JAMMU, Jan 15: Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah will inaugurate several development projects worth crores in Vadnagar, a historic city in Gujarat’s Mehsana district, on January 16, 2025.
These projects, including the Archaeological Experience Museum (Puratatva Anubhav Sangrahalay), Prerna Sankul and a modern Sports Complex, aim to provide a unique and enriching experience for tourists visiting the city.
Vadnagar, among Gujarat’s oldest cities, has a rich history that spans over 2,500 years. Despite its historical significance, Vadnagar remained relatively unknown until Narendra Modi, born in this city, became the Prime Minister of India.
Now, Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to inaugurate three new development projects, further boosting the city’s growth and tourism appeal.
Amit Shah will inaugurate the Archaeological Experience Museum in Vadnagar, India’s first of its kind. The museum spans over 2,500 years of human evolution and is directly linked to an active excavation site by a bridge.
Built at an estimated cost of Rs 298 crore, this four-storey structure covers around 12,500 square meters. It houses more than 5,000 artefacts that showcase the city’s ancient history and cultural wealth.
Union Home Minister will dedicate the ‘Prerna Sankul’ to the nation, a project built at a cost of Rs 72 crore. This initiative focuses on renovating the historic primary school in Vadnagar, where our Prime Minister received his early education.
Amit Shah will inaugurate a sports complex in Vadnagar, designed to offer world-class training facilities for athletes and improve their performance.
Built at a cost of Rs 33.50 crore, the sports complex includes a variety of indoor sports amenities and outdoor facilities, such as an 8-lane, 400-meter synthetic athletic track, an astroturf football field and dedicated spaces for kabaddi, kho-kho, and volleyball.
Construction of a hostel is also underway, providing accommodation for 100 boys and 100 girls.
