Rurbanisation is modelled on the concept of creating "big villages" with rural soul but with an urban feel andall facilities that a city has, he said.
Dholera, a port city, is located 140 kms from here in the Gulf of Khambat coastline in Dhandhuka taluka. Thestate government is planning to develop it as a Special Investment Region (SIR).
Emphasising the need to develop twin cities, the chief minister cited instances of how Surat-Navsari,Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar, Surendranagar-Vadhwan, Bharuch-Ankleshwar and Vadodara-Halol and Kalolwere developed as twin cities by ensuring total and inclusive growth in both the cities.
"Urbanisation was considered a big problem when it initially set in and there was a fear associated with urbancities. However, people and government considered urbanisation as an opportunity and welcomed it", Modisaid.
He said the state government was focusing on 'rurbanisation" as it considers it was important to provideamenities available in urban centres in rural areas as well.
"Providing Urban Amenities to Rural Areas (PURA) is a vision of former President of India A P J Abdul Kalamand Gujarat will be the first state to achieve this vision", he added.
