Shri Modi inaugurates Gujarat’s first agro mall in Surat
On the evening of Wednesday 12th June 2013 Shri Narendra Modi inaugurated Gujarat’s first agro mall, Krishi Bazar in Surat. Shri Modi profusely lauded this initiative, described it as a new start for the nation and said that with an agro mall like this, the farmer and the consumer stand to gain immensely. He also thanked the media for extensively covering this mall and giving an idea to the viewers as to what this initiative is about.
Talking about the benefits this agro mall gives to the farmers, Shri Modi said that the mall would give the farmer a chance to directly interface with the consumer without any middleman. He also remarked that the farmer is as much a producer as he is a consumer and that in this agro mall, he can not only sell his produce but also buy essentials like oil, spices etc that the farmer requires for his own home. He pointed that this is a mall that can solve a lot of problems. He spoke about the large potential of a mall like this, vis-à-vis the rising demand for organic food etc. Shri Modi talked about the concept of a virtual mall where the consumer sees the virtual image of the products he or she wants to buy and can make the purchase on the click of a mouse. In a lighter vein, Shri Modi also said that he saw an entire department dedicated to ingredients of making the popular delicacy, Undhiya and added that he is sure this particular section will always remain full.
The Chief Minister launched a no holds barred attack on the Congress-led UPA for their failure to check rising prices. He said, “Price rise is a big problem but just like the Centre is not concerned about corruption, it is not concerned about rising prices.” He recalled that about two-two and a half years ago the Prime Minister had called for a meeting of Chief Ministers to discuss price rise where various committees were formed and Shri Modi himself was made the head of a committee. However, he shared that the committee gave 64 actionable points, no action has been taken. He remarked that there might be a need to make a new committee to even find out what happened to that report!
Shri Modi stated that one of the suggestions he gave was the trifurcation of the Food Corporation of India with each of the new entity looking at procurement, management and distribution. Shri Modi opined that till this is done under one head, nothing much can be expected. He recalled that the power sector of Gujarat faced similar problem when he took over but after dividing the work, the results were phenomenal. “We brought professionalism in the power sector, divided the work and the results are very good. I had said the same for FCI,” he affirmed.
