President Droupadi Murmu has started a three‑day official visit to Gujarat today, marking her first trip to the state since taking office.
President Droupadi Murmu arrived in Gujarat on Monday to commence a three‑day official tour of the western state. The itinerary, announced by the President's Secretariat, includes meetings with the state governor, chief minister, and local business leaders, as well as visits to key industrial and cultural sites.
The President is expected to review ongoing development projects, particularly in renewable energy and infrastructure, and to emphasize the central government's focus on inclusive growth in the region. Officials say the visit will also provide an opportunity to discuss cooperation between the Union and Gujarat on agricultural modernization and skill‑training initiatives.
Security arrangements have been tightened across major cities, with the President's convoy moving under the supervision of the Ministry of Home Affairs. The three‑day schedule concludes on Wednesday, after which President Murmu will return to New Delhi to resume her constitutional duties.
