Aligarh: Seven years after the local BJP first demanded renaming the AMU after Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh, who had "donated the land" for it, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Tuesday lay the foundation stone of a new university nearby in the freedom fighter's name. Modi is scheduled to arrive in the city to lay the foundation of the Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh State University. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Monday visited the venue to oversee the preparations for the event at Lodha town, about 40 km from the district headquarter of Aligarh. Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma, who has been camping here to monitor the preparations, said that by establishing a state university in the name of Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh, the government is paying tribute to a man who devoted more than three decades of his life living in exile and fighting for India's freedom. Sharma said Mahendra Pratap was the president of India's first provisional government in exile establishing in Kabul in 1915 with the help of different Afghan tribal chiefs and heads of some governments including Japan's. After his return to India, Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh played a key role in establishing different educational institutions including a pioneering technical college at Mathura, Sharma said. The establishment of a state university in his name at Lodha has been "widely welcomed by the people of this region as it would give a major boost to education in Aligarh and surrounding districts".

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone of Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh State University in Aligarh. The university is being established by the Uttar Pradesh government in the memory and honour of Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh, the great freedom fighter, educationist and social reformer. It is being set up in a total area of over 92 acres at Lodha village and Musepur Kareem Jarouli village of Aligarh's Kol tehsil. The Yogi Adityanath government's decision to set up the university after the noted Jat figure is being politically seen as part of the ruling BJP's bid to win over the community ahead of the crucial assembly polls in the state early next year. Here are the highlights of PM Modi's address: • Seeing the new university, the new defence corridor and other development works in Aligarh, Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh would surely have been very happy. • It is the hard work and sacrifice made by such freedom fighters, that we enjoy our freedoms today. • Many of the national icons, whose contributions towards the nation had been immense was ignored and forgotten over the decades since independence by previous governments. But today, be it Raja Mahedra Pratap Singh ji or Suhel Dev ji, or many others, are been given the importance they truly deserved. • Today's generation is disconnected with such great leaders. I encourage all young people to read and know more about these leaders and their immense contribution to our freedom struggle and social reforms. ...
