Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday addressed the inauguration and foundation stone laying ceremony of several development projects at Shri Govind Guru University in Vinzol, Godhra, Gujarat via video message. Projects worth ₹125 crore, including a modern sports complex, were either inaugurated or launched at the event, marking a significant step forward in regional development.
In his address, Amit Shah termed the occasion a “momentous day in the history of Panchmahal,” and recalled that the establishment of the university in 2015 was a vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his tenure as Chief Minister of Gujarat. The institution, named after the revered tribal freedom fighter Govind Guru Ji, aims to serve as a beacon of inspiration, particularly for tribal youth.
Paying tribute to Govind Guru Ji, Shah highlighted his vital role in India’s freedom struggle. “Born into the Vanzara community, Govind Guru Ji fought bravely against British colonial rule and dreamed of a separate Bhil region. His legacy includes the sacrifice of 1,512 tribal men and women in the Mangarh resistance, giving the place a special place in India’s history,” Shah said.
Shah emphasised that under PM Modi’s leadership, Govind Guru Ji’s vision continues to guide India’s development, especially among tribal communities. He urged the youth to contribute actively to the Prime Minister’s goal of making India a developed nation by 2047.
As part of the day’s events, Amit Shah also participated in a tree plantation drive and inaugurated multiple development works in the Sanand Assembly constituency. These included a newly built primary school in Juval, the Panchayat Bhawan in Phangdi village, and the premises of Adarora Seva Sahkari Mandali. He also held interactions with industrialists from the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC), highlighting the government’s focus on industrial growth and grassroots development.
