PM Modi Makes Surprise Sunday Visit To PM GatiShakti Anubhuti Kendra At Bharat Mandapam

In a surprise Sunday visit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the PM GatiShakti Anubhuti Kendra at Bharat Mandapam. The visit marked the third anniversary of the launch of PM GatiShakti. The Anubhuti Kendra highlights key achievements and milestones of the initiative.

PM Modi praised the progress in project planning and execution across sectors under PM GatiShakti. He noted how it is driving the vision of a developed India (Viksit Bharat) by accelerating infrastructure development.

Key Infrastructure Achievements

Using the National Master Plan, 156 gaps in first and last mile connectivity in major sectors like coal, steel, and ports have been identified. The Ministry of Railways alone has planned over 400 projects and 27,000 km of railway lines in a year. Digital surveys now speed up and improve project planning accuracy.

The Network Planning Group (NPG) is coordinating cross-ministry efforts, with 213 projects worth ₹15.48 lakh crore evaluated in 81 meetings. The whole-of-government approach is demonstrated with 1529 data layers integrated from 44 ministries and 36 states and UTs.

Impact on Social Sectors and Collaboration

PM GatiShakti has also mapped 45 lakh members of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) and over 10 lakh Anganwadi Centres to enhance nutritional focus. The framework is guiding district-specific skill training and school mapping for better infrastructure planning.

International collaboration is also growing, with knowledge-sharing MoUs progressing with Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. PM Modi also visited the ODOP Anubhuti Kendra and commended the One District One Product initiative for promoting regional products.
