The Maharashtra government is preparing to sanction a substantial Rs 681 crore development initiative for Chondi, highlighting its historical significance as the birthplace of the 18th-century ruler Ahilyabai Holkar. This ambitious project is expected to reinforce the area's prominence in Indian history.

President Droupadi Murmu is slated to join the 300th birth anniversary celebration of Queen Ahilyabai Holkar on May 31 in Chondi, Ahilyanagar district, marking an important milestone acknowledging her legacy as an adept and compassionate leader.
