Vallabh Vidyanagar : Development is not possible without education said, chief minister Vijay Rupani. Chief Minister Vijay Rupani has said that education is an important contributor to the foundation of development. He added that if we want to talk about Gujarat’s development journey, we have to remember Narasinh Mehta’s kartal in the field of spirituality, Gandhiji’s strike against exploitation of workers and Swaminarayan’s Vadtal in the field of religion education. Chief Minister Vijay Rupani laid the foundation stone of Shri Laxminarayan Dev Vadtal’s Shri Swaminarayan main temple run hostel and temple at Vallabha vidyanagar in the presence of Acharya Maharaj Rakesh Prasadji. The hostel will provide free accommodation and meals to one thousand students. The hostel will be a blessing for students from poor and ordinary families. The Chief Minister said that the 21st century is the century of knowledge, the scope of education is being expanded in the state so that the youth of Gujarat can get world class education and speak face to face with the world. Which will make Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s dream of building a self-reliant India and a new India come true.

He added that the Gurukul to be built here away from home and family will also inculcate the sacraments along with the education and initiation of the students. It is a matter of special pleasure that this hostel is being constructed not only in Gujarat or India but also in the country and abroad in the famous Vallabh Vidyanagar. He added that Vallabh Vidyanagar, near the Karmabhoomi Karamsad of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the sculptor of a united India, is a town developed by Bhai kaka and Bhikhabhai Saheb with the blessings of Charutar Vidyamandal. Students studying in this hostel will be instilled with the sacraments along with education and they will become true citizens of the country. Nitya swaroop Swami of Sardhar temple said that the hostel and the temple are being constructed today by maintaining the tradition of doing many social service works since the time of Lord Swaminarayan which is a matter of joy. Here students will become the best citizens of the country by acquiring knowledge with sacraments.
