Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav stated that Swami Vivekananda’s prophecy, “The 21st century would belong to India”, is now visibly being realised under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. India has established its credibility on every global platform, and Prime Minister Shri Modi is regarded as one of the most influential leaders in the world. India is steadily moving towards global leadership as the world’s youngest democracy, and Prime Minister Modi is effectively guiding this young democratic nation.

Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that it is a matter of pride for Madhya Pradesh that youth from across the state are studying in Delhi in an organised manner. He added that interacting with such a large number of young people from the state made his visit to Delhi truly meaningful. The Chief Minister addressed Madhyanchal Utsav-2026, organised by the ‘Madhyanchal Student Association’, the organisation of Madhya Pradesh students studying in Delhi, at the Shankarlal Auditorium of the University of Delhi on Monday. The event was inaugurated by Chief Minister Dr. Yadav by lighting the ceremonial lamp.

Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that Madhya Pradesh is among the states with the lowest unemployment rates in the country and that the state government stands with the youth at every step. Empowering youth is a top priority of the state government. He said that all necessary facilities are available in Madhya Pradesh for investment, industry and employment. The Chief Minister stated that the government’s objective is to ensure that the youth of Madhya Pradesh become job creators rather than job seekers. He said that youth should move ahead in all sectors, including agriculture, technology and healthcare, acquire skills in global innovations such as artificial intelligence, and contribute to strengthening both the state and the nation.

Chief Minister Dr. Yada, sharing details of the state’s achievements, said that the irrigated area in Madhya Pradesh has increased significantly. The state has set a target to double its budget over the next five years. He said that more medical colleges are being established under the PPP model to increase the number of doctors in the state through students qualifying for the NEET examination. He also stated that the government will provide a monthly support of ₹5,000 per worker for textile units established in the state, which will help generate employment. Special provisions to support youth have been incorporated into state government policies.

Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that Madhya Pradesh is a power-surplus state and is supplying electricity at the lowest rates through renewable energy, with tariffs as low as ₹2.10 per unit—the lowest in the country. He added that the Delhi Metro is operating on electricity supplied from Madhya Pradesh. He further stated that rapid progress is being made in the mining sector and that the state also leads in biodiversity. Shikara services have been introduced in Bhopal’s Upper Lake, and special benefits are being extended to investors and youth through the film and tourism policies. The Chief Minister congratulated the Madhyanchal Student Association for organising the event and urged students to remain united, continue positive initiatives, and play an active role in the development of the state and the country.

Addressing the event, Shri Shyam Tailor said that the pace of Madhya Pradesh’s development has doubled under the leadership of Chief Minister Dr. Yadav. He said that the river Narmada and Baba Mahakal are the identity of the state. He described Madhyanchal Utsav, organised by students studying in Delhi, as a commendable initiative reflecting the confluence of Madhya Pradesh’s art, literature, cultural values and civilisation. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that the youth of Madhya Pradesh have always worked with a spirit of cooperation and have never embraced divisive thinking.

The event was also addressed by Dr. Rekha Saxena, Head of the Department of Political Science, and Shri Anoop Lakhkar, Director of the Delhi University Cultural Council. A large number of students studying in Delhi were present at the event.
