Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav has said that the Rani Durgavati not only defeated Akbar’s army thrice but also made many innovations in the field of good governance and water management. She provided a people-oriented governance system to the region. The flyover passing through Jabalpur airport and Madan Mahal will be named after Rani Durgavati. The State Government will also try to get permission from the Government of India for a stadium in the name of Rani Durgavati in the Garha. Ponds and water structures in the area will also be renovated on priority basis as a tribute to Rani Durgavati’s bravery and valour. Chief Minister Dr Yadav said that Akbar’s era was a difficult one, on one hand Maharana Pratap was fighting with him and on the other, brave Rani Durgavati fought against Akbar’s army in Vananchal.

 

CM addressed the gathering in Jabalpur on the Balidan Divas of Rani Durgavati. He said that to familiarise the country and the world with the bravery and the innovations she made for good governance, her life will be added to the school curriculum and seminars will also be organised on these subjects. A reward of Rs 5 lakh has also been announced for bringing out the various aspects of the heroic queen. Cultural and intellectual events will also be organised every month in the State, including Jabalpur. He said that the first Cabinet was organised in Jabalpur to show respect and gratitude to Rani Durgavati in her 500th Birth Centenary year. CM Yadav said that continuous work is going on under the leadership and guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to acquaint the general public with the untouched aspects of the life struggle of personalities like the brave queen Rani Durgavati, who sacrificed her life for the respect and protection of Indian culture, civilisation, and traditions. CM said that Veerangana Rani Durgavati and Rani Avantibai Lodhi have been expressions of women power.

 

They have proved that whether it is war or governance, women did not lag. President Droupadi Murmu, from a tribal background, has made not only the country but also the world aware of the potential of Indian women. The State Government is dedicated to the welfare of the weaker sections. Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav on Monday offered prayers and paid tributes at the Samadhi site of Rani Durgavati of the Gondwana Empire, a symbol of indomitable bravery, valour and self-respect, at Narai Nala on her 461st Balidan Diwas. He garlanded the statue of the queen at the Samadhi site amidst slogans ‘Rani Durgavati Amar Rahe’. He also offered prayers to Badadev, the deity of the tribal community. CM paid floral tributes to Veeranarayan, son of Queen Durgavati, at the Samadhi site itself.
