CM Lays Foundation for Rishi Galav University in Gwalior

Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav performed the bhumi pujan for the Rs 110 crore Rishi Galav University and will attend a state-level dairy farmer convention.

In a significant push for education and animal husbandry in the Gwalior-Chambal region, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav on Monday laid the foundation stone for the Rishi Galav University in Bela village. The university, a project of the Madhya Bharat Shiksha Samiti, is set to be developed across 55 bighas of land with an estimated investment of Rs 110 crore.

Foundation laid at Bela

The Chief Minister arrived at the site located on the Shitla Mata road via Shivpuri Link Road on Monday morning. Accompanied by cabinet colleague Tulsiram Silawat and several senior BJP and RSS leaders, Dr. Yadav performed the 'Bhumi Pujan' rituals. The residential university is being positioned as a future hub for academic excellence in Northern Madhya Pradesh.

Prominent figures including Jaybhan Singh Pawaiya, MP Bharat Singh Kushwah, and former MP Vivek Narayan Shejwalkar were present during the ceremony, signaling the project's importance to the state's educational roadmap.

Focus on dairy farmers

Following the university event, the Chief Minister’s itinerary shifts toward the Mela Ground for the State-Level Milk Producer and Cattle Rearer Convention. This summit is expected to highlight the government's initiatives in the dairy sector. Dr. Yadav is scheduled to inspect an exhibition themed around 'Vrindavan Gram,' which showcases traditional and modern dairy farming techniques.

The Animal Husbandry and Dairy Minister, Lakhan Singh Patel, will join the CM to distribute benefits under various government schemes to local farmers. Sources indicate that this convention aims to strengthen the cooperative milk production network in the Gwalior division.

Health infrastructure review

Later in the afternoon, the Chief Minister is slated to inspect the ongoing construction at the Arogyadham Super Specialty Hospital in the Gola Ka Mandir area. The visit, scheduled for approximately 3:40 PM, underscores the state's focus on completing high-priority healthcare projects. Local authorities have been briefed to provide a progress report on the facility, which is expected to reduce the dependency of local residents on private hospitals in Delhi or Agra.

Tight schedule in Gwalior

The CM’s visit is packed with back-to-back engagements. After the dairy convention, he will attend a local program at Empire Resort on Shivpuri Link Road around 3:00 PM. The administrative machinery in Gwalior has been on high alert since morning to ensure smooth movement between the various venues spread across the city.

Departure for Bhopal

As per the official minute-to-minute schedule, Dr. Yadav will conclude his Gwalior tour by late afternoon. After reviewing the super-specialty hospital, he will head directly to the Gwalior airport. He is expected to depart for the state capital, Bhopal, via a special flight at approximately 4:15 PM.
