Lokmata Ahilyabai continues to inspire Indian society: Yogi

Lucknow, May 29 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday described the life and contributions of Devi Ahilyabai Holkar as a timeless source of inspiration for the Indian society.
After inaugurating a grand exhibition at GPO Park, Lucknow, organised under 'Punyashlok' Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Tercentenary Year Memorial Campaign 2025, the CM said that the exhibition will educate the people of UP Lokmata's significant contributions while providing an opportunity to draw inspiration from her exemplary work in promoting social harmony, national unity and public welfare.
He emphasised that the past is not merely meant to be read about but to be reflected upon and learned from. "It is our responsibility to correct historical missteps and embrace the glorious chapters of our history as ideals," he said.
Yogi said that the exhibition on the life of Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar offers a valuable opportunity for introspection. "Her nationwide vision established her as a remarkable symbol of good governance, security and public order. Her era stands as a living testament to Indian womanhood, social justice and service to the people," she said.
He said that, under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India is currently experiencing a renaissance of its cultural heritage and ancient values. He expressed satisfaction that consistent efforts are being made to bring the life and legacy of the nation's great personalities closer to the masses.
He said, "As part of this mission, UP is hosting a series of events from May 21 to 31, including seminars, essay competitions, exhibitions, drama series and folk music programs, under the 'Punyashlok' Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Janm Trishatabdi Varsh Smriti Abhiyan."
The CM said that while we may not have witnessed Lokmata Ahilyabai's era firsthand, over the past 11 years we have seen a living reflection of her ideals in the governance model of Prime Minister Modi. "From Kashi Vishwanath Dham to Kedarnath, from Muktinath in Nepal to Somnath and from Mahakal to Rameswaram, efforts to reconnect with India’s spiritual and cultural heritage are evident under Prime Minister Modi's leadership," he said.
