MP: Prime Minister Modi pays floral tribute to Ahilyabai Holkar in Bhopal
Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India], May 31 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday paid floral tribute to Ahilyabai Holkar during the 'Lokmata Devi Ahilyabai Mahila Sashaktikaran Mahasammelan' programme, at Jamburi Maidan in Bhopal. Earlier, PM Modi attended an exhibition in Bhopal that chronicles Ahilyabai Holkar's life, works, and contributions to Indian society and culture. He was also felicitated at the 'Lokmata Devi Ahilyabai Mahila Sashaktikaran Mahasammelan' programme. Ahilyabai is remembered for her people-centric policies and deep commitment to economic and socio-cultural issues, especially those that affected the lives of women. She encouraged women's education and participation in the social and religious life of the local community. She also supported and encouraged women weavers to make Maheshwari sarees. Her contributions were wide-ranging, from infrastructure development (water bodies, roads, dharamshalas) to the reconstruction and revival of temples across the length and breadth of the land. The edifices she created have not only left an indelible mark on India's cultural and spiritual landscape but also stood the test of time.
