    Kota is the land of education: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister

    Kota,15th November 2024 : Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Dr. Mohan Yadav has called upon the students in Kota to take failures in their stride. “Students should never be disappointed, because every moment is a new life and there are new possibilities”. Decide your path and keep working honestly. Success is waiting for you on whichever path you take. Students should get adequate sleep, exercise and study by making a time table.

    Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said this during an interaction with students at Allen Career Institute Kota. In this interaction held at Allen Satyarth Campus in Jawahar Nagar, he told the students about religion, spirituality and its scientific aspects. Allen Director Rajesh Maheshwari and Dr. Naveen Maheshwari were also present in the program. He said that Kota is the land of education and I feel very good to be among the students. It seems like my old days have returned. I am feeling energy here.

    Whenever you are disappointed, look at politicians and learn
    While teaching the students, Dr. Yadav said that I am myself an example. I was selected in the pre-medical test. I got admission in Indore Medical College but I did B.Sc., then chose the field of politics. I worked very hard. Today I am in front of all of you as the Chief Minister. Whichever path of life you follow, keep confidence, success is waiting for you there. Whenever you feel that you have failed, do not get disappointed, look at a political person. There are so many ups and downs in his life.
    He said that Abraham Lincoln lost so many elections in his life, but when he won, he became the President. Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not contest any election till the age of 51, and when he contested, he became the Chief Minister; now when he contested the MP election, he became the Prime Minister. No one can tell which opportunity is waiting for you at what age. Yes, we should keep trying. Keep working hard continuously to achieve our goal. Whether it is medical entrance exam or engineering entrance exam, challenges are everywhere but we have to strive for success with full honesty.

    Should become a student like Lord Krishna

    Dr. Yadav said that students study science, so they should also be aware of the scientific view of planets and stars. He talked about becoming a student like Shri Krishna, who after a long gap in education gave Geeta sermons in the war of Mahabharata, which contains the essence of all the Vedas. If the student is learning with full dedication, then whatever he learns, will stay with him for life. He said that friends should also be like Krishna and Sudama, who have trust. They met after several years but stayed together with unwavering trust in each other.

    Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav also interacted with the students of Madhya Pradesh present in the program. He told about the agreements being made between Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh regarding tourism development.
