Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai, while recalling the contributions of Rajmata Rani Ahilyabai Holkar in the seminar, called her a symbol of cultural unity and good governance of India. He called the nearly 30 years of rule of Rani Ahilyabai Holkar as the golden age of public welfare, nation building and justice. He said that despite being the queen of Indore, Rajmata did not limit herself to any one geographical boundary. She built temples and dharamshalas across the country. She led the Holkar dynasty for three decades, realizing the concept of Ramrajya.
Chief Minister Shri Sai described the contribution of Rani Ahilyabai Holkar in the reconstruction of Kashi Vishwanath temple as historic. In accordance with the wish of Peshwa Madhavrao, Rajmata respected the sentiments of crores of devotees by rebuilding this temple. She also took a historic decision to rebuild the Somnath temple, which became a symbol of cultural restoration of India. Shri Sai said that today Indore is leading in cleanliness in the country, the inspiration behind this is the good governance established by Rajmata. She was a lover of justice. She did not even refrain from punishing her family members for justice.
Addressing the seminar as the keynote speaker, Madhya Pradesh Panchayat and Rural Development Minister Shri Prahlad Singh Patel said that Rani Ahilyabai Holkar raised the voice of religious authority and justice during her 28-year rule from 1767 to 1795. She did many exemplary works in her life amidst all the adversities. She set examples of good use of public money and treasury during her rule. She never spent any amount of royal power on herself. Shri Patel said that Rani Ahilyabai Holkar never lived in the palace after the death of her husband. She spent her life in a hut. For justice, she sentenced her son to death. During her rule, she allowed widows to adopt sons. Due to the welfare and people-friendly works of Rani Ahilyabai Holkar, the people of her state gave her the status of Lokmata.
MLA Shri Kiran Dev and former Deputy Speaker of Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly Shri Narayan Chandel also highlighted the personality, works and characteristics of Rani Ahilyabai Holkar's reign in the seminar.
