CM installs Brahma Dhwaj
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav installed the Brahma Dhwaj and said that it inspires us to remain united and serve the nation and the state. Highlighting the vision and essence of Vikramotsav-2026, he said that Samrat Vikramaditya, through his governance, laid the foundation for transforming monarchical rule into a more people-centric democratic system. His leadership and administrative style inspired future rulers to adopt welfare-oriented governance.
Remembering Samrat Vikramaditya even after two thousand years reflects the commitment of both the Central and State Governments to adopt and uphold his model of governance.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav further said that Samrat Vikramaditya promoted democratic values, which now flow through Indians like blood and have become a defining aspect of our identity.
Play based on Samrat Vikramaditya staged
A play based on Samrat Vikramaditya was also staged during the event. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav felicitated the artists. A large number of citizens, and school students were present on the occasion.
