Ahmedabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on a two-day visit to Gujarat arrived at Maha-Panchayat Sammelan at GMDC Ground in Ahmedabad on Friday. He addressed a public meeting and accentuated that Gujarat is the land of Bapu and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and how Bapu always talked about rural development and self-reliant villages.
Prime Minister urged the public to fulfill the dream of 'Grameen Vikas' as the nation marks 'Amrit Mahotsav'. He highlighted the importance of the Panchayati Raj system to fulfill the dream of Gram Swaraj and added that Panch- Sarpanch is doing the work of giving momentum to it.
He further said, "more than 1.5 lakh elected public representatives would sit together to discuss the bright future of Gujarat. There can be no greater opportunity and no greater power of democracy than this." Modi also praised the fact that in Gujarat, the representation of women in Panchayati Raj is more than men.
He claimed that Corona has lost its breath when it enters the villages of Gujarat, while introducing the might of the people of Gujarat's villages. PM urged people to take a vow and remind the youngsters about the great heroes of the independence and to be mindful about their water usage.
Saying that country is celebrating Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav till August '23, he suggested to take out 75 morning processions in the village during this period and to hold 75 programs during this period in which entire village populace should get together and think about the holistic development of the village.
Recalling the initiative to build one lakh farm ponds in 100 days, he enlisted the help of the locals by suggesting that they gather water by building little farm ponds for the impending monsoon. The villagers had agreed to construct 75 agricultural ponds in the community.
Gujarat has a three-tier Panchayati Raj structure, with 33 district panchayats, 248 taluka panchayats and over 14,500 gram panchayats. ‘Gujarat Panchayat Mahasammelan: Aapnu Gaam, Aapnu Gaurav’ will witness the participation of more than 1 lakh representatives from the three tiers of the Panchayati Raj institutions in the State.
On Saturday, Prime Minister will address the first convocation of the Rashtriya Raksha University at 11 am. Later, in the evening around 6:30 pm, he will announce the opening of the 11th Khel Mahakumbh and address the public on the occasion.
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was welcomed at the Ahmedabad airport by students from Ukraine who returned safely to India with the posters of 'Zukti hai dunia zukanewala chahiye', 'One India strong India under the leadership of Modi, Vishwaguru Bharat'.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi staged a 10-kilometer road tour from Ahmedabad Airport to Kamalam in Ahmedabad. The Prime Minister, who arrived in Kamalam shortly after the road show ended, was greeted warmly as dancers performed along the road show's route.
