Gujarat Deputy CM holds ‘Matru Samvad’ programme with women associated with Sakhi Mandals, Gruh Udyog in Nadiad

Gandhinagar (Gujarat) [India], September 19 (ANI): As part of the ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan 2026’, a ‘Matru Samvad’ programme was held in the presence of Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi at Uttarsanda in Nadiad of Kheda district, with women associated with Sakhi Mandals and Gruh Udyog. He arrived at the venue after a motorcycle yatra from Gandhinagar with youth workers, according to a release. 
Speaking at the programme organised at Shreeji Papad Gruh Udyog, Deputy CM Harsh Sanghavi highlighted Nari Shakti and women’s self-reliance and said, “The main objective of this Seva Yatra is to visit villages and seek the blessings of elders, conduct cleanliness campaigns, undertake cow service and serve at old-age homes.”

Today, the challenging task of providing water to every village and farm, along with 24-hour electricity supply, has been completed, bringing prosperity to villages and agriculture. He urged citizens and women present to actively contribute to the ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan’ and make villages plastic-free and clean.
