Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav stated that the historic theatrical production Samrat Vikramaditya, staged at the Red Fort in the national capital, is an effort to bring that golden era to life. This endeavor will significantly contribute to showcasing India’s legacy of good governance and democratic values to the world.

Theatrical Art is Ancient and Still Relevant Today

Dr. Yadav noted that theatre is an ancient form of art that still holds significance in the modern digital age.
