Ahmedabad: Gujarat’s very own Hardik Pandya and the rising cricket star who shone during the Asia Cup, Tilak Varma, will soon be featured in a podcast. This podcast will be released as part of Vikas Saptah celebrations by the Gujarat government, marking 24 years since Prime Minister Narendra Modi first assumed office as Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2001.

Announcing the various events to be held during the Saptah, State Spokesperson Minister Rushikesh Patel stated that from 7th to 15th October, a range of flagship programs will be organized at Sabarmati Riverfront. These will include exhibitions of key government schemes, online quiz competitions, essay contests in schools and colleges, lecture series, padayatras at prominent locations, and daily “Namotsav” cultural events.

As part of the celebrations, a special podcast featuring Hardik Pandya and Tilak Varma will be held. Additionally, at Maharaja Sayajirao University, Vadodara, over 1,000 students will participate in a discussion on youth involvement in realizing the vision of “Viksit Bharat @2047.”

Similar programs will also be conducted at 50 other locations across the State during the week, encouraging youth participation and engagement in development initiatives. DeshGujarat
