Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav participated in the cleaning of the Ramghat on the banks of the Kshipra River in Ujjain, as part of the Jal Ganga Samvardhan Abhiyan. He personally stepped into the river and helped clean the ghats. Following the cleanup, he took a dip in the Kshipra and offered prayers to Maa Kshipra, seeking her blessings.
Dr. Yadav stated that the Jal Ganga Samvardhan Abhiyan is a special initiative aimed at reviving Madhya Pradesh’s ancient and historical water sources. The campaign is also focused on restoring the flow of rivers. For example, the origin point of the Betwa River near Bhopal has already been rejuvenated. A key objective of this mission is the revival of traditional water structures such as stepwells, wells, ponds, and other water bodies.
The Chief Minister highlighted that Maa Narmada is the only river in the country, and perhaps the world, that is circumambulated (parikrama). The Madhya Pradesh government is working to develop the Narmada Parikrama route with proper infrastructure and facilities for pilgrims. Similarly, 29 kilometers of new ghats are being developed along the Kshipra River to support pilgrims undertaking the Kshipra Parikrama.
