Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that, by the grace of Maa Saraswati, a new chapter in education is being written in Sagar today. Gyanveer University, as a modern temple of learning, will take the potential and aspirations of the youth of Bundelkhand to new heights.
The Chief Minister expressed gratitude to Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Protection Minister Govind Singh Rajput for this initiative. He said that ‘Gyanveer’ is not merely the name of a university, but a son’s tribute to his parents. Minister Rajput has dedicated the institution to his revered mother Gyanbai, taking the word Gyan, and to his respected father Veer Singh, taking the word Veer. CM said the university would open new doors of opportunity for the youth of Bundelkhand. He also called upon young people to master skills and technology to keep pace with changing times.
MOOT COURT
CM inaugurated the newly constructed campus of Gyanveer University and reviewed its academic facilities. A major attraction was the Moot Court designed for law students. A moot court is a simulated judicial proceeding in which law students argue hypothetical legal cases in a manner similar to real court proceedings. Its purpose is to familiarise students with courtroom procedures, develop legal reasoning and advocacy skills, and provide practical experience in litigation and legal documentation.
CM interacted with the students and appreciated the Moot Court initiative. He said that, along with theoretical knowledge, practical experience is essential for preparing competent advocates and jurists.
TRADITIONAL CUISINE OF BUNDELKHAND
CM appreciated the traditional cuisine of Bundelkhand and described it as beneficial for health. He particularly praised dishes made from millets, a traditional staple of the region. He said that rotis made from jowar, bajra and maize not only provide energy but also represent the pride of India’s ancient dietary traditions.
CM Mohan Yadav’s meal featured a variety of traditional Bundelkhandi dishes, including methi and gram greens, kadhi pakoda, dahi bade, bijora, kachariya, bari curry, the famous maheri, khichla, papad, mangodi, Gujarati savouries, chironji barfi, mango & lemon pickle and refreshing mango panna.
CM Mohan Yadav said that Bundeli cuisine is not only rich in taste but also highly beneficial for digestion. Millets such as jowar and bajra form the foundation of good health. Promoting local cuisine strengthens the spirit of ‘Vocal for Local’. These dishes reflect the rich cultural heritage and hospitality of Bundelkhand.
