Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi kicked off his Gujarati Vikram Samvat new year day by visiting Gandhinagar’s Panchdev Mahadev temple in the morning on Wednesday.

Talking with the media outside the temple Modi said “My new year resolution is to ensure equal male-female sex ratio in Gujarat. Child sex ratio in Gujarat was just 800 some time back(800 girls per 1000 boys in 0 to 6 years age group). We worked hard to improve the Child sex ratio and thanks to these efforts, Child sex ratio in the state is now 840(840 girls per 1000 boys). However we want to bring an ideal situation where male-female Child sex ratio is equal. We want 1000 girls per 1000 boys in Gujarat and this is my new year resolution.”

After a visit to Panchdev Mahadev temple, Modi received public greetings on the stage at Gandhinagar’s Ministerial Enclave based Chief Minister’s Bungalow No.1 from 8.00 to 8.50 A.M. where besides common citizens, IAS officers and government employees could be seen standing in a long queue to greet Modi. Modi visited Governor’s house ‘Rajbhavan’ soon after this and received Governor’s new year wishes.

Modi’s convoy then arrived at Ahmedabad’s Bhadrakali temple where Gujarat assembly speaker Ashok Bhatt, higher education minister Mrs.Mayaben Kodnani etc. were also present. Temple’s priest gifted Goddess Mahakali’s framed photo to Modi. Modi received greetings from common public at Ahmedabad’s Shahibag Circuit house Annexe and then participated in Gujarat Police’s new year get- together function at Senior Police Officers Mess.
