Public meetings to be held in Ahmedabad, Surat,

Vadodara and Rajkot

Trust him to do the unimaginable and that too in his unique style- now, you can see Shri Modi addressing a public meeting in 3D! Come Sunday 18th November 2012 Shri Modi will address public meetings in 4 different cities across Gujarat using 3D Projection Technology.

4 public meetings have been organized “at-a-time” across the 4 major cities of Gujarat- Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara and Rajkot and Shri Modi can be viewed in 3D format simultaneously in all 4 cities. In terms of political scenario this will be the very first attempt ever made by any political leader to address the massive gathering using such an advanced technology. The state-of-art technology used offers the audience/viewers a feel that the person is real and even enables them to interact with the projected ‘virtual’ person as if interacting with ‘Actual person’, eliminating the need of wearing 3D glasses.  After this, the 3D Projection technology  will be replicated across other cities. 

The announcement was made by BJP National Vice President Shri Purushottam Rupala in the presence of Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Shri Arun Jaitley. Shri Jaitley said that this is the first time such technology is being used in the Indian political arena.

With this innovative usage of technology to reach out to the people, Shri Modi has yet again demonstrated that when it comes to innovation and application of latest technology in any sphere be it Government or Political, Shri Modi is miles ahead of others.

During the 2007 Gujarat Vidhan Sabha elections, the Modi Masks captured the imagination of the people, especially the youth of Gujarat. This was a path-breaking endeavor to connect with the people.

In August 2012, Shri Modi held a Google+ Hangout in which he interacted with the people spread across all parts of the world. The Hangout was moderated by noted actor Mr. Ajay Devgn. This was for the first time that any Indian politician chose to connect with people in this way and it was a roaring success- Shri Modi’s Hangout was viewed across 116 nations and the day of the Hangout saw record 1,66,000 clicks on Shri Modi’s website. More than 70,000 Tweets poured in as the Hangout was underway and ‘#ModiHangout’ was trending on Twitter during the entire day of the Hangout! It was unanimously agreed that Shri Modi’s Hangout not only breached barriers of communication but also changed terms of political discourse. 

Shri Modi views technology as ‘Easy, Effective and Economic’ and has wonderfully incorporated it in the sphere of governance for which he has received several awards and accolades.

In November 2011 the Computer Society of India conferred Shri Modi with the E-Ratna Award for his contribution in the field of E-Governance. Furthermore, the ICT initiatives of the Chief Minister’s Office won the ‘Award of Excellence- Departmental Level’ at the CSI Nihilent e-Governance Awards 2011. The e-Gov strategies and ICT enabled initiatives at the CMO were awarded the ‘Best Government to Citizen Initiative of the Year Award’ at the eIndia Summit held late last year.

Gujarat Government’s initiatives such as E-Gram Vishwa Gram, SWAGAT and eMPOWER indicate how much importance Shri Modi has always given to the usage of technology in the last decade. Infact, application of the latest technology has been a key reason why Gujarat has scaled newer heights of development in the last decade under Shri Modi’s leadership.

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi earlier today chaired a meeting of the 46th edition of PRAGATI, an ICT-based multi-modal platform for Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation, involving Centre and State governments.

In the meeting, eight significant projects were reviewed, which included three Road Projects, two projects each of Railways and Port, Shipping & Waterways. The combined cost of these projects, spread across different States/UTs, is around Rs 90,000 crore.

While reviewing grievance redressal related to Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY), Prime Minister directed that all Ministries and Departments should ensure that the identification of beneficiaries is done strictly through biometrics-based Aadhaar authentication or verification. Prime Minister also directed to explore the potential for integrating additional programmes into the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana, specifically those aimed at promoting child care, improving health and hygiene practices, ensuring cleanliness, and addressing other related aspects that contribute to the overall well-being of the mother and newly born child.

During the review of infrastructure project concerning the development of a Ring Road, Prime Minister emphasized that the development of Ring Road should be integrated as a key component of broader urban planning efforts. The development must be approached holistically, ensuring that it aligns with and supports the city’s growth trajectory over the next 25 to 30 years. Prime Minister also directed that various planning models be studied, with particular focus on those that promote self-sustainability, especially in the context of long-term viability and efficient management of the Ring Road. He also urged to explore the possibility of integrating a Circular Rail Network within the city's transport infrastructure as a complementary and sustainable alternative for public transportation.

During the review of the Jal Marg Vikas Project, Prime Minister said that efforts should be made to establish a strong community connect along the stretches for boosting cruise tourism. It will foster a vibrant local ecosystem by creating opportunities for business development, particularly for artisans and entrepreneurs associated with the 'One District One Product' (ODOP) initiative and other local crafts. The approach is intended to not only enhance community engagement but also stimulate economic activity and livelihood generation in the regions adjoining the waterway. Prime Minister stressed that such inland waterways should be drivers for tourism also.

During the interaction, Prime Minister reiterated the importance of leveraging tools such as PM GatiShakti and other integrated platforms to enable holistic and forward-looking planning. He emphasized that the use of such tools is crucial for achieving synergy across sectors and ensuring efficient infrastructure development.

Prime Minister further directed all stakeholders to ensure that their respective databases are regularly updated and accurately maintained, as reliable and current data is essential for informed decision-making and effective planning.

Up to the 46th edition of PRAGATI meetings, 370 projects having a total cost of around Rs 20 lakh crore have been reviewed.
