During the second day of his three-day visit to Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a hectic schedule. According to his office, he is set to arrive at the Mahatma Mandir Convention Centre in Gandhinagar at 9:30 am for bilateral meetings with world leaders, followed by discussions with the CEOs of major global corporations.
Later in the day, around 3 pm, Modi will inaugurate the Vibrant Gujarat Global Trade Show. In the evening, a 3-km roadshow in Ahmedabad is scheduled with UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit will be inaugurated by the PM on Wednesday.
The Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit, initiated by Modi during his tenure as the state’s leader, is being held after five years. It served as a crucial platform for the government to engage with international leaders and businesses, attracting investments to the state. While it contributed to shaping the narrative of the Gujarat growth model, questions persist about its applicability as a national model.
