** Amit Shah opens the 'Gatha Swaraj Ki' gallery at the Scindia Museum in Gwalior.
At the sprawling Jai Vilas Mahal of Scindias, the erstwhile rulers of Gwalior, Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated a gallery-cum-exhibition depicting the history of prominent Maratha commanders. Shah was in Gwalior to lay the groundwork for the Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Airport's terminal building and expansion.
Shah paid a visit to the palace museum and inaugurated the 'Gatha Swaraj ki-Maratha Gallery,' which depicts the history of the main Maratha rulers such as the Scindias, Gaikwads, Holkars, Nevalkars, Bhosales, and Pawars. According to the gallery's brochure, the term "Swaraj" was first used in 1902 by Sakharam Ganesh Deoskar in a Bangla book titled "Shivajir Mahatva" about the life of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Mahatma Gandhi, Veer Savarkar, the Bhartiya Jan Sangh, and the Indian National Congress, among others, used the term "Swaraj."

** On October 17, 2022, the International Day for the Abolition of Poverty is observed.
Every year on October 17, the world observes International Day for the Abolition of Poverty. It is a day set aside to raise awareness about the global issue of poverty and how it violates human rights and dignity. The day also recognises the bravery of people living in poverty and their daily struggles. This year, the UN honours people living in poverty and their daily courage on the 35th anniversary of the World Day to Overcome Extreme Poverty and the 30th anniversary of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, and raises awareness about why global cooperation is required to eradicate poverty.
The Importance of the International Day for the Abolition of Poverty in 2022
This day is observed by recognising the effort and daily struggle of people living in poverty and providing an opportunity for them to make their needs and concerns known to the general public. Poverty is a global issue that requires global attention to be resolved. The International Day for the Abolition of Poverty raises awareness of these issues and reminds us that the social and environmental causes of poverty can be addressed.
Theme for the International Day for the Abolition of Poverty in 2022
The theme of this year's International Day for the Abolition of Poverty is "Dignity for All in Practice." Human dignity is not only a fundamental right in and of itself, but it also serves as the foundation for all other fundamental rights. As a result, "Dignity" is not an abstract concept: it belongs to everyone. Many people in persistent poverty today have their dignity denied and disrespected.
History of the International Day for the Abolition of Poverty
The International Day for the Abolition of Poverty was established on October 17, 1987, to remember the victims of extreme poverty, violence, and hunger. Over a hundred thousand people gathered at Paris' Trocadéro. In 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed here.
They declared poverty a violation of human rights and emphasised the importance of working together to address this issue. With these convictions, a commemorative stone was unveiled. Replicas of this commemorative stone have been discovered all over the world, where people gather every October 17 to commemorate this day.
On December 22, 1992, the United Nations General Assembly established the 17th of October as the International Day for the Abolition of Poverty through Resolution 47/196.
** World Poverty Day is celebrated on October 17, 2022.
Every year on October 17, the International Day for the Abolition of Poverty is observed. The goal of this day is to raise awareness about the need for poverty alleviation and poverty reduction throughout the world, particularly in developing countries.
