Bhopal (Madhya Pardesh): The state government is paying attention to projects meant to develop Ram Van Gaman Path and places associated with the Lord Krishna. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav is himself closely monitoring the projects which would help to revive the places and get them on pilgrimage routes. Government is going to make financial provisions in the upcoming budget under the aforesaid heads.
Sources in the culture department said that the discussion in connection with aforesaid projects is taking place at a high level. The things related with projects are likely to gain momentum once Lok Sabha Model Code of Conduct is lifted.
As of now, internal meetings are taking place. Many things have almost become clear about which places need to be developed under Ram Van Gaman Path. Already, 23 places have been identified which are associated with Lord Ram. These places are situated in Umaria, Shahdol, Satna, Maihar, Anuppur, Panna, Katni and Narmadapuram.
Lord Ram had spent most of his exile time in Chitrakoot. However, contemplation is being done to know the places which are connected with the life of Lord Krishna. Everyone knows that Krishna came to Ujjain for studies but besides Ujjain, there may be the places which may have been frequented by Lord Krishna.
Efforts are being made to gain knowledge about such places as well. The sources added that there is a budget ceiling of Rs 250 crore for implementation of the schemes but the government may go ahead making additional spending for it under the new heads. So there will be no paucity of funds in the development of these religious destinations .
