Mahakaleshwar is one of the most powerful Jyotirlingas. It's heartening that they attended the Shayan Aarti. The spiritual side of our leaders is often overlooked. Jai Mahakal! Har Har Mahadev!

While I respect the religious visit, I hope the focus remains on the actual work. PPP mode for medical colleges needs strict oversight to ensure they remain affordable for the common man. The proof will be in the execution.

Interesting blend of tradition and development. The heritage hotel tour also shows an eye on promoting tourism. Ujjain is a beautiful city with immense spiritual and historical significance.

35 medical colleges in MP is a significant number! This is real vikas. Dhar and Betul getting new colleges will improve healthcare access in those regions. Hope they also ensure adequate faculty and infrastructure.

The photo ops are nice, but as a medical student, I'm more interested in the details. What will be the seat intake? What about hostel facilities? Hope they release a proper blueprint for these colleges soon.
