Dedicated to the values of Indian culture, nationalism, and organisational spirit, this place inspires us to move forward in the service of the nation.

PM Modi is on a day visit to Nagpur, where he will participate in multiple events, including laying the foundation stone of Madhav Netralaya, a state-of-the-art eye hospital. His visit comes at a crucial time, as the Bharatiya Janata Party is in the process of electing a new national president—a position that is scheduled to be vacated by the current president, J. P. Nadda, as he has been inducted into the Union Cabinet. Nadda is currently on an extended term as party president.
