Hotel Amaltas being run only by women is a matter of pride for Madhya Pradesh – Chief Minister Dr. Yadav

Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that it is a matter of pride for Madhya Pradesh that Hotel Amaltas is being run only by women. This effort shows our resolve towards women empowerment. Other states will also take inspiration from this initiative. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav was addressing the inauguration program of the first hotel “MPT Amaltas” run by women in Pachmarhi. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that the culture of our country is a women-dominated culture. Mother has been given priority in our constellation and solar system as well. All the planets are male-dominated but Vasundhara i.e. Mother Earth is dominant. We bow down to the Earth as mother and take blessings. Similarly, in society also, the axis of the family is our mother and sisters. There are more than 200 countries in the world, but India has been given the status of mother. As soon as we say Bharat Mata, the proclamation of Jai comes automatically. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that our maternal culture and tradition is also reflected in the remembrance of Gods and Goddesses. Remembering any deity without mother is considered incomplete like Sita Ram, Radha Krishna. Mother’s name is called first and the name of the deity is called later.

Coming to Pachmarhi fills the mind with joy. Sharing the previous tenure and current experience as the Chairman of Madhya Pradesh State Tourism Development Corporation, Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that due to the efforts of everyone, there has been a record increase in the number of tourists in Madhya Pradesh. This year, around 11 crore tourists have come to the state. Madhya Pradesh tourism encompasses all dimensions like religious tourism, historical heritage based tourism, wildlife tourism etc. Therefore, a large number of tourists from the country as well as abroad are being attracted to Madhya Pradesh.

Chief Minister Dr. Yadav thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for increasing the wildlife wealth of the state and choosing Madhya Pradesh for the restoration of cheetah. He said that on Thursday itself, two cheetahs have been released in Kuno for free movement in the forest. These are not cheetahs, these are our resolve and our courage. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that God has given all kinds of fame to the land of Madhya Pradesh. The land of the state is full of all the wealth. Madhya Pradesh is a complete state in forest wealth, underground wealth and above all human wealth. Human wealth has raised the name of the state in every field.
