Besides the event marking the 45th anniversary of The Art of Living, PM Modi will also participate in the 70th birthday celebrations of the social organisation’s founder, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. He is slated to attend the celebrations at around 11 am.
“Prime Minister will also inaugurate the newly constructed Dhyan Mandir at the Art of Living International Centre in Bengaluru, a dedicated meditation hall envisioned as a space for inner peace and holistic well-being,” the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said in an official release.
PM Modi’s itinerary also includes launching the nationwide service initiatives of the Art of Living, encompassing year-long projects focused on mental well-being, rural development, nature conservation and social transformation, the communique added.
MEETING WITH ANDHRA CM?
The Prime Minister is likely to visit the residences of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and his deputy, Pawan Kalyan, in Hyderabad, said sources cited by news agency PTI.
Notably, Pawan Kalyan underwent a surgical procedure last month following a health complication and is currently recovering at his home in the city. PM Modi is scheduled to arrive in Hyderabad at around 3 pm.
On Saturday, he criticised Telangana’s Congress government as he shared details of his upcoming visit to Hyderabad and Bengaluru. In a post on X, PM Modi wrote, “Fed up of the BRS misrule earlier and the Congress misrule now, Telangana is looking towards the BJP. Our rising support indicates our Party is Telangana’s preferred choice!”
PROJECTS TO BE UNVEILED
At the Hyderabad International Convention Centre, the developmental projects for which PM Modi is set to lay the foundation stones include the four-laning of Hyderabad-Panaji Economic Corridor and Zaheerabad Industrial Area.
“Envisioned as a smart integrated industrial township, the Zaheerabad Industrial Area will feature advanced and sustainable infrastructure and support next-generation industries,” the PMO said.
PM Modi will also virtually inaugurate various sections of Kazipet-Vijayawada multi-tracking project of railways, Greenfield POL (Petroleum, Oil, Lubricants) Terminal in Hyderabad and PM MITRA Park at Warangal, according to his office.
He is also slated to participate in a programme to dedicate the Sindhu Hospital to the nation. It is a “state-of-the-art, cancer-focused multi-super speciality quaternary care not-for-profit institution,” the PMO said.
