Kalam for establishment of PURA complexes in Gujarat 

Champaner, Nov 11: President A P J Abdul Kalam on Saturday asked Gujarat Government to consider establishment of 300 PURA (Providing Urban Facilities in Rural Areas) complexes which will cover 18,000 villages and encourage reverse migration to rural areas.

Kalam, while addressing a huge gathering of more than one lakh people here, said, "the uninterrupted 24-hour, three-phase, power supply to 18,000 villages can lead to creation of 300 PURA complexes and further enhance the overall scheme activities and prosperity of Gujarat as a whole."

The President also dedicated Gujarat Government's 'Jyoti Gram Yojana' to the nation under which three phase power supply is given to three crore people staying in all the 18,000 villages of the state, 24 hours a day.

Gujarat is the first state in the country, which has given power supply to all its villages and Kalam complimented the state government for this achievement.
