‘As I am resident of Gujarat, I would give example of Sardar Sarovar Dam.’
‘Sardar Patel had saw dream of such dam over mother Narmada, Pandit Nehru had laid foundation stone, but for decades, the project continued to stuck in false propaganda and agitations in the name of environment issues. Courts too were reluctant in making decisions. World Bank also refused to grant money. But same Narmada waters finally resulted into development of Kutch. Today Kutch is one of fast developing districts of India. Kutch in a way is an area with large desert. It has not got its place among fast developing areas. It was once known as desert. It was once known for migration of people. Today same Kutch is making its identity with agro export, what can be greater green award than this?’ DeshGujarat
