Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh’s upcoming Global Investors Summit will create a new record and prove to be historic in terms of investment for the state, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said on Saturday.
The eighth edition of the biennial GIS will be held in the state capital Bhopal on February 24-25. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to inaugurate the event.
“Tomorrow is a historic day as Prime Minister Narendra Modi is arriving in the state and will stay overnight at the Raj Bhavan (in Bhopal),” Yadav told reporters after reviewing preparations for the GIS at Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya here.
He said the PM would interact with MPs, MLAs, and BJP functionaries and also hold an organizational meeting.
Prior to visiting Manav Sangrahalaya, Yadav also reviewed preparations at the Kusha Bhau Thakre International Convention Center, where Modi is scheduled to hold the organizational meeting.
“The Global Investors Summit is going to create a new record and in the future, these dates will prove to be historic in terms of investment for the state,” the chief minister said, adding that the preparations are in the last phase.
The people of Bhopal and Madhya Pradesh are waiting to welcome PM Modi and investors from the world over, he said.
Answering a question, Yadav said that the vision of the GIS is to ensure benefits to youths, the poor, women, and farmers through industrial investment.
The chief minister said such big events will continue to be held in Bhopal in the future as organizing them in the state capital has its own importance.
After the conclusion of the GIS, the government will organise such meets at the district level on the lines of the Regional Industry Conclaves held ahead of the Global Investors Meet, he said.
PM Modi is scheduled to arrive in Bageshwar Dham, a religious site in Chattarpur district, on Sunday to lay the foundation stone of the Medical and Science Research Institute. He will arrive in Bhopal in the evening to take part in the organizational meeting, an official said.
Modi will stay overnight in Bhopal and inaugurate the GIS-2025 in the state capital on Monday, the official added.
