By setting up solid waste management plants, the Gujarat government will run a pilot project in 50 cities to generate power, fertiliser and reusable water, said the State Chief Minister Narendra Modi. The State's rural areas will get the power, reusable water and fertilisers produced in these plants for usage in agriculture.
Modi said this while addressing Vibrant Gujarat's National Summit on Inclusive Urban Development programme in Ahmedabad on October 18. This is a part of a two-way strategy in which both urban as well as rural areas gain, Modi said.
The programme will also cut the flow of migrants into urban areas as these steps will result in the long term development of rural areas, he said. Gujarat government will work with Japanese agencies for development of some of these plants by utilising cutting edge technology from Japan, the CM added.
