CM Dr. Yadav : ‘MPT Amaltas’ is the first hotel run by women
- Our country’s culture is women-dominated
CM Dr. Yadav has said that it is a matter of pride for Madhya Pradesh that Hotel Amaltas is being run only by women. This effort reflects our resolve toward the empowerment of women. Other states will also take inspiration from this initiative. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav was addressing the inauguration programme of ‘MPT Amaltas’ the first hotel run by women in Pachmarhi.
CM Dr. Yadav said that the culture of our country is women-oriented. Mother has been given priority in our constellation and solar system also. All the planets are male-dominant but Vasundhara i.e. Mother Earth is dominant. We worship the earth as our mother and seek its blessings. Similarly, in society also the backbone of the family is our mother and sisters. There are more than 200 countries in the world, but India has been given the place of mother. As soon as anyone says Bharat Mata, the slogan of Jai automatically comes. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that our maternal culture and tradition is also reflected in the remembrance of Gods and Goddesses. Remembering any deity without Mata is considered incomplete like Sita Ram, Radhe Krishna. The name of Devi comes first followed by the name of Dev.
