At the Ahmedabad Shopping Festival I too could not resist from shopping! Purchased some Khadi products using the RuPay card.
I urge you all- keep buying Khadi and contribute to the empowerment of lakhs of weavers associated with the industry. It is also a great tribute to Bapu! pic.twitter.com/DVTAIwFJz2

Speaking about the SVP medical institute, Mr. Modi said, “The Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Institute of Medical Sciences and Research in Ahmedabad is dedicated to your service at a cost of Rs. 750 crore.”
The hospital, a part of the Ayushman Bharat Yojana, is built on the premises of the old Vadilal Sarabhai Hospital. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) built the SVP Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, which includes 1,500 beds, an air ambulance and new technologies for the public.
The Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Institute of Medical Sciences and Research is an excellent public hospital, which will strengthen the efforts to provide quality healthcare to the poor.
