Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that Jabalpur represents the confluence of culture, values, and education. It is both the land of traditions and of justice.

CM Dr. Yadav addressed a public gathering at the Mahakaushal Autonomous College auditorium during a program dedicated to the inauguration and Bhoomi Poojan of several development projects, as well as the felicitation of meritorious students and educators. He urged all educational institutions to become strong foundations of study and teaching for the nation and society.

He said that crop loans would continue to be available at zero percent interest for farmers. Remembering the valor of Queen Durgavati, Queen Avantibai, and revolutionary leaders Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and Shaheed Bhagat Singh, he said that their sacrifices will always inspire the nation.

Chief Minister Dr. Yadav performed bhoomi poojan and inaugurated development projects worth ₹28.33 crore in Jabalpur, including a new four-storied building for PM Excellence Government Mahakaushal Autonomous College. The facility includes 19 modern classrooms, laboratories, staff rooms and special provisions for ‘Divyangjan’. The energy-efficient building integrates environmental conservation and digital learning systems. Additionally, he inaugurated projects worth ₹23.28 crore and laid foundations for those worth ₹4.95 crore, including a primary health center and housing facilities.

Five teachers & academicians, 13 social workers, three institutions, five inspiring women achievers, six sportspersons and five social media influencers were also awarded in recognition of their outstanding contributions.

Chief Minister Dr. Yadav stated that India’s unique combination of youth power and technology will define its transformation by 2047. He urged young people to become tech-savvy and AI-enabled, mastering skills in artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud computing, and data analytics to stay industry-ready.

Addressing youths directly, Chief Minister Dr. Yadav spoke about initiatives such as the Swami Vivekananda Yuva Shakti Mission and ‘Seekho-Kamayo Yojana’ that provide hands-on learning and earning opportunities through industry collaboration.
