Health Minister Prafulbhai Pansheriya’s Address

He praised Surat’s elected representatives for their dedication towards the city’s development, noting that many often sacrifice family time in service of the public.
Referring to banking accessibility, he said that while opening a bank account was once a cumbersome process, institutions like The Varachha Co-operative Bank have made it significantly easier. He also congratulated the honoured students and expressed hope that they would continue to excel and earn recognition in the future.
Highlighting educational advancements in Gujarat, he stated that more than 1.21 lakh smart classrooms have been established across the state, providing students with access to modern learning infrastructure.
Discussing healthcare development, he announced plans for a state-of-the-art 1,500-bed hospital spread across 150 bighas of land in the Kamrej region. Additionally, a Spine and Super Specialty Hospital is proposed near the recent aircraft accident site.
He further noted that Surat Municipal Corporation is performing commendably and continues to advance development initiatives aligned with Prime Minister Modi’s vision. Modern technologies are also being integrated into the city’s drainage and water management systems.
The Minister added that nearly 3,000 tribal families in the SUDA region near Kamrej have been provided housing, describing it as a significant example of inclusive development and public service.
Guidance for Youth and Social Service
Prafulbhai Pansheriya emphasised the importance of introducing the values and teachings of the Bhagavad Gita to students from Classes 9 to 12, stating that spiritual strength brings peace and direction in life.
He urged young people to pursue a path of service-oriented and socially responsible leadership rather than focusing solely on personal achievement or political success.
