Chief Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that there is an atmosphere of joy in Madhya Pradesh on Monday on the occasion of the 17th Pravasi Bharatiya Divas convention.

The people of Indore have opened the doors of their hearts and homes to welcome the NRIs. Many citizens came forward with open hearts to host the guests in their homes.

The guests have been given a memorable hospitality. To make Pravasi Bharatiya Divas memorable, people from 66 nations came to plant saplings at the NAMO Global Garden in Indore. This is commendable work.

Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that Prime Minister Shri Modi has made constant efforts for a strong and prosperous India. Prime Minister Shri Modi has given mantras of self-reliance, cleanliness and strong economy. His mantra is being implemented on the ground in Madhya Pradesh. Indore has accepted his call for cleanliness in such a way that every citizen picked up a broom for cleanliness. Indore has become the cleanest city of the country not once or twice, but six times.

Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that the Prime Minister has understood and implemented knowledge, self-reliance. As citizens, everyone should be co-operative in this. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that today one remembers the words of Swami Vivekananda, when he had said a hundred years ago that the end of Mahanisha is near. Now Bharat Mata is moving forward to lead the world. The words of one Narendra ji (Swami Vivekananda) are being implemented by another Narendra (Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi). They talk about giving the message of love and peace to the world. Only Modi ji can do such work. When there was a war between Russia and Ukraine, Indian students raised the tricolour, Modi ji found a way out. Students came back to India safely. Modi ji has also found a way for everyone’s happiness and prosperity. India has come forward in a leadership role in the world. They rule the hearts.
