He will inaugurate a medical college of JIPMER at Karaikal, Puducherry, and a 300-bed satellite centre of the Post Graduate Institute of Medical and Educational Research (PGIMER) in Sangrur, Punjab, among many other health projects spread across the country, the statement said.
Earlier in the day, the prime minister inaugurated the 'Sudarshan Setu' connecting the Okha mainland and the Beyt Dwarka island, built at a cost of around Rs 980 crore.
The 2.32 km-long cable-stayed bridge is the longest of its kind in the country, the PMO said in a statement.
Sudarshan Setu boasts a unique design, featuring a footpath adorned with verses from the Bhagavad Gita and images of Lord Krishna on both sides, it said.
It also has solar panels installed on the upper portions of the footpath, generating one megawatt of electricity, the statement said.
