Revolutionizing Gujarat’s Tourism:
During his tenure as Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi pioneered the concept of riverfront development in India. The renowned Sabarmati Riverfront, conceptualized and realized under his leadership, has become a symbol of Gujarat’s tourism industry, gaining acclaim not only within India but across the globe. The riverfront has not only raised the water level but has also emerged as a vibrant hub for diverse social and cultural activities catering to people of all age groups.
The Launch of ‘Akshar River Cruise’:
Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah recently inaugurated the ‘Made in India Akshar River Cruise’ on the Sabarmati Riverfront. This project, developed by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation and the Sabarmati Riverfront Development Corporation Limited, aims to provide a novel experience to both the citizens of Ahmedabad and tourists. Shri Amit Shah emphasized that the visionary idea of the riverfront was conceived by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his tenure as the Chief Minister. The Akshar River Cruise, a luxurious catamaran built in India under the Make in India initiative at a cost of ₹15 crore, is expected to attract visitors with its state-of-the-art features and comfortable amenities.
A Center for Tourism and Entertainment:
The Akshar River Cruise, with a capacity to accommodate 165 passengers, features a restaurant and is equipped with 180 life safety jackets, fire safety measures, and an emergency rescue boat. Shri Amit Shah highlighted that Prime Minister Modi has always prioritized the development of tourism in Gujarat and Ahmedabad. Through significant investments, the tourism ecosystem in Gujarat has flourished, encompassing improved connectivity, enhanced pilgrimage routes, and upgraded airport access to tourist destinations.
Gujarat’s Rising Prominence:

Notable achievements include the inauguration of a light and sound show at Ambaji, the hoisting of the flag at Pavagadh temple after 500 years, the national recognition of Madhavpur fair, and the establishment of a tent city in White Rann, Kutch, for the international tourists. These developments, along with the construction of the Kankaria pond and the Sabarmati Riverfront, have contributed to the creation of a robust tourism ecosystem.
