Khandu and his delegation, which includes Arunachal Pradesh health minister Alo Libang and members of his state’s “Community-based Organisations (CBOs)” are on a Gujarat visit from Monday and they held an interactive session with Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, said a release by the western state’s government.

“Our CBOs and leaders from different tribes got wonderful exposure throughout the tours, knowledge sharing and interaction sessions. By replicating the Gujarat model of tourism and ecosystem built for the development of tribal people, our state can benefit economically,” said Khandu in a tweet after meeting the Gujarat International Finance Tec (GIFT) City in Gandhinagar.

He also appreciated the ‘Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Rashtriya Ekta Trust’ for “empowering tribal women by training them to drive Pink Autos (at Statue of Unity) and helping them stand on their own feet at Kevadia”.

Khandu termed GIFT City a “futuristic city built on the foundation of sustainability which presents an unprecedented ecosystem for crucial economic development”.
