She added that Ahilyabai’s leadership was rooted in Indian cultural values, and her ideals of justice, inclusivity, and development continue to serve as guiding principles for modern governance. “The upcoming programmes aim to educate party workers and the general public about these enduring values, which also resonate with the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has consistently emphasized Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas.”
