Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that unveiling the grand 21-foot statue of Bharat Ratna Late Atal Bihari Vajpayee is a moment of great fortune. He remarked, “Today, on the sacred land of Ambah, a golden chapter has begun with the inauguration by Atal Smriti Sangh”, while addressing the statue unveiling ceremony in Ambah, Morena district, on Sunday. The statue, built at a cost of Rs. 31 lakh, has been installed at Jayashwar Mahadev Park.
CM Dr. Yadav informed that a gym worth Rs. 25 lakh and lighting and platform works worth Rs. 40 lakh have also been developed at the site. The statue stands on government land valued at about Rs. 200 crore. He said that under Atal Ji’s leadership, a vast road network was laid across villages. From 1956 to 2003, Madhya Pradesh had only five medical colleges, but in just the last one-and-a-half years, five new medical colleges have been established.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav added that Sandipani schools are being established at block levels to strengthen education, while new ITIs are also being opened so that local students can secure employment within their districts. In this sequence, Bhoomi-Pujan has been performed for an industrial unit at Piparsewa village with an investment of Rs. 500 crore.
