In 2010, to commemorate Gujarat’s 50th anniversary, the then Chief Minister and current Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, launched Swarnim Jayanti Mukhyamantri Shaheri Vikas Yojana.

In total, the state government has sanctioned ₹2,430.46 crore for 43,752 projects.

Under this scheme, municipal corporations and municipalities can receive grants for basic common facilities in private societies within their jurisdictions. These facilities include roads, paver blocks, water lines, drainage lines, street lights, rainwater harvesting systems, and paver block installations in common plots of societies. The grants are provided on a 70:20:10 basis. Accordingly, 70% of the total project cost is covered by the state government, 20% by the private society, and 10% by the local authority. This public-private partnership model enables private societies to implement essential infrastructure projects with shared responsibility.
