Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that the tradition of naming roads after great personalities is old and today, for the first time in the country, a road is being named after daughters.
"The road from Bharat Mata Crossroads to Polytechnic Square in Bhopal, which is known as Smart City Road, will now be known as Ladli Laxmi Path," Chouhan said.
Chouhan made the remark while addressing the 'Ladli Laxmi Path' dedication programme at Bharat Mata Chouraha, Bhopal on Wednesday.
CM Chouhan said, "There is no other honour greater than the honour of daughters. We have decided that 'Ladli Laxmi Path' will be developed in all 52 districts of the state. Information related to women's empowerment, and schemes run for the welfare and advancement of girls and women will be displayed on both sides of these paths. This will make women and society aware". Chouhan said that the implementation of the Ladli Laxmi Yojana was the most important work of his life.

Planting trees is like planting life, the saplings planted by daughters will grow with time and will contribute to life in various forms. Human life should also be as useful as a tree. We should work for the progress of the state and the country and bring hope and happiness in the lives of the people, only then our life will be fruitful".
