PM Modi added, “I can never forget the time when the people of Gujarat had a ‘simple’ demand – to get electricity during dinner time. Things have changed so much in Gujarat. Today’s youth in Gujarat are not aware of the earlier days of inconvenience.”
PM Modi stated that over the last twenty years, Gujarat has introduced many farmer friendly schemes and the state was among the earliest to work on strengthening solar energy capacities.

“Energy security and water security are vital in the 21st century. Who can forget the water problems of Kutch. When our team spoke of getting Narmada waters to Kutch, we were mocked. Now, Narmada waters have reached Kutch and by the blessings of Maa Narmada, Kutch is progressing,” noted Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
