Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Swaminarayan Museum depicting vivid and rare images and artifacts of 250-year-old life and times of Bhagwan Sahajanand Swami at a function in Ahmedabad today.
The museum comprising a dozen halls has been built with eco-friendly technology like solar energy on a 6-acre plot at a cost of Rs.35-crore in the Naranpura locality for the devotees, giving form to the dreams of Kalupur Bhagwan Shri Narayandev head Tejendraprasadji Maharaj's resolution. He belongs to the sixth generation of Bhagwan Swaminarayan.
Addressing a huge religious gathering on the occasion, Mr. Modi said the museum reflects a divine fusion of spirituality, faith and modernism. It should serve as a centre of cultural tourism in Gujarat, too.
He said the saints have always paid a crucial role in preaching service above self to the mankind. He wished the museum helps the new generation utilize the ancient wisdom for sustainable development of the natural resources.
Earlier, Tejendraprasadji Maharaj and Acharya Kaushalendraprasadji welcomed Mr. Modi and blessed him as an exemplary ruler.

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, today has approved the Revised Total Capital Cost of Rs.3630.77 crore for the Construction of Greenfield Connectivity to Jewar International Airport from Delhi-Faridabad-Ballabhgarh-Sohna Spur of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway on Hybrid Annuity Mode in the States of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana.
This 31.42 km long project corridor will provide direct and high-speed connectivity from South Delhi, Faridabad and Gurugram to Jewar International Airport, thereby promoting economic growth and logistics efficiency across National Capital Region (NCR).
The corridor intersects Eastern Peripheral Expressway, Yamuna Expressway, and Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC), enabling multimodal transport convergence. The elevated corridor is not merely a structural enhancement but a strategic enabler for urban transformation, regional connectivity, and national logistics efficiency. Its construction is imperative to unlock the full potential of the Jewar Airport–Delhi–Mumbai Expressway corridor and to ensure sustainable urban development in Faridabad.
About 11 km length of this project is to be developed as elevated highway which forms a critical segment of the Greenfield connectivity between DND-Ballabhgarh Bypass and Jewar International Airport, linking it to the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. This corridor traverses the area earmarked for high-density urban development and future infrastructure expansion under the Faridabad Master Plan, 2031. The additional cost of the proposed elevated corridor is Rs.689.24 crore and the Government of Haryana has agreed to bear Rs.450 crore for elevated corridor.
