Bhopal: Chief minister Mohan Yadav on Tuesday announced that the state govt will develop a grand Saraswati Lok at the Bhojshala complex in Dhar and establish a Raja Bhoj Research Institute in the city to revive its historic legacy as a centre of learning and scholarship.

He also announced financial assistance of Rs 5 lakh each for the nearest family members of three Bhojshala movement martyrs--late Bansingh, Antarsingh and Lakshman Singh.




The CM urged ministers to encourage people in their respective constituencies to submit suggestions on the proposed Uniform Civil Code (UCC) through the dedicated govt website. He noted that June 15, 2026, has been set as the deadline for receiving public feedback.
