PM mentions city’s greening project, Science City in Mann Ki Baat

Ahmedabad: In the latest episode of Mann Ki Baat, the podcast by PM Narendra Modi, Ahmedabad was mentioned twice for its greening project and Science City.
"During the last few years, more than 70 lakh trees were planted in the Ahmedabad city of Gujarat. These trees increased the green area in Ahmedabad to a great extent. Along with that, the number of water bodies also increased here due to the construction of the riverfront on the Sabarmati River and the reconstruction of some lakes such as the Kankaria Lake," the PM said in the podcast, adding that the city is at the forefront of fighting global warming.
While giving the example of a Science Centre at Dantewada in Chhattisgarh and how it can inculcate interest in science, technology and innovation, the PM remembered the Gujarat Science City in Ahmedabad.
"Some time ago, I also inaugurated science galleries at Gujarat Science City. They provide a glimpse of the potential of modern science and how much it can do for us. I was informed that the children there are very excited about these galleries. This growing attraction towards science and innovation will surely take India to new heights," said PM Modi.
