Bhopal: Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually inaugurated the world’s first Vedic clock on Thursday at the Jantar Mantar in Ujjain city in Madhya Pradesh. The Vedic clock is installed an 85-ft high tower.

The clock will display time according to ancient Vedic Hindu panchang (almanac). Besides planetary positions, muhurat, astrological calculations, and predictions, the clock will also display the IST and GMTand operate on the time system based on one sunrise to another.

PM Modi in his address after virtually inaugurating the first-of-its-kind Vedic clock said that this proves that our government works on development and heritage simultaneously. The city of Baba Mahakal (Ujjain) was once the centre of time calculation, but its importance was forgotten.

Now we’ve established the world’s first Vikramaditya Vedic clock. It will not just render an opportunity to remember our rich heritage, but will also be witness to that Kalchakra (time cycle) which will turn India into a developed nation.

He launched the Cyber Tehsil system for all 55 districts to help in land related issues. Modi virtually unveiled and laid foundation stone of 37 development projects worth Rs 17,500 crore in MP at the Viksit Bharat Viksit Madhya Pradesh which was attended by 15 lakh people across 200 locations in the State.
