New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Rajasthan and Gujarat on July 27 and 28. On Thursday morning, PM Modi will lay the foundation stone and dedicate to the nation various development projects in a public programme in Sikar, Rajasthan, according to a release by the Prime Minister's Office.

Modi will also dedicate 1 lakh PM Kisan Samriddhi Kendras (PMKSKs) to the nation while launching Urea Gold, a new variety of Urea that is coated with Sulphur.

“The introduction of Sulphur Coated Urea will address sulphur deficiencies in the soil. This innovative fertiliser is more economical and efficient than neem-coated urea, improves nitrogen use efficiency in plants, reduces consumption of fertiliser, and enhances crop quality,” the PMO release said.

Also during his visit, the 14th installment amount of about Rs 17,000 crores under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN), will be released through direct benefits transfer to more than 8.5 crore beneficiaries.

After his visit to Rajasthan, Modi will visit Gujarat where he will inaugurate the newly-built greenfield airport at Rajkot and also inaugurate multiple development projects worth over Rs 860 crores.

On Friday, he will inaugurate 'Semicon India 2023', an event in State capital Gandhinagar to highlight investment opportunities in India's semiconductor sector.

“The theme of the Conference is ‘Catalysing India’s Semiconductor Ecosystem’. It aims to bring together global leaders from industry, academia and research institutions.
