She said that successful experiments of agricultural development in Gujarat are being adopted all over the country.”, she added.
Murmu also stated that for a very long time, the geographical location of Gujarat, especially in parts of Kutch, North Gujarat, and Saurashtra, water scarcity had caused great problems for the people. But today that situation has changed completely. She expressed her confidence that the projects which are inaugurated and for which foundation stones were laid today, will create new employment and business opportunities for farmers and entrepreneurs.
