A "Vikas Padyatra" will take place tomorrow at the Statue of Unity, a renowned global tourist destination.

Narmada (Gujarat) [India], October 14: In celebration of 23 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's good governance, "Development Week" is being observed throughout the state, including Narmada district.

To mark the success of the Prime Minister's 23-year journey in public service, a decision has been made to organize padayatras at 23 iconic locations. One such development walk will take place on Tuesday, October 15, at 9:00 AM at the Statue of Unity, a major global tourist attraction in Narmada district, according to a press release.

The Vikas Padayatra will be led by Bhikhusinhji Parmar, Gujarat's Minister of Food and Civil Supplies and the Narmada District In-charge Minister. A large number of participants, including district officials, office bearers, employees, elected representatives, school teachers, ICDS Anganwadi-Asha workers, midday meal managers, fair-price shopkeepers, SRP-Police personnel, NCC-Home Guard personnel, SOU staff, and citizens from both district and taluka levels, will actively take part.

Narendra Modi first assumed office as Chief Minister of Gujarat on October 7, 2001.

Many welfare schemes introduced by the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre have drawn inspiration from initiatives taken by Narendra Modi during his time as Gujarat's Chief Minister.

The Gujarat government is celebrating 'Vikas Saptah' from October 7 to highlight the state's development journey since Modi became CM. Narendra Modi was first sworn in as Prime Minister on May 26, 2014, and is now serving his third consecutive term.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah previously congratulated PM Modi on completing 23 years in government, noting that his long tenure serves as an inspiration for those in public service.
