Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh – Panchjanya, a leading Indian weekly magazine initiated by Late Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya and whose founding editor was Late Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, former Prime Minister of India, successfully organized Madhya Pradesh Sushasan Samvad 2.0, the second round of Good Governance Dialogue, taking inspiration from Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar, at Kushabhau Thakre Hall, Bhopal. The event witnessed the esteemed presence of Dr. Mohan Yadav, Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh; Shri Hemant Muktabodh ji, RSS Madhya Kshetra Sah-Karyawah; Smt. Sampatiya Uikey, Minister of Public Health Engineering; Shri Hitesh Shankar, Editor, Panchjanya; Shri Abhishek Garg, Managing Director, DBG Technology and Winsharp Electronics; Dr. Praveen Kumar Reddy, Director, Swami Vivekananda Health Mission Society; and Shri Vijay Manohar Tiwari, Vice Chancellor, Makhanlal Chaturvedi University, among other dignitaries.
During his speech chief guest, Dr. Mohan Yadav, Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, stated, “We have resolved the water dispute between Rajasthan and our state. Madhya Pradesh is the maika of the rivers, and we clearly said that if Rajasthan needs a little more water, we have no objection. We are celebrating Gita Jayanti in the state and are also constructing a Gita Bhavan. Further stating, he added, “That it is not necessary to enjoy Kashmir’s Dal Lake, one should enjoy the lake in Bhopal. The identity of the state capital should be connected with the culture of the country.”
The event commenced with a traditional lamp-lighting ceremony led by Shri Hitesh Shankar, Editor at Panchjanya, who opened the day by outlining the programme’s agenda and purpose. A series of insightful sessions followed, centered on India’s and Madhya Pradesh’s cultural heritage, development, governance models, health sector reforms, and emerging national challenges. A heartfelt tribute was also paid to the victims of the Delhi blast, honouring their memory with deep respect. A one-minute silence was observed to offer prayers to all the victims.
Shri Hitesh Shankar added, “Media conclaves often follow a familiar pattern, yet Sushasan Samvad stands apart with its own distinct identity. Panchjanya, as we know, carries the name of Lord Krishna’s divine conch. In the Mahabharata, Panchjanya symbolised the call of truth, and in the world of media, every such clarion call becomes a powerful proclamation. In this journey of Panchjanya, many individuals have dedicated their lives, raised important issues, and carried forward meaningful causes. With their spirit guiding us, we at Panchjanya continue our work with commitment. This journey is not a sprint; it is a relay race; one where every baton passed carries a legacy of truth, responsibility, and courage.”
In the first session, ‘Sang Samvad’, while speaking with senior journalist Anurag Punetha on the subject, guest speaker RSS Madhya Kshetra Sah-Karyawah Hemant Muktabodh ji said, “Across the world, various narratives are being spread about Hindus. But the narrative of a Hindu Rashtra was initiated 100 years ago by the RSS founder, Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar. The Sangh considers every person a Hindu who respects this culture, its values, and the nation, regardless of their form of worship, sect, or religion.”
A notable keynote session titled ‘Jan Swasth’ featured an impactful address by Smt. Sampatiya Uikey, Minister of Public Health Engineering. The session was moderated by Consulting Editor Tripti Shrivastava. The discussion highlighted the importance of strengthening public health infrastructure, ensuring clean drinking water access, and enabling preventive health systems for a stronger Madhya Pradesh. She shed light on how integrated governance and community participation can create sustainable health outcomes.
The subsequent session, ‘Swasth’, welcomed Dr. Praveen Kumar Reddy, Director, Swami Vivekananda Health Mission Society, who spoke on laying the groundwork for a ‘New India’ rooted in accessible, affordable, and rural-inclusive healthcare. Dr. Reddy shed light on the subject and said, “We have lost Ayurveda and our Indian knowledge traditions over the past 500–600 years. To reclaim them, deep research is essential. We need to embrace Ayurveda again with complete confidence.”
In the 4th session, “Swadeshi Sankalp”, when DBG Technology and Winsharp Electronics Managing Director Abhishek Garg was asked about the tariffs imposed by Trump, he shared that true globalization should mean open borders, not selective restrictions. India has the world’s largest skilled and young workforce, yet tariffs are imposed simply because companies are not American.
In its fifth session, on ‘How to Encounter Fake News’ was with Shri Vijay Manohar Tiwari Ji, Vice Chancellor, Makhanlal Chaturvedi University. He highlighted the challenges of digital media from 300 fake videos going viral during Operation Sindoor to the misuse of 25 unrelated videos in the Bihar elections.
Overall, the event was an indigenous initiative in shaping the nation’s future, serving as a meaningful platform for dialogue on India’s cultural identity, governance priorities, public health advancements, and the spirit of Swadeshi Bharat.
