Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to address 'valedictory session' of Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference in Vadodara
New Delhi, June 30
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will attend Vadodara in Gujarat on Tuesday to address the valedictory session of the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference.
In a post on X, the Defence Minister said he was looking forward to participating in the concluding session of the conference.
"Today, 30th June, I shall be in Vadodara, Gujarat. Looking forward to address the 'Valedictory Session' of the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference," Rajnath Singh posted.
Earlier on Monday, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel inaugurated the fourth edition of the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference (VGRC) for the Central Gujarat region in Vadodara, describing the initiative as a major step towards strengthening industrial growth and positioning Central Gujarat as a global manufacturing and innovation hub.
Addressing industrialists, investors and entrepreneurs, the Chief Minister said India has witnessed rapid progress across sectors under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose vision and commitment to implementing forward-looking ideas have accelerated the country's economic and industrial development.
"India is progressing rapidly in every sector because of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's unique vision and his commitment to implementing forward-thinking ideas. Under his leadership, countries across the world have developed trusted partnerships with India, and this confidence continues to grow," Patel said.
He said the State Government has adopted the Prime Minister's vision of balanced development by taking the Vibrant Gujarat initiative beyond the flagship global summit and organising regional conferences to showcase district-level industrial strengths and investment opportunities.
"The Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference is not merely an investment platform but a strong bridge connecting local industries with global opportunities. I urge industrial leaders, investors and entrepreneurs to convert discussions into decisions, ideas into projects and projects into prosperity," the Chief Minister said.

But sir, we also need to see ground-level implementation. Many small entrepreneurs in tier-2 cities still struggle with paperwork and loans. Hope these conferences lead to actual ease of doing business, not just photo ops.
Vibrant Gujarat has truly put our state on the global map. From Dhirubhai Ambani to today's startups, Gujarat has always been business-friendly. This regional conference approach is smart - takes development to every district. 👏
I appreciate the intent but why involve Defence Minister in a trade conference? Rajnath Singh should focus on border security and modernisation. This feels like mixing politics with governance. Just my two paise.
Fantastic initiative! As a small business owner from Vadodara, I can tell you these conferences bring real opportunities. Last year we got three international partnerships. This government means business. 🚀
The concept of regional conferences is excellent. Instead of everyone going to Gandhinagar, they bring the summit to local talent. This is how we build Atmanirbhar Bharat - one district at a time. Chalo Gujarat! ✨
CM Patel's vision of "discussions into decisions, ideas into projects" is exactly what India needs.
