Lucknow: The Yogi government is gearing up to commemorate the birth centenary of former Prime Minister and Bharat Ratna, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, with a grand week-long cel-ebration. Atal Shatabdi Samaroh will run from December 19 to 25, featuring exhibi-tions, cultural programs, and tributes to the revered leader.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will inaugurate the centenary celebrations on Thurs-day at the Sant Gadge Ji Maharaj Auditorium, Sangeet Natak Academy.
Organised jointly by the Department of Culture and the Department of Higher Educa-tion, the event will include activities such as exhibitions, cultural programs, and poet-ry recitations. Winners of these events will be honoured on December 25, the con-cluding day of the festivities. As part of the celebrations, exhibitions will be organized by the UP State Archives and the State Lalit Kala Academy. Dr. Shraddha Shukla, Director of the Lalit Kala Academy, stated that the exhibition will showcase various aspects of Atal Ji’s life, in-cluding his roles as an ideal poet, critic, efficient administrator, exemplary politician, and steadfast Prime Minister.
The aim is to inspire both the present and future gen-erations through his remarkable personality.

Under the ‘Ek Bharat-Shrestha Bharat’ initiative, Uttar Pradesh will have MoUs with states like Manipur, Bihar, and Chhattisgarh to promote cultural exchange. Additionally, the Uttar Pradesh Information Department will host an exhibition on good governance at the Sangeet Natak Academy. On the occasion of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s birth centenary, the Chief Minister will pay tribute by offering flowers to his statue at Lok Bhavan.
