'Vikram Samvat' calendar not connected with birth or death of a person: MP CM Mohan Yadav

MP CM Mohan Yadav clarifies the traditional Vikram Samvat calendar is about prosperity and governance, not connected to any person's birth or death.

"We follow the 'Vikram Samvat' to shift from one year to another, which has nothing to do with death or birth of any individual. - CM Mohan Yadav"

Bhopal, Dec 20

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said on Saturday that India's traditional change of year (New Year) follows 'Vikram Samvat' calendar, which is not connected with "birth or death" of any particular person.

"We follow the 'Vikram Samvat' to shift from one year to another, which has nothing to do with death or birth of any individual. 'Vikram Samvat' represents prosperity, growth and good governance system," CM Yadav said while addressing an event organised by "Young Entrepreneurs Forum (YEF) Bharat" in Indore.

According to Hindu traditions, the day of Chaitra Pratipada, which falls between March and April is regarded as renewal, hope, and celebrations, as people across India come together to mark the start of a fresh year.

Addressing the large gathering of young entrepreneurs from across the country at the Brilliant Convention Centre in Indore, the Chief Minister said that Madhya Pradesh has witnessed all- round growth in the past two years of the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government and the 'bhoomi-pujan' of new industrial setups worth more than two lakh crore will be done between December 25 and 31.

Union Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia joined the event organised at the Brilliant Convention Centre in Indore.

The week-long event will focus on building a community of like-minded, values-driven entrepreneurs while promoting ethical, responsible, and nation-centric business practices which will accelerate India's economic growth.

Founded by entrepreneurs from Madhya Pradesh, YEF Bharat is a collective platform of disciplined, organised, and responsible entrepreneurs inspired by the spirit of national service.

More than a business forum, YEF Bharat represents a growing movement of young Indians who believe that entrepreneurship must contribute to national unity, community development, and the progress of the country.

While I appreciate the focus on Vikram Samvat, I wish the speech had spent more time on the actual challenges young entrepreneurs face, like access to credit, rather than just historical references. The industrial investment news is promising though.

This is the spirit! Vikram Samvat signifies a continuous tradition of prosperity and governance. Glad to see our leaders highlighting India's rich heritage. The focus on nation-centric business by YEF is also very encouraging for the future.

Interesting read. As someone new to India, I'm learning about all the different calendars and festivals. The idea of a New Year in spring (Chaitra) feels very natural, aligned with harvest and new beginnings.

The core message is strong - our identity shouldn't be tied to foreign timelines. But in practical life, we operate on the Gregorian calendar for everything from taxes to school years. How do we bridge this gap meaningfully?

Prosperity, growth, good governance – these are timeless values. Celebrating Ugadi/Gudi Padwa based on Vikram Samvat with family is a beautiful tradition. Hope the focus on ethical entrepreneurship translates into real support for small businesses in MP.
