to see an Indian minister focus on green building design. The natural water cooling system sounds innovative. Would be great if this becomes a standard practice across all government buildings. Good move, Bhopal! 🌿
