In a strategic move aimed at boosting development and gaining favour with voters in Gujarat, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel laid the foundation for around 55 projects across various departments, amounting to an investment of Rs 3.14 billion. This initiative, unfolding in Singvad, Dahod district, coincided with Rahul Gandhi's ?Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra?, marking a significant moment in the state's political and developmental narrative.

The inauguration took place amidst Rahul Gandhi's Yatra in Gujarat. As Rahul Gandhi?s ?Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra? entered Gujarat from Dahod district on March 8, it highlighted the ongoing political engagements intended to unify and address the nation's justice system. Gandhi?s journey through the tribal heartlands of Gujarat, including districts like Dahod, Panchmahal, Bharuch, Narmada, Surat, and Tapi, spanned four days, showcasing his commitment to tribal and marginalised communities. This event was not merely a political statement but also a catalyst for subsequent developmental initiatives. In response to the political landscape, Gujarat's Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel initiated a spree of developmental activities. His visit to Dahod was characterised by the inauguration of a Nursing College in Singwad, representing a significant step towards expanding educational opportunities for the local youth. Such initiatives underscored the government's emphasis on fostering access to education within tribal regions, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of 'Surajya Sushasan' (Good Governance).
