Khargone (Madhya Pradesh): Chief Minister Mohan Yadav inaugurated the Ram Darbar temple at Abhyuday University in Khargone on Saturday and planted a sapling to mark the occasion.
During his address, CM Yadav urged students to draw inspiration from Lord Ram's life and learn values of helping the poor, supporting friends, and loving nature.
Speaking about Lord Ram's teachings, the CM said that even with limited resources, the biggest battles can be won through strategy and intelligence.
He highlighted how Lord Ram's most important life chapter began when Maharishi Vishwamitra sought his help to fight demons, leading him to learn life lessons in the forest under the guru's guidance.
He mentioned his role as Higher Education Minister in establishing Abhyudaya University in the tribal Nimar region, making it the district's second university after Tantya Mama University. He praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the best example of achieving success despite humble beginnings.
The CM announced new opportunities for Nimar's cotton industry following his recent trip to Spain and Dubai. He said the region will now produce threads and ready-made garments, moving beyond just fiber exports. Food processing industries are being established for Khargone's chilli with government incentives in electricity, water and land.
For milk production promotion, the state provides ₹10 lakh subsidy on ₹40 lakh for over 25 cows. Madhya Pradesh currently produces 9 per cent of India's milk, with plans to increase this to 20 per cent. The Kamdhenu scheme promotes cowsheds with a grant of ₹40 per cow, and cow-ambulance services have started.
University founder Swapnil Kothari credited Chief Minister Dr Yadav's inspiration for establishing Abhyudaya University. Kothari recalled that five years ago, as Higher Education Minister, Dr Yadav had proposed opening a university in the tribal area.
The CM inaugurated the campus by ribbon-cutting and lamp lighting. He dedicated the Ram Darbar temple amid mantra chanting and planted a mango tree on campus.
