Gujarat govt names 3 new schemes after RSS ideologues

The function was held hours before the arrival of Chinese President Xi Jinping in Ahmedabad, which is the first stop of his three-day tour.
Showering praise on Modi for Xi’s visit here, Chief Minister Anandiben Patel said, “It’s a matter of pride that the head of state of an economic superpower is today visiting a city like Ahmedabad.”

While she said the schemes were “unique gifts” from Modi on his 64th birthday, Modi said that September 17 was celebrated across the country as Vishwakarma Day this year.  The day falls on the Kanya Sankranti Day as per the Hindu calendar and celebrates Vishwakarma, the greatest architect in Indian mythology. Modi distributed tablets to youths, grants and aid to women cattle breeders and housing aid to construction labourers under various schemes.
