GANDHINAGAR: The Gujarat government has planned a number of events on the occasion of chief minister Vijay Rupani completing uninterrupted 5 years in office.
The state government has planned various programmes which will be held across the state under the banner ‘Panch Varsh Apni Sarkarna — Sauna Sath Sauna Vikas’ to mark the completion of five years of Rupani in power.
The state government, in a statement, claimed that instead of celebrating the completion of five years, “Gujarat government will present works done in five years for public service and public interest”. Several programmes have been planned between August 1 and 9 to mark the event.
The state government, in a statement, said all events will be held in full compliance with Covid-19 guidelines. It will celebrate Gyanshakti Divas (August 1), Samvedana Divas (August 2), Annotsav Divas (August 3), Nari Gaurav Divas (August 4), Kisan Sanman Divas (August 5), Rojgar Divas (August 6), Vikas Divas (August 7), Shehri Jansukhakari Divas (August 8) and Vishwa Adivasi Divas (August 9).
On August 3, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will virtually attend the ‘Annotsav Divas’ programme organised under ‘Sarvne Ann, Sarvne Poshan’. He will distribute 5kg foodgrain per person to 4.25 lakh poor Antyodaya families from 17,000 government-approved fair price shops.
Rupani and minister for food and civil supplies Jayesh Radadia will also join the state-level programme from Dahod. The PM will interact directly with the beneficiaries at five fair price shops in five districts. In addition, under NFSA, approximately 72 lakh families will be provided 5kg foodgrains kits per person. Around 8.50 lakh people will participate in the entire programme.
