Hey there, Pune folks! Get ready for a historic day as Prime Minister Narendra Modi is all set to lay the foundation stone for the Bhidewada Memorial on August 16. This memorial will be located at the iconic Bhidewada site, where Mahatma Jotiba Phule and Savitribai Phule established India’s first school for girls.
But wait, there’s more to this event than just a ceremonial stone laying. It will also mark the beginning of the election campaign for the ruling coalition ahead of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly elections. Along with the memorial, the Prime Minister will inaugurate and lay the foundation for several major infrastructure projects in Pune, including underground metro lines and extensions to existing metro routes.
The Bhidewada Memorial project has been a long time coming, with legal disputes causing delays in its construction. However, the Pune Municipal Corporation has finally taken possession of the site after demolishing the old structure. The memorial is expected to cost ₹7.26 crore and will feature a design that reflects its historical and cultural significance, as well as facilities dedicated to women’s empowerment.
So mark your calendars, Puneites, and get ready to witness the unveiling of a tribute to the Phule duo that will not only honor their legacy but also serve as a beacon of education and inspiration for generations to come. It’s a day you won’t want to miss!
