Amit Shah, the Union Minister for Home and Cooperation, today inaugurated SeemaDarshan’s newly constructed tourism facilities in Nadabet, Gujarat’s Banaskantha district. Amit Shah addressed the SainikSammelan at the Nadabet Border Outpost and interacted with the jawans. Several dignitaries attended the event, including Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and the Director-General of the Border Security Force (BSF).
The Union Home Minister Amit Shah said in his speech that any border guarding organization, particularly the BSF, has a difficult job. In the midst of sand storms, scorching heat, and extreme cold, BSF personnel are guarding the country’s 6,385-kilometer border, fulfilling the mantra of lifelong duty with concentration.
Since Narendra Modi took office as Prime Minister, systematic efforts have been made to propel the country to the top of the world in every field. This effort will be successful because Border Security Force personnel guard our borders with impenetrable security, allowing development to take place while they protect the borders. This is the border, he said, where BSF and Army personnel have displayed exceptional bravery.
The Border Security Force snatched about 1,000 square kilometers from Pakistan during the battle and won. The BSF was also involved in administration and organization for a long time until a settlement was reached. The BSF began with 25 battalions in 1965 and has grown to a force of 2,65,000 personnel with 193 battalions and 60 artillery regiments today. The country and its citizens believe that this organization and its 2,65,000-strong force are our security guarantees.
Infiltration should be stopped
Infiltration should be stopped in the Kashmir Valley, and internal security in the North-East and some LWE areas should be maintained, according to the Union Home Minister, while maintaining cordial relations between the two countries along the India-Bangladesh International Border. Even in the difficult area of the creek, security must be maintained; there will be no other border guarding force working in such difficult conditions than the BSF.
The Gujarat government has spent Rs. 125 crore on the Seema Darshan program in Nadabet, according to Amit Shah. After witnessing the heroics of the BSF here, children should imbibe a sense of respect for our border guarding force as a rite of passage, and they should also decide to contribute to the country’s security. The Gujarat government is now planning to make Nadabet the primary focus of tourism for all students in grades 5 through 8.
The message of the BSF’s sacrifice, dedication, sacrifice, and valor will reach civil society as a result, and when children grow up, they will remember this honor for the rest of their lives.
The Gujarat government is also planning living convenience in the surrounding areas, and everyone in Gujarat is encouraged to spend at least two days on the outskirts of Banaskantha, as only then will they be able to comprehend the difficulties of border areas.
Amit Shah had earlier wished all the countrymen a happy Ram Navami after inaugurating the newly constructed tourist facilities for Seema Darshan at Nadabet, saying that Ram Navami is the end of Chaitya Navratri as well as the birthday of a historic personality. This festival is observed by millions of people in their homes. He claimed that Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram’s life is the best model for how one should act in all aspects of life.
Lord Shri Ram lived a life in which he demonstrated without saying a word how to be an ideal son, ideal husband, ideal king, and ideal commander in order for people to live for a long time. That is why he is so revered today; we all worship him as God and strive to follow in his footsteps.
Border Security Force jawans, according to the Union Home Minister, guard the country’s most difficult borders and protect it by putting their lives on the line in dangerous situations. On behalf of the nation, I’d like to pay tribute to them by remembering all of those who have died. He said, “Today, on behalf of the entire country, I want to thank everyone who has fulfilled the slogan of lifelong duty, from the BSF jawan to the DG, and salute their bravery.”
Amit Shah stated that whenever the country has faced a crisis, the BSF has always acted valiantly. BSF carries one Mahavir Chakra, four Kirti Chakras, thirteen Vir Chakras, thirteen Shaurya Chakras, and the saga of many sacrifices, and the entire nation is proud of their valor.
At this border darshan of Nadabet, Amit Shah said he wanted to acknowledge Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s imagination. It is impossible to comprehend and appreciate the Prime Minister’s vision unless one has personally visited this location. Only after we arrive here and travel to Nadabet’s full demonstration site, as well as from here to the border, will we be able to see how our border guards protect us in difficult conditions.
Coming here will instill patriotism, as well as a sense of belonging to our armed forces and the safety of our borders, in the children. When people come here, he says, tourism will be boosted, a major problem of migration from border villages will be solved, and job opportunities will be created, and this is the beginning of the process by which the country’s development will reach the last village on the border. Amit Shah estimates that in ten years, this sector of Nadabet will employ at least five lakh people in the Banaskantha district.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, according to the Union Home and Cooperation Minister, has built three arrival plazas for tourists with furniture and interior work, created rest areas, built an auditorium with a capacity of 500 people, provided changing rooms, built 22 shops and restaurants, installed decorative lighting, and 30% of the electricity here is solar-powered, resulting in a modern sector. Here, children’s play areas and a 100-foot-high tricolor will be the main attractions.
There are six galleries that take the visitor on a tour of the country’s borders. There is also a gallery for Gujarat tourism as well as a gallery for Nadabet and Banaskantha. There will also be a gallery displaying the three wings of the British Special Forces: Marines, Air Force, and Artillery.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, according to Amit Shah, has a dream for border tourism. The Beating Retreat ceremony will be the main attraction here. He stated that he is confident that this program will achieve the three goals of border security through border tourism, communication between people and border guards, and a sense of attraction in people’s minds toward border guards. Narendra Modi, according to Amit Shah, has taken steps to improve the security and infrastructure of our borders.
He expressed his best wishes to all people, particularly the people of Banaskantha, and stated that thanks to Nadabet, Banaskantha will now become a center of attraction not only for Gujarat but also for people all over the country. It will also provide tourism facilities within the country, allowing people all over India to witness the BSF’s valor up close and personal.
