CM Shri Bhupendra Patel presents Development Projects Worth Over ₹495 Crore for Visnagar

Gandhinagar : At the inauguration and foundation stone laying ceremony of various development works in the historic copper city of Visnagar, Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Patel stated that the state government is committed to carrying forward the politics of development initiated by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. Development projects worth ₹2,800 crore have been inaugurated in just three days across Gujarat. He emphasized that when such developmental initiatives are undertaken for the welfare of the people, the public must also actively participate. People hesitated to ask the government for development work in the past. Today, demands are confidently made for projects worth crores of rupees, and these works are being executed. This trust-building between the government and the people has been made possible under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.

Furthermore, he stated that through “Operation Sindoor,” Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has sent a message that terrorism will be uprooted from its very foundation. Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Patel congratulated Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, Home Minister Shri Amit Shah, and the Indian Armed Forces for the successful execution of Operation Sindoor.

He said that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, by adopting the mantra of “Nagarik Devo Bhavah” and “Janta Janardan,” has focused on inclusive empowerment of the people. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, arrangements have been made to ensure that there is no shortage of funds for development projects.

Speaking on development works, CM said that to address the issue of traffic congestion in the state, a ₹1,020 crore “Garvi Gujarat High-Speed Corridor” project has been promoted. In Visnagar as well, a bypass road is to be constructed at the cost of ₹210 crore. The state government is committed to ensuring that amenities like roads, education, and healthcare reach even the remotest villages of Gujarat. In earlier times, Gujarat had 1,375 medical seats; today, 7,000 doctors  graduate every year. For better healthcare in rural areas, sub-district hospitals are being upgraded at the taluka level. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has laid special emphasis on the eradication of TB. Under the Ni-kshay Yojana, a compassionate responsibility is being fulfilled by providing treatment and nutrition kits to TB patients.

CM said that while we could not contribute to the country’s freedom struggle, we must now work to fulfill the vision of Viksit Bharat by the year 2047 as envisioned by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. He urged everyone to adopt the Nav Sankalp (nine resolutions) given by the Prime Minister — water conservation, green cover, cleanliness,  vocal for local, discovering India, adopting natural farming, adopting a healthy lifestyle, giving space to yoga and sports in life, and helping the underprivileged.
