Soon after, at 10:45 AM, the Prime Minister will inaugurate "Shanti Shikhar" — a snazzy new center by the Brahma Kumaris for peace, meditation, and spiritual learning. The energy will rise as he unveils a statue of the legendary Bharat Ratna and former Prime Minister, Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji, outside the new Chhattisgarh Vidhansabha building at 11:45 AM.

The afternoon brings more thrills! At 1:30 PM, the PM will inaugurate the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Memorial & Tribal Freedom Fighters Museum, a proud tribute to the fierce tribal warriors of Chhattisgarh.

The festivity peaks with the Chhattisgarh Rajat Mahotsav at 2:30 PM, marking 25 glorious years of the state. Here, PM Modi will lay the foundation for transformative projects worth over ₹14,260 crore. These cover roads, industry, healthcare, and energy, promising to boost the local economy and improve lives. Rural India gets a special boost as Modi inaugurates 12 New Start-Up Village Entrepreneurship Program blocks in nine districts, helping villagers build their futures. Housing dreams come true too, with the Griha Pravesh event celebrating 3.51 lakh completed houses, and release of ₹1,200 crore under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana for over 3 lakh beneficiaries. Transport fans, listen up! PM Modi will lay the foundation stone for a four-lane greenfield highway costing ₹3,150 crore, linking key industrial and coal zones from Pathalgaon-Kunkuri to the Chhattisgarh-Jharkhand border. Plus, major road upgrades are set for Bastar and Narayanpur, improving connectivity for tribal and remote communities. The energy sector sparkles with new projects worth ₹3,750 crore aimed at boosting power supply and grid stability. The grand Inter-Regional ER-WR Interconnection Project will increase power transfer capacity by 1,600 MW, making electricity more reliable across regions.
