Khargone (Madhya Pradesh): In a significant development for education and infrastructure, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, on Thursday, unveiled his vision for a progressive state in Khargone.

Addressing a gathering at the PG College in Khargone, where he inaugurated the satellite campus of Krantisurya Tantya Bhil University, CM Yadav reminisced about his education in government schools and colleges, highlighting the challenges faced by students when schools were far away.
The CM drew parallels with historical figures like Tantya Mama, who fought against the British and announced plans to ease the travel for students by running buses to colleges, including agriculture colleges in Guna and Khargone.
The ceremony also marked the unveiling of Krantiveer Tatyatope University in Guna through video conferencing. A short film showcasing the education department's work under the new education policy was screened.
