CM Bhupendra Patel Reviews Development Projects in Historic Vadnagar

Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel visited Vadnagar on Monday to assess ongoing developments, including the L&T Industrial - Construction Skills Training Institute, as confirmed by a CMO press statement. Spanning 37,628 sq. m., the institute offers training in 14 vocational trades, with an annual capacity for 3,040 trainees, featuring cutting-edge facilities like digital boards and e-learning systems.

In addition to the skills institute, CM Patel inspected the progress of critical projects by state and central government in Vadnagar, known for its historical significance. To expedite the completion of a multi-modal transport hub near the Vadnagar railway station, Patel instructed officials to ensure seamless coordination between the Railways and the State Government's Tourism Department.

As part of the Swadesh Darshan Yojana's Heritage Circuit, significant sites like Sharmishtha Lake and Tana Riri Park are being upgraded.
