Prime Minster Narendra Modi will inaugurate the 7th Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors Summit at Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar here on Sunday.
The Prime Minster reached Ahmedabad on Saturday evening on his two day short visit of Gujarat in connection with Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors Summit.
The Vibrant Gujarat Summit (VGS) 2013 is being held at Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar.
Around 50,000 delegates from India and 1,800 others from 105 countries are said to be participating in it.
There will also be meetings between businesses and government representatives.
However, according to sources, Modi and India Inc. are unlikely to make major investment proposals during the summit.
