Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah today inaugurated and laid the
foundation stone for various development projects worth approximately 66 crore in Gujarat’s
Sanand Assembly constituency via video conferencing from New Delhi.
Addressing the program, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah said that
under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, like in other elections, the NDA
(National Democratic Alliance) candidate Shri C.P. Radhakrishnan achieved a resounding victory in
the Vice-Presidential election, held yesterday. Shri Shah noted that with Shri Radhakrishnan’s
election, India’s constitutional posts reflect the country’s geographical unity. He highlighted that
President Smt. Droupadi Murmu represents Eastern India, Vice-President Shri C.P. Radhakrishnan
represents Southern India, and Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, who hails from Gujarat and won
elections from Varanasi, represents Western and Northern India. Thus, the constitutional positions
of the country represent all four directions—East, West, North, and South.
Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation said that Sanand has been developed with a
clear plan over the past few years. He stated that by 2029, no village in the Sanand Assembly
constituency will lack basic amenities. He mentioned that a comprehensive plan has been prepared
to address the lack of facilities in Bavla and Sanand municipalities. Steps are being taken to
strengthen facilities such as roads, afforestation, healthcare, sanitation, and drinking water in the
region. Shri Shah added that once the Dholera Special Investment Region becomes operational
and industrial development projects around Sanand are completed, Sanand will emerge as the
most industrially developed tehsil in Gujarat. He noted that the Gujarat government has already
planned for this.
Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah stated that for years, 111 villages
in Sanand lacked irrigation and drinking water facilities, but the first phase of addressing this issue
is now nearly complete. He mentioned that water supply to these villages has been achieved at a
cost of approximately 750 crore. Additionally, work to deliver water to households and fields will
resume at an estimated cost of 1,000 crore. Shri Shah noted that development projects worth
around 150 crore have been planned through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives in
the Sanand Assembly constituency. The needs of each village were identified in collaboration with
the Collector, MLA, and other stakeholders. He added that, based on recent discussions with
industrialists, a robust administrative framework has been established. The Home Minister stated
that the target is to complete the provision of basic amenities, currently absent in Sanand’s villages,
within the next one-and-a-half to two years at a cost of approximately 150 crore.Shri Amit Shah appealed to the public to participate in Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s “Ek Ped Maa Ke
Naam” campaign by planting as many trees as possible in open spaces in villages, schools, and municipalities.
He highlighted that under the Green Gandhinagar Project, the number of trees in the Gandhinagar Lok Sabha
constituency is increasing daily. Shri Shah noted with pride that Gandhinagar Lok Sabha has set a record for
the highest number of trees planted across Gujarat.
Shri Amit Shah also mentioned that during the recent SEMICON India 2025 event, Prime Minister Shri
Narendra Modi unveiled India’s first fully developed 32-bit processor chip, ‘Vikram-32’. He added that chip
manufacturing by Micron Technology is set to begin in Sanand, which will add a new dimension to the
region’s development. He emphasized that under Shri Modi’s leadership, the country is progressing in every
field.
Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah said that in today’s program, 29 projects were inaugurated, 23 projects
had their foundation stones laid, and development works worth around ₹66 crore were either initiated or
completed. These projects encompass afforestation, road construction, rural road schemes, village roads, and
school development, among others.
