The state government will also try to get permission from the Government of India for a stadium in the name of Rani Durgavati in the Garh. Ponds and water structures in the area will also be renovated on priority basis as a tribute to her bravery and valour.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that Akbar’s era was a difficult one, on one hand Maharana Pratap was fighting with him and on the other hand, the brave Rani Durgavati fought against Akbar’s army in Vananchal.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav addressed the program organized in Jabalpur on the Balidan Divas of Rani Durgavati.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that to familiarize the country and the world with the bravery and the innovations she made for good governance, her life will be added to the school curriculum and seminars will also be organized on these subjects.
A reward of Rs 5 lakh has also been announced for bringing out the various aspects of the heroic queen.
Cultural and intellectual events will also be organized every month in the state including Jabalpur.

Continuous work is going on under the leadership and guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to acquaint the general public with the untouched aspects of the life struggle of personalities like the brave queen Rani Durgavati, who sacrificed her life for the respect and protection of Indian culture, civilization, and traditions.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that Veerangana Rani Durgavati and Rani Avantibai Lodhi have been expressions of women power.
They have proved that whether it is war or governance, women did not lag. President Draupadi Murmu, from a tribal background, has made not only the country but the world aware of the potential of Indian women.
