Modi inaugurates E-village

Special Correspondent

GANDHINAGAR: Gujarat celebrated the 49th foundation day of the State on Thursday with fanfare at the Saurashtra town of Amreli.

Governor Nawal Kishore Sharma, Chief Minister Narendra Modi, and his entire Cabinet and top bureaucrats attended the function.

The ceremony was organised in Amreli to take the public festivities outside Gandhinagar to involve more people. The Congress organised a parallel rally in Gandhinagar.

On Thursday, Mr. Modi inaugurated the “E-village” scheme providing Internet connectivity to all the 590 odd villages in the district. He spoke to people in several villages through video conferencing. He coined a word “Rurban,” a mixture of rural and urban having “soul of rural areas with infrastructure facilities of urban areas” for the e-connected villages.
