PM Modi rolls out projects worth Rs 3,050 crore in Navsari tribal area of Gujarat

<p>
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation stones of multiple development projects worth Rs 3,050 crores in the Navsari tribal area of Gujarat on Friday.</p>
<p>
These projects will help in improving the water supply in the region, along with boosting connectivity and enhancing the ease of living.</p>
<p>
Addressing a massive gathering to mark 'Gujarat Gaurav Abhiyan' in Navsari, PM Modi said, "The rapid development in the state during the last two decades is a matter of great pride for the Gujarat.”</p>
<p>
“The double engine BJP government is sincerely carrying forward the glorious tradition of development for all and a new aspiration born out of this development,” he explained.</p>
<p>
PM Modi pointed out that in the last 8 years, following the mantra of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas,” the Union government has put utmost emphasis on the welfare of the people in the state.</p>
<p>
Earlier, it used to take months for campaigns such as vaccination to reach forest areas where tribals reside but now they are implemented there simultaneously along with urban areas, the PM said.</p>
<p>
Taking a swipe at the Congress, the Prime Minister said those who ruled the country for a long time, never took interest in the development of tribal areas as it requires hard work.</p>
<p>
Later in the day, PM will also inaugurate AM Naik Healthcare Complex and Nirali Multi Speciality Hospital in Navsari.</p>
<p>
PM Modi will also inaugurate  the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre (IN-SPACe) headquarters Bopal in Ahmedabad.</p>
<p>
IN-SPACe will be the nodal agency that will allow the use of Department of Space-owned facilities by non-government private entities and ensure their participation in the space sector. It will be a single-window nodal agency which will permit and oversee Space activities including the building of launch vehicles and satellites, as approved by the Union Cabinet in June 2020.</p>
<p>
Before taking over as the Prime Minister in 2014, PM Modi was the longest-serving Chief Minister of Gujarat with his term extending from October 2001 to May 2014.</p>
