Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah, along with Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Patel and other dignitaries, inaugurated the ‘Swaminarayan Institute of Medical Science and Research’ at the Shri Swaminarayan Vishwamangal Gurukul in Kalol, Gandhinagar, Gujarat. This significant development marks a pivotal moment in the advancement of medical education and healthcare services in the region.
During the inauguration, Shri Amit Shah highlighted the contributions of the Swaminarayan sect to society, emphasizing its role in education, social reform, and healthcare.

Shri Amit Shah pointed out the crucial role of the new institute in the healthcare sector, mentioning that 100 students have already taken admission. The institution plans to offer MD and MS postgraduate courses shortly, reflecting a significant step towards addressing the demand for qualified medical professionals in India.
The Union Home Minister underscored the philosophy of serving ‘Daridra Narayan’ (a term used to refer to serving the poor as equivalent to serving God) through healthcare. He praised the modern hospital built by the Swaminarayan Gurukul, which has been offering free services since the consecration of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya, showcasing a commitment to community service.

Furthermore, the Home Minister discussed the expansion of higher education institutions, including IITs, IIMs, and IIITs, under PM Modi’s tenure. This expansion has provided a platform for Indian youth to compete globally, particularly in the startup ecosystem, showcasing India’s growing influence on the world stage.
A groundbreaking initiative mentioned by Shri Shah was the introduction of medical and engineering studies in Indian languages, aiming to eliminate the language barrier in professional education. This move is expected to empower students from diverse linguistic backgrounds and promote national pride.
Shri Amit Shah also touched upon the government’s efforts in cultural and religious revival, citing the construction of the Ram Temple, Kashi Vishwanath Corridor, and other significant projects. These endeavors reflect a commitment to preserving India’s heritage and promoting its religious sites.
In conclusion, Shri Amit Shah expressed confidence in India’s youth and the country’s trajectory towards becoming a global leader by the centenary of its independence.
