“I pay my homage to the vision of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi for he had come up with the idea of a multidimensional project for Nadabet. I see a vision that after 10 years, will give employment to at least 5 lakh youth in Banaskantha,” Shah said.
The project is located hardly a few kilometres away from the India-Pakistan international border. Also present at the inauguration with Shah was Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel.
Shah also said that the border tourism project will not only boost tourism but also deter migration into India from villages at the border. “This will not only promote tourism but also ensure that migration from border villages of India, which is a big problem, will stop,” Shah said at the inauguration.
