Chapter 219: Dakshin Bharatiya Empire Year End Report Part :1

Dakshin Bhartiya Empire, Vijayanagar State, capital city Hampi.

It is an important day in the history of the Empire because today marks the day of the first year-end report. This report, submitted to Emperor Vijay Devaraya by the government, serves to review all the progress made by the empire in the past year. It is akin to a report card for the ministers in power. The year-end report should have been held right after Ugadi, but the war with the Ahom kingdom made it impossible to do so. Additionally, Vijay had to explain what a year-end report was to the ministers, as they were unaware of its purpose and needed time to prepare.

He vividly recalled the dialogue he had with Vinod a few days ago.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for my lack of knowledge, but what is this year-end report?" Vinod inquired, puzzled by yet another new proposal from His Majesty.
