Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone for a Rs 100 crore temple dedicated to Sant Ravidas in Madhya Pradesh’s Sagar district on Saturday, where he will also address a public meeting.
“Honouring prominent saints and social reformers has been a special hallmark of the work done by the Prime Minister. Driven by his vision, Sant Shiromani Gurudev Shri Ravidas ji Memorial will be constructed in an area of more than 11.25 acres and at a cost of more than Rs. 100 crores. The magnificent memorial will have an impressive art museum and gallery to showcase the life, philosophy and teachings of Sant Shiromani Gurudev Shri Ravidas ji,” the centre said in a press release.
“It has been our good fortune that we have got the opportunity to cherish and nurture the legacy of Saint Ravidas ji, who inspired a harmonious and prosperous society. During my visit to Madhya Pradesh tomorrow afternoon, I will participate in the programs related to the construction of their memorial sites in Sagar and Dhana,” the PM posted on Friday on X, earlier known as Twitter.
The PM will also lay the foundation stone for two road projects to be developed at a cost of more than Rs. 1580 crore. Additionally, Modi will dedicate the doubling of the Kota-Bina rail route to the nation, which has been developed at a cost of more than Rs. 2475 crores.
This will be PM Modi’s second visit to the state, where assembly polls are due by year-end, in just over a month.
