“India’s development story has become a matter of discussion around the world”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday. The Prime Minister mentioned Chandrayaan’s landing on the South Pole of the moon and the successful G20 presidency. He noted the new sense of resolution and credited the power of people for the rise in India’s stature. He highlighted all-round development in the country and mentioned measures for water conservation, irrigation and drinking water. Be it roads, rail or airports, Modi underlined the unprecedented investments in all sectors thereby leading to the development of modern infrastructure in India. Prime Minister said that the people of Gujarat have already witnessed the development works that the rest of the country is experiencing today. “Whatever resolution Modi takes, he fulfills it”, the Prime Minister remarked.
He credited the rapid development to the stable government elected by the people of Gujarat and said that the entire state has benefited from this including North Gujarat. Addressing the gathering after inaugurating and dedicating to the nation and laid the foundation stone for projects worth around Rs 5800 crores in Mehsana, Gujarat, the Prime Minister remarked that the two dates of 30th and 31st October are a source of great inspiration for everyone, as the former is the death anniversary of Govind Guru ji and the latter is the birth anniversary of Sardar Patel ji. “Our generation has expressed its reverence for Sardar Saheb by building the world’s largest statue, the Statue of Unity”, Modi said. He mentioned that the life of Govind Guru ji is also a symbol of the contribution and sacrifice of the tribal society in the independence of India. He expressed happiness that over the years, the government established the importance of Mangarh Dham at the national level.
The Prime Minister mentioned performing darshan and pooja at Ambaji Temple earlier in the day and expressed gratitude for getting the opportunity to seek the blessings of Goddess Ambaji. He appreciated the work being done to develop Gabbar Parvat and enhance its grandeur. Speaking about the projects of today, the Prime Minister said that the foundation stone of projects worth about Rs 6000 crores has been laid and inaugurated with the blessings of Maa Ambe. He said that these projects will further improve connectivity and benefit the farmers in the region. “The districts around Mehsana, Patan, Banaskantha, Sabarkantha, Mahisagar, Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar will also benefit from these projects”, he added. He congratulated the people of Gujarat for today’s projects.
Recalling the time when life was difficult in the entire North Gujarat region due to lack of water for drinking and irrigation, and the only dairy business faced many difficulties, the Prime Minister pointed out that the farmers were able to harvest only one crop per year and that too without any certainty. Shri Modi highlighted the work done to rejuvenate the region and mentioned the work done for water supply and irrigation here. “We worked to develop the agriculture sector as well as the industrial sector of North Gujarat”, he emphasized. He said that the government’s aim was to create as many new avenues of earning as possible for the people of North Gujarat. He highlighted the Sujalam-Sufalam Scheme which makes use of the water of Narmada and Mahi rivers for the development of Gujarat. Shri Modi informed that 6 barrages are being built on Sabarmati to ensure maximum benefits. “One of these barrages has been inaugurated today. Our farmers and dozens of villages will benefit greatly from this”, he said.
