Amit Shah inaugurates and lays foundation stone of various development projects in Urban Park, Sector 17
As Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi worked to realize many of the ideas of urban development on the ground
Narendra Modi, while being the Chief Minister of Gujarat, also worked to bring a state-of-the-art Town Planning Act on the ground
After becoming the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi put forth the concept of Smart City in the whole country.
Modi ji put forth the idea of how to develop modern cities, plan urban land with foresight and upgrade facilities and reconcile them and put the idea of their unified command in front of the country
After this, he came up with the idea of AMRUT Yojana and Green City and Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized on cleanliness by adding many schemes together
Due to this initiative of Modi ji, a new work culture of urban development has been created in the whole country, irrespective of the government of any party, and today the same development is visible in cities across the country
When we were young, the children of Gujarat were told that Chandigarh is a planned and a city worth seeing, and after seeing Chandigarh, it is truly felt that its design has been made with very fine thought
When a city is formed and developed, its needs also change with time and those who do not change with time, cannot keep themselves relevant
Today, I want to heartily congratulate the Chandigarh administration that it has made an effort to change with time, and, this is not limited only to the civic amenities, but security, environment protection and new mixed culture of Chandigarh has been preserved in this
Chandigarh is going to become the most disciplined and modern city of the country in the coming time
Today, development works were inaugurated and foundation stone has been laid, these include education, water supply in 6 villages, construction of bus depots in industrial area and construction of hostels for boys and girls
The biggest task is to create an integrated command and control center, this integrated command center is going to bring about a drastic change in all areas of civil administration in Chandigarh in the coming days
There will be monitoring of many civil facilities from a single command center and there will also be a system to upgrade them
This command center will create a new environment of traffic discipline including sending challans home for breaking rules, security of Chandigarh and sending a police team in a moment when any missing object is noticed
All school children up to class 12th should be asked to visit this command center so that they can understand it as future citizens
A lot of initiatives have also been taken to establish Chandigarh as a model solar city and perhaps India’s largest bike sharing system on PPP model is in Chandigarh itself, this has ensured huge success in keeping the environment of Chandigarh clean
The work of 100% digitization of revenue records has also been completed, perhaps Chandigarh will be the first city in the country where 100% digitization has completed
In 7 years under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a lot of work has been done in many fields in the country
In the past, the biggest work under the leadership of Modi ji has been done is to manufacture the indigenous vaccine of Corona and to make available 185 crore doses of it to the country
The whole world is astonished that in a country with a population of 130 crore, everyone gets the vaccine easily without any fuss and a certificate is also given on getting both the doses
Big developed countries are also trying to set up a system by demanding India’s COWIN App, which India has already done
Many developed countries were worried and hurt by third wave, but no one even knew when the third wave came in India and when it went away because 100% vaccination has been done in the country
This is an example of how a leadership can take the help of technology to serve the poorest of the poor
By using technology, Modi ji provided 5 kg of food grains free of cost to every poor person in the country for 2 years and there was no lapse in it
These two examples have proved that if the visionary Prime Minister of the country takes the help of technology and decides to do something, then whether it is in the field of health or to deliver food grains to the homes of the poor, without doing injustice to anyone with the help of technology, and giving everyone their right and with zero corruption, goals can be achieved
Till now the work of distributing one thousand lakh metric tonnes of food grains worth about Rs 3,40,000 crore has been completed
You can imagine that one thousand lakh metric tons of food grains in the form of kgs reached every citizen’s house and there was no mismanagement
In the cabinet meeting this week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji has decided to extend the scheme of providing free food grains till 30 September 2022, and, I thank Modi ji for this
The biggest work done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji is to make the country secured
When we make a capsule of all this, then today the whole world has changed the way of looking at India, Narendra Modi ji has worked to increase the value of India’s passport
Modi ji’s goal is that all the states should become ideal administrative units and Chandigarh is moving forward in a very good way in the direction of fulfilling the wish and goal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi
The way new schemes have been started in Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, I am confident that under the work culture of the Modi government, the schemes will be inaugurated in the same period and people will also start getting their benefits

Shri Shah said that big developed countries are also trying to set up a system by demanding India’s COWIN App, which India has already done. Many developed countries were worried and hurt by third wave, but no one even knew when the third wave came in India and when it went away because full vaccination has been done in the country. He said that this is an example of how a leadership can take the help of technology to serve the poorest of the poor. He said that Prime Minister Modi ji held a video conference with the Chief Ministers of the states for about 22 to 23 times on the implementation of COVID management and vaccination, going beyond party politics. Shri Amit Shah said that due to the lockdown in the COVID period, employment of many daily wagers was lost and the whole world was watching how India would manage these 80 crore poor people. Here also by using technology, Modi ji provided 5 kg of food grains free of cost to every poor person in the country for 2 years and there was no lapse in it because food grains are received through thumb impression only. The Prime Minister worked to send 5 kg of food grains every month free of cost to 80 crore poor people on behalf of the Government of India for 2 years and worried that the stove and kitchen of the poor would continue to function. He said that these two examples have proved that if the visionary Prime Minister of the country takes the help of technology and decides to do something, then whether it is in the field of health or to deliver food grains to the homes of the poor, without doing injustice to anyone with the help of technology, and giving everyone their right and with zero corruption, goals can be achieved.

You can imagine that one thousand lakh metric tons of food grains in the form of 5 kgs reached every citizen’s house and there was no mismanagement. Shri Amit Shah said that today change is taking place in every field in the country, whether it is in the field of agriculture, industrial development, to make India a hub of manufacturing in the world, to bring a new education policy, urban development, rural development or welfare programs for the poor. Modi ji has worked to implement these schemes within 7 years.
Amit Shah said that the biggest work done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji is to make the country secured. He said that when we make a capsule of all this, then today the whole world has changed the way of looking at India, Narendra Modi ji has worked to increase the value of India’s passport. He said that Chandigarh has done a lot of work today to transform itself keeping in mind the needs of the times to come. Shah said that Modi ji’s goal is that all the states should become ideal administrative units and Chandigarh is moving forward in a very good way in the direction of fulfilling the wish and goal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that the way new schemes have been started in Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, I am confident that under the work culture of the Modi government, the schemes will be inaugurated in the same period and people will also start getting their benefits.
