Udaipur, Aug 29 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated, and laid the foundation stone of several major highway projects in Udaipur, Rajasthan, on Tuesday.

Speaking on the occasion, the Prime Minister said he is delighted to be in the "Veer Bhumi" of Mewar.

He assured the people affected by natural calamities, that the Union Government stood by them at this hour of difficulty.

The Prime Minister said that projects worth over  rupees 15,000 crore are either being Inaugurated or initiated (foundation stone being laid) in a single function.

Modi said that infrastructure projects are crucial to the progress of the country.

He said India can no longer afford delay in infrastructure projects, especially connectivity projects.

He said projects such as roads, infuse new energy in the lives of the people.

The Prime Minister recalled the Golden Quadrilateral initiated by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and said it benefited farmers by connecting them to markets.

He said Rajasthan could benefit a lot from tourism, through better infrastructure connectivity, which would bring in employment.

The Prime Minister spoke about the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, under which LPG connections are being given to rural households, which will especially benefit women.

The Prime Minister said GST has hugely benefited the nation's economy, by eliminating long waiting times at inter-state borders.

Narendra Modi later visited the Pratap Gaurav Kendra, which celebrates the life and achievements of Maharana Pratap, the former ruler of Mewar.
