Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be visiting Rajasthan and Gujarat on a two-day tour starting from Thursday, July 27. During his visit, he will lay the foundation stone and dedicate various development projects in Sikar, Rajasthan. This is significant as Rajasthan is set to have assembly elections in December this year.
In Sikar, PM Modi will dedicate 1.25 lakh PM Kisan Samriddhi Kendras (PMKSKs) to the nation. These Kendras are being developed to provide a one-stop solution for all farmers’ needs. Additionally, he will also launch Urea Gold, a new variety of Urea coated with Sulphur. This innovative fertilizer addresses sulfur deficiencies in the soil and is more economical and efficient than neem-coated urea.
Furthermore, during his visit, the Prime Minister will launch the onboarding of 1,500 farmer producer organizations (FPOs) on the open network for digital commerce (ONDC). This will empower FPOs with direct access to digital marketing, online payment, and business transactions. It will also encourage local value addition and growth of logistics in rural areas.
PM Modi will release the 14th installment amount of about Rs 17,000 crore under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme. This amount will be directly transferred to more than 8.5 crore beneficiaries.
On the same day, he will inaugurate five new medical colleges at Chittorgarh, Dholpur, Sirohi, Sikar, and Sri Ganganagar. He will also lay the foundation stone for seven more medical colleges at Baran, Bundi, Karauli, Jhunjhunu, Sawai Madhopur, Jaisalmer, and Tonk.
Moving on to Gujarat, on July 27, PM Modi will inaugurate the new international airport in Rajkot, which has been built at a cost of Rs 1,400 crore. Additionally, he will inaugurate development projects worth over Rs 860 crore in Rajkot.
On July 28, the Prime Minister will inaugurate SemiconIndia 2023 in Gandhinagar. The conference aims to bring together global leaders from the semiconductor industry and showcase India’s semiconductor strategy. It envisions making India a global hub for semiconductor design, manufacturing, and technology development. Representatives from major companies such as Micron Technology, Applied Materials, Foxconn, SEMI, Cadence, and AMD will be participating in the conference.
