Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has emphasised the importance of connecting the present and future generations with their glorious past and offering them a living experience of India’s rich cultural consciousness. He stated that the cultural gateways being constructed at the main entry points of cities in memory of great personalities will play a significant role in this direction.

Bhopal will serve as an expression of region’s diverse culture and history: CM
CM noted that as the capital of Madhya Pradesh, Bhopal will serve as an expression of the region’s diverse culture and history. The nine grand gateways to be built on Bhopal’s major entry roads will depict significant historical and cultural references, including key pilgrimage sites along the banks of the River Narmada. He cited the Mahamrityunjay Dwar in Ujjain, which artistically presents the city's rich history and milestones across different eras.
Urban Development and Housing Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya stated that under the leadership of Chief Minister Dr. Yadav, Madhya Pradesh, is not only striving for self-reliance as a state but also aiming to make municipal corporations and councils self-sufficient. The establishment of a solar power plant by Bhopal Municipal Corporation in Neemuch is a strong step in that direction.
Bhopal Mayor, Smt. Malti Rai informed that the “Bhoj-Narmada Dwar” will be constructed at a cost of Rs 5 crore. She added that electricity generated from the solar panels installed in Neemuch will be utilised for operating Bhopal’s water supply system.
