It\u2019s a clean-energy nod from the man who turned a patch of tribal land into a global landmark. By evening, he\u2019ll be unveiling and launching infrastructure projects worth over \u20b91,140 crore \u2013 each one designed to make Ekta Nagar smarter, greener, and more connected.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These aren\u2019t just ribbon-cutting ceremonies; they\u2019re part of a bigger play.

Each brick, each beam adds up to one message \u2013 Gujarat\u2019s progress doesn\u2019t wait for permission.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The PM will also lay the foundation stone for ambitious future attractions \u2013 <\/span><b>Museum of Royal Kingdoms of India<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>Veer Balak Udyan<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>Rain Forest Project<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and even <\/span><b>travelators<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at the Statue of Unity. Tourism meets tech, with a dash of pride.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And because India doesn\u2019t do \u201csmall\u201d when it comes to symbolism, the Prime Minister will release a <\/span><b>\u20b9150 commemorative coin and stamp<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> marking Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel\u2019s 150th birth anniversary.

Contingents from <\/span><b>BSF, CRPF, CISF, ITBP, and SSB<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, alongside state police forces, will march in full glory. But this year, one contingent is stealing the spotlight \u2013 <\/span><b>BSF\u2019s all-Indian breed dog unit<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, featuring <\/span><b>Rampur Hounds and Mudhol Hounds<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Triple check.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And let\u2019s be honest \u2013 there\u2019s more at play here than ceremonial optics.
