Auraiya Medical College to be Named After Ahilyabai Holkar, Announces CM Yogi Adityanath

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has announced that the Government Medical College in Auraiya will be named after Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar. The announcement was made during his visit to a national seminar held on Thursday.

He said, “There was a degree college in Auraiya named after Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar. The Samajwadi Party government had changed the name of that degree college. Today, I am happy to announce that in the same Auraiya, we will name the Government Medical College after Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar.”

The announcement was part of a broader set of activities attended by the Chief Minister in Lucknow. Earlier in the day, he inaugurated the National Seminar-2025 on ‘Harmony with Nature and Sustainable Development’. Speaking at the seminar, CM Yogi stressed the importance of collective responsibility in achieving India’s net zero carbon emissions target by 2070, a goal earlier outlined by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi assured the world that India will achieve the target of net zero by 2070. But the task of achieving this target is not just at the government level but through the collective efforts of all of us,” he said.

The Chief Minister also addressed the need for balance between development and environmental conservation, stating that the national seminar aimed to promote ways to live in harmony with nature.

Separately, in view of recent weather disturbances, including storms, rainfall, and hailstorms, CM Yogi directed district officials to carry out relief work without delay. He instructed them to visit affected areas, carry out detailed surveys, and ensure that support reaches affected families in time.
