Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi inaugurates Lucknow exhibition for Ahilyabai Holkar's 300th birth anniversary.

"Prime Minister Modi has connected the nation with a new jewel from India's past. - CM Yogi Adityanath"

Lucknow, May 29

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday inaugurated a grand exhibition in Lucknow, organised under the 'Punyashlok' Pujya Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Tricentenary Year Memorial Campaign-2025.

The Chief Minister described the life and contributions of Devi Ahilyabai Holkar to mark her birth anniversary.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi has connected the entire nation with a new jewel from India's glorious past through this exhibition dedicated to Pujya Devi Ahilyabai Holkar. With the intent that more and more people can visit and pay their respects to such a revered Lok Mata, this exhibition has been organised not just here, but at every district headquarters, said CM Adityanath.

Chief Minister Yogi said that the grand initiative will inspire the entire state and serve as a significant milestone in our collective journey toward national integration and innovative societal efforts.

Earlier, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath expressed happiness that a Government Medical College in Auraiya would be named after Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar.

The UP chief minister slammed the previous Samajwadi Party state government for renaming a degree college in Auraiya.

"There was a degree college in Auraiya named after Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar. The Samajwadi Party government had changed the name of that degree college. Today, I am happy to announce that in the same Auraiya, we will name the Government Medical College after Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar", CM Yogi said.

Last week, CM Yogi Adityanath inaugurated the National Seminar-2025 on 'Harmony with Nature and Sustainable Development' on Thursday.

The CM stated that achieving the country's goal of net zero by 2070 could not be fulfilled solely by the government but required the collective efforts of everyone.

Devi Ahilyabai Holkar was born on 31 May 1725 in a Maratha Hindu family in the village of Chaundi, now in Maharashtra's Ahmednagar district. This year marks her 300th birth anniversary.

Great initiative by CM Yogi! Ahilyabai Holkar was truly a visionary leader who built temples, ghats, and promoted dharma across India. This exhibition will inspire our youth to learn about her administrative skills and devotion to public welfare. 👏

While honoring historical figures is important, I wish the government would also focus more on current women's empowerment issues in UP. Ahilyabai's legacy is about action, not just exhibitions. More scholarships in her name would be practical tribute.

Naming the medical college after Ahilyabai is a brilliant move! She was known for her public welfare works, and what better way to honor her than through healthcare education. Hope they maintain the college standards though - naming is just the first step.

As a history teacher, I'm delighted to see our young generation getting exposure to such inspirational figures. Ahilyabai's rule proves women have always been capable administrators in India. Should be included in school textbooks more prominently!

Why is everything becoming political? First SP changes name, now BJP changes it back. Instead of this naamkaran politics, just focus on improving education quality. A good college by any name is better than a bad one with great namesake.

The exhibition should highlight how Ahilyabai Holkar managed administration AND maintained religious harmony. That's the lesson we need today! Planning to take my daughters this weekend. Hope it's not just photos but interactive displays too 🤞
