Economic Opportunities
The Kumbh is expected to boost the local economy, creating jobs for boatmen, shopkeepers, and workers involved in managing the event. Pilgrims will also contribute to businesses in surrounding areas.
Preserving Heritage and Driving Progress
PM Modi emphasized the government’s efforts to preserve India’s traditions while ensuring development. He highlighted successful projects like the Vishwanath Dham in Varanasi and the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya as examples of blending heritage with modern facilities.
The Prime Minister praised the hard work of sanitation workers, police, and organizers, thanking them for their efforts to make the Maha Kumbh a success.
