PM Modi inaugurates Jain museum, semiconductor plant in Gujarat | India News

“We are correcting the mistakes of previous governments, which failed to preserve valuable manuscripts,” he said after inaugurating the museum.“Given the current global scenario – the way the world is being scorched in the fires of instability and unrest – the legacy and message of this museum hold immense significance,” he added.The prime minister further said that the museum reflected India’s diversity, bringing together traditions like the Vedas, Puranas, Ayurveda and Yoga. “This is something that could happen only in India,” he said, pointing to the seven galleries that showcase cultural and spiritual heritage.Speaking about preservation of knowledge, PM Modi said India lost a large part of its heritage when centres like Takshashila and Nalanda were destroyed and manuscripts were burnt. He said people later protected what remained by passing them down through generations.The prime minister also inaugurated a Rs 3,300 crore semiconductor plant by Kaynes Technology at Sanand GIDC in Ahmedabad.The facility is the second such plant in the country and is being seen as an important step in India’s semiconductor sector. It is part of the government’s semiconductor mission and is expected to support its expansion.The development follows earlier steps in the sector. Gujarat’s Science and Technology minister Arjun Modhwadia said on Monday that the project marks India’s entry into a new technological phase. “With this second unit, we are entering the era of this futuristic industry,” he said.In February, PM Modi had also inaugurated a semiconductor plant by Micron Technology, as part of efforts to build domestic capacity in chip manufacturing.
