The event marked a significant milestone in the region’s progress under the state government’s development and trust-driven approach.
Encouraging Agriculture-Based Industries and Farmer Welfare

Additionally, employment-oriented factories linked to agriculture would be established, where workers will receive a monthly wage of Rs 5,000.
Highlighting efforts to improve rural infrastructure, he also promised the construction of a cowshed in Gadarwara and easy transport services for the people.
Saluting Prime Minister Modi’s Leadership and National Achievements
The Chief Minister praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 11 years of governance, noting the country’s rise on the global stage. He cited key national milestones, including the passing and smooth implementation of the triple talaq law, the abrogation of Article 370, the country’s united response to the Pahalgam incident, and the consecration of Lord Shri Ram in Ayodhya.
