He also launched the four-laning of the Uttarsanda- Narsanda-Vadtal highway with a budget of Rs 17 crore and initiated the core network work project connecting Ahmedabad-Nadiad-Dakor-Sevaliya.
During the inauguration event, CM Patel announced the commencement of development projects totalling Rs 353 crore across the state.
Among the key projects unveiled was a multi-storey ITI building at Palana near Nadiad, a city bus service in Nadiad with an investment of Rs 10.61 crore for the next five years, and the beautification of a pond in Thasra.
Additional dedications included the Kathlal panchayat bhavan, Gujarat's first vaccine store and an urban health centre in Nadiad, a primary cattle treatment centre in Chaklasi, and enhanced facilities for primary schools including 40 new classrooms.
