“After the 2001 Kutch earthquake, in the midst of the destruction, I had spoken about redevelopment of Kutch and we worked hard for it. Today, you are witnessing the results,” he said.
He claimed that many people even believed that Kutch will not be able to recover but people changed the scenario.
“You may see many deficiencies in India now, but I can clearly visualize that by 2047, India will be a developed nation,” he added.
