During the event, Yogi launched 114 development projects worth Rs 360 crore. He also attended the mass marriage ceremony of 600 couples at Sant Kabir Sthali and blessed them.

He emphasized the importance of Kabir Mahotsav as the identity of this place.
Yogi said that following the consecration of the grand temple of Shri Ram Lalla in Ayodhya, he had the privilege to inaugurate and lay the foundation stone for projects totaling Rs 360 crore in Sant Kabir Nagar.
