Atal Bihari Vajpayee: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will spearhead the nationwide celebrations marking the 100th birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, with Madhya Pradesh taking center stage. Observed as 'Good Governance Day,' the occasion will highlight Vajpayee's enduring legacy through events across the state, culminating in significant announcements and initiatives by PM Modi.

Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s Legacy Honored Across Madhya Pradesh

To celebrate Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s centenary, the Madhya Pradesh BJP has planned statewide programs involving local citizens and party supporters. Each district and block office will host events, with a major exhibition at the BJP headquarters in Bhopal. The exhibition will showcase Vajpayee’s journey—from his early years to his role in the BJP’s rise as a political powerhouse.

PM Modi to Launch Key Projects in Chhatarpur

The centerpiece of the celebrations will be held in Chhatarpur, where PM Modi will lay the foundation stone for the Ken-Betwa River Linking Project. This ambitious initiative, the first of its kind under the national perspective plan, aims to provide irrigation facilities to multiple districts in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, improving the lives of countless farming families. It will also ensure better access to drinking water for residents of the region.

Commemorative Stamp and Coin

In honor of Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s legacy, PM Modi will release a special commemorative stamp and coin. This tribute underscores Vajpayee’s lasting contributions to India’s growth and his connection to his home state, Madhya Pradesh, where he was born in Gwalior on December 25, 1924.

Floating Solar Project Inauguration by PM Modi

As part of the festivities, PM Modi will inaugurate a floating solar project at Omkareshwar in Madhya Pradesh’s Khandwa district. This innovative project aligns with the government’s mission of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2070 and represents a crucial step toward sustainable energy solutions.

Madhya Pradesh: The Cradle of Vajpayee’s Political Journey

Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s political career was deeply rooted in Madhya Pradesh. Representing the state in the Lok Sabha twice (from Gwalior in 1971 and Vidisha in 1991), he left a significant mark on the region and its people. His vision and leadership continue to inspire generations, even after his demise on August 16, 2018.
