Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is realizing the vision of "Development from Heritage" through India's knowledge tradition. After Lord Shri Ram, the governance of Samrat Vikramaditya stands as an exemplary model of good governance. The various programs being organized across the country, including Madhya Pradesh, under Vikramotsav are a remarkable effort to inspire people by highlighting different aspects of Samrat Vikramaditya’s life and administration.
A grand event focused on Samrat Vikramaditya will take place in New Delhi on April 12-13-14, 2025. President Droupadi Murmu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Union Home Minister Amit Shah have been invited to participate. CM Dr. Yadav expressed these views in a media message issued from New Delhi regarding Vikramotsav.
Dr. Yadav highlighted that Samrat Vikramaditya is remembered with great respect not only in India but worldwide for his sense of justice, wisdom, patience, valour, perseverance, bravery, and depth of thought. Over 2082 years ago, he defeated foreign invaders and established the Vikram Samvat calendar. He ensured good governance by appointing 32 competent ministers, which led to his throne being known as "Simhasan Battisi". Samrat Vikramaditya also introduced a democratic governance system by forming a council of nine ministers (Navratnas), whose collective decisions were implemented instead of unilateral rule by the king. Many modern-day governance principles trace their roots back to his era.
