PM Narendra Modi inaugurates Rs 9,600-crore development projects in Gorakhpur, UP

In a major boost for the development of the eastern Uttar Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated a range of projects worth Rs 9,600 crore in Gorakhpur on Tuesday. The three important projects inaugurated by the Prime Minister are - Hindustan Urvarak Rasayan Ltd fertiliser plant, ICMR's Regional Medical Research Centre. Besides, he dedicated an All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) to the nation.

To recall, the Hindustan Urvarak Rasayan Ltd fertiliser plant has been revived by the government after remaining shut for over 30 years. In fact, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for the project in July 2016. According to the government, the plant will help the country in becoming Aatmanirbhar in urea production.

Addressing a rally after the inauguration of projects in Gorakhpur, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the urea availability has improved now in the country.

5 साल पहले मैं यहां एम्स और खाद कारखाने का शिलान्यास करने आया था।

आज इन दोनों का एक साथ लोकार्पण करने का सौभाग्य भी आपने मुझे ही दिया है।

ICMR के रीजनल मेडिकल रिसर्च सेंटर को भी आज अपनी नई बिल्डिंग मिली है।
