Gujarat Chief Minister announces Rs.1,245-crore on new works for Junagadh district

Narendra Modi’s call “Give me support, I will give you development” to move on from Swaraj to Surajya

Ahmadabad, Monday: Recalling Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s famous slogan “Give me blood, I will give you Independence” on his birth anniversary, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today gave a call for “Give me support, I will give you development”.

Paying his rich tribute to Netaji on his birth anniversary, Mr. Modi said that brave leaders and great souls are born in every age but Netaji stood out as the tallest freedom fighter who just refused to toe the line of one family. Now that we have attained Independence, it is now our onerous duty to move on from Swaraj (Self-Rule) to Surajya (Good Governance).

Mr. Modi was rounding up his day-long Sadbhavna fast at at Somnath in Junagadh district, which coincided with Netaji’s birth anniversary. He began his fast after paying his obeisance at the famous Somnath temple on the auspicious occasion of Somvati Amavasya, New Moon falling on a Monday.

He recalled how the Somnath temple repeatedly withstood invaders’ bloodbath. He complimented the local Muslims as a measure of Sadbhavna gave their land for the development of the Somnath temple. He said that his Sadbhavna mission has joined the people through unity, peace and brotherhood, to take the state to new heights, irrespective of media taking cognizance of unprecedented support people are extending. Over 7,000 people from different regions of Sorath region joined him in his fast

Mr. Modi said that Gujarat’s 1,600-km long coastline has greatly contributed to the development as the gateway of the nation, and in the last 15 years the state has undergone a facelift. While the state’s fishermen contribute to the nation’s economy, he regretted that the Centre is oblivion to hundreds of Gujarati fishermen languishing in Pakistan jails.

He announced on the occasion new development works worth Rs.1,245-crore for Junagadh district. He had earlier announced a package of Rs,1,100-crore for Junagadh city.

Yuva Samvaad under Khelo India Dialogue to Focus on Five Key Themes: Sports, Olympic Aspirations, Youth Leadership, Viksit Bharat and Nasha Mukt Yuva

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will address Khelo India Dialogue on 27th August at 11 AM via video conferencing. The programme aims to help the youth engage with India's sporting journey, share their aspirations, and contribute ideas for a stronger youth-led Viksit Bharat.

Organised by Mera Yuva Bharat (MY Bharat), as part of the National Sports Day 2026 celebrations, the programme will be conducted across the country with participation of youth at two colleges in every district across States and Union Territories. The programme is being held in line with the Prime Minister's vision of building a fit, disciplined and sporting nation while placing the aspirations of youth at the centre of the national development agenda.

The nationwide Khelo India Dialogue will bring together sports, youth leadership, civic responsibility, volunteering, fitness and nation-building on a common platform. It will provide a direct channel for young people to engage with the country's sporting ambitions, while ensuring that their ideas and perspectives become part of the continuing conversation on India's youth and sports ecosystem.

The national programme will be followed by local interactions involving young participants, MY Bharat volunteers, local sportspersons and public representatives. A major feature of the initiative will be direct interaction between youth having interest in sports and leading Indian athletes and medal winners. A central feature of the programme will be Yuva Samvaad where Young participants will be invited to articulate their own ideas, perspectives and aspirations. The dialogue will be structured around five themes:

  • improving India's sports ecosystem through better facilities, coaching, sports science and inclusive participation;
  • nurturing talent for the 2036 Olympics via scientific talent identification, transparent selection and long-term athlete development;
  • creating youth leaders through governance platforms and MY Bharat-led volunteering;
  • empowering youth for Viksit Bharat by building civic mindedness, future-ready skills and structured volunteering;
  • promoting a Nasha Mukt Yuva movement that leverages sport and peer networks to fight substance abuse, reinforced by weekly Jan Bhagidari activities under PM's 100-week nationwide campaign launched on 2 August 2026.
