Shah is also expected to hold discussions with members of the Dahegam APMC Board to review the institution’s progress and exchange views on strengthening cooperative-led agricultural development.

Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, Dahegam APMC Chairman Sumeru Amin, representatives from the cooperative sector, market committee members and other senior dignitaries are expected to attend the function.

The event underscores the government’s continued focus on expanding agricultural infrastructure, promoting cooperative institutions and creating better market opportunities for farmers across the country.
