Madhya Pradesh's Chief Minister, Dr. Mohan Yadav, has announced extensive preparations for the religious gathering of Simhastha 2028 in Ujjain, including the establishment of an advanced training center and increased participation of Bharat Scouts and Guides.
Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav addressed a seminar on Simhastha 2028 service activities at his residence on Wednesday. He emphasized the importance of the event, stating that it is one of the world's largest religious gatherings and a celebration of India’s spiritual consciousness, culture, and faith. To ensure no inconvenience for devotees, extensive preparations with full capacity and participation are required.
Dr. Yadav also announced plans to establish an advanced training center in Bhopal for the systematic training of master trainers, Sevaduts, and volunteers responsible for crowd management and other services during Simhastha. Until the center becomes operational, Sandipani School buildings and campuses will be used for training as required.
The Chief Minister highlighted that service is the core principle of Bharat Scouts and Guides, with 'Be Prepared' being its motto. He praised the organization's global reputation and commended its work during Simhastha in Ujjain over the past 15 years. He expressed commitment to ensuring a safe and well-organized Simhastha and mentioned that it will serve as a test of management capabilities and good governance.
In addition, Dr. Yadav stated that Bharat Scouts and Guides have set exemplary examples of service during the five Simhasthas held after Independence. He pointed out that crowd management would be the biggest challenge during Simhastha 2028, with more than 40 crore devotees expected to visit Ujjain. To address this, he mentioned that over 15,000 trained volunteers will lead service efforts through over 20 camps.
School Education and Transport Minister Shri Uday Pratap Singh discussed the increased religious tourism in Ujjain following the development of Shri Mahakal Lok and emphasized the need for Bharat Scouts and Guides to be fully prepared for their service responsibilities during Simhastha. He also stressed the importance of training Scouts and Guides to counter rumors spread through the internet and social media.
