He further added, “The organization is working towards the holistic development of youth by bringing together donors, industrialists, traders, and government schemes. The first and second phases of the project have been completed, where thousands of students reside. Further projects are ongoing in Rajkot, Surat, and Mehsana. There are also plans to establish Sardar Dham University.”
Former Gujarat minister Govardhan Jhadphia remarked, “This is not just a hostel or boarding facility. It has been developed as a comprehensive development center for youth, including coaching, startup support, vocational guidance, and skill development.”
He continued, “Community organizations will come together at the inauguration event, where the Prime Minister will be honored with the Sardar Ratna award. According to organizers, members of the Patidar community and dignitaries from across Gujarat are expected to attend the event in Vadodara, and a roadshow may also be organized from the airport to the Sardar Dham complex.
