Addressing a large public gathering in Dudhakhedi village of Mandsaur district, Dr. Yadav inaugurated and laid foundation stones for development projects worth over Rs. 400 crore.

Dr. Yadav said that the Garoth-Bhanpura region is undergoing historic development and is now being connected to the rest of the country through the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway and other new routes. The construction of the Ujjain-Garoth road has further strengthened ancient ties between Ujjain and this region. Tourism is also being promoted, and soon, cheetahs will be visible running in the area.

The Chief Minister highlighted the spiritual and historical importance of the Garoth-Bhanpura region, mentioning the religious seat established by Shankaracharya Ji in Bhanpura and referring to the contributions of Shankaracharya Shri Satyamitranand Ji Maharaj. He also shared that sites associated with Lord Shri Krishna’s divine plays (leelas) are being developed as pilgrimage destinations, with Gita Bhavans being constructed across the state, including one in Garoth-Bhanpura. Under the Kamdhenu Scheme, milk production is being promoted.

Dr. Yadav emphasised that under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, development is being carried out for every sector and every section of society. He assured the public that he would continue to visit the region and bring more developmental projects.

The government is also working to fulfil the vision of former Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s “River Linking” dream.
