Marathon held to Celebrate 600 years of Gujarat

Ahmedabad, Dec.26 (ANI): Scores of enthusiasts, including physically challenged, participated in a marathon organised to celebrate the 600 years of Gujarat here on Sunday.

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi flagged of the marathon.

The marathon had three separate categories like flower marathon, half marathon and specially-abled marathon.

Different distances were allocated for different categories whereas the longest marathon was set for 42 kilometers, which commenced from Ahmedabad.

Modi said by this event Gujarat is writing its name on the map of marathon for the first time.

“Today it’s a day of pride for Gujarat as for the first time Gujarat is writing its name on the map of marathon and the marathon, which will be starting in Gujarat, is of around 43 kilometers,” said Modi.

Apart from Gujarat, athletics from 14 different states and around 40 athletics from across the world participated in the marathon.

“Around 500 places in the world are there who conducts marathon every year but now on the occasion of Gujarat’s golden jubilee, it is on the map of marathon. I would like to welcome and greet the people who have participated in the marathon,” said Modi.

Ahmedabad, today, is on the threshold of transforming into one of India’s leading cities. It is India’s seventh largest city and poised to be a financial hub in western India. It has the infrastructure and the ingredients required to realize this dream – uninterrupted power supply, excellent road network, reputed educational institutes and above all, the famous Gujarati entrepreneurial spirit.

Ahmedabad has been futuristic in city planning. It realizes that only with a long term vision, it can sustain its growth and enhance the quality of life desired for its six million citizens. Worldwide, the best and the most successful cities are seen to have efficient public transport systems. Ahmedabad too has taken up this path of transformation and is heading for a sustainable transport system, which will enhance the quality of life of Amdavadis and promote competitiveness of the city itself. The BRT is a logical conclusion of this vision.

The concept of Janmarg is influenced by the successful Transmilenio system built in Bogota and the BRT system of Curitiba. However, it’s planning and design is adapted to suit Ahmedabad’s specific conditions. The system gives top priority to buses, pedestrians and non motorized transport and this is achieved by segregating these modes from fast moving motorized traffic. Buses run on dedicated lanes provided in the centre of the road while bicyclists get their own dedicated track and pedestrians get wide footpaths.

Janmarg is more than just moving people efficiently.Janmarg is about creating an identity for public transport in Ahmedabad for years to come. It is about creating a sense of pride in Ahmedabad’s citizens for their city. It is about creating an image that will define the ethos of Ahmedabad as a city that is ready to accept change, a city that has a vision for the future, a city that will transform the image of public transport in India.

Gujarati Samaj at Udaipur

Udaipur was founded in 1559 by Maharana Udai Singh II as the final capital of the erstwhile Mewar kingdom, located to the southwest of Nagda, on the Banas River, the first capital of the Mewar kingdom. Legend has it that Maharana Udai Singh II came upon a hermit while hunting in the foothills of the Aravalli Range. The hermit blessed the king and asked him to build a palace on the spot, assuring him it would be well protected. Udai Singh II consequently established a residence on the site. In 1568 the Mughal emperor Akbar captured the fort of Chittor, and Udai Singh moved the capital to the site of his residence, which became the city of Udaipur.

As the Mughal empire weakened, the Sisodia ranas, and later maharanas (also called the Guhilots or Suryavansh), who had always tried to oppose Mughal dominance, reasserted their independence and recaptured most of Mewar except for Chittor. Udaipur remained the capital of the state, which became a princely state of British India in 1818. Being a mountainous region and unsuitable for heavily armoured Mughal horses, Udaipur remained unmolested from Mughal influence in spite of much pressure.

Maharana Fateh Singh of Udaipur was the only royalty who did not attend the Delhi Durbar for King George V in 1911. This fierce sense of independence earned Udaipur the highest gun salute in Rajasthan, 19 against the 17 each of Jaipur, Jodhpur, Bundi, Bikaner, Kota and Karauli. After India's independence in 1947, Maharana Bhupal Singh, the King of Udaipur, acceded to the Government of India, and Mewar was integrated into India's Rajasthan state.
