modiNew Delhi: To mark the ‘Good Governance Day’ tomorrow, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be in his Lok Sabha constituency Varanasi where he will attend a number of programmes on the occasion of the birthday of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

Modi will also visit Banaras Hindu University (BHU) where he will lay the foundation stone for an inter-university centre for teachers’ education to be named after Madan Mohan Malviya.
The centre is expected to function as an autonomous body, the details of which will be spelt out during the Prime Minister’s visit to the campus.
At the BHU, Modi is also expected to launch Varanasi Mahotsav.
While in Varanasi, the Prime Minister will also lay the foundation stone for expansion of the Diesel Locomotive Works factory.
Foundation stone for expansion of a stadium in the holy city will also be laid.
