The programme was attended by Chief Minister of Gujarat Bhupendrabhai Patel, Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi, Minister of Cooperation, Gujarat, Jitubhai Vaghani, Minister of State for Cooperation, Gujarat, Rameshbhai Katara, Secretary, Ministry of Cooperation, Dr. Ashish Kumar Bhutani, Chief Secretary of Gujarat Manoj Das, Chairman of Bharat Taxi Dr. Jayen Mehta, along with senior representatives from the cooperative sector, officials and a large number of Sarathis.
Addressing the gathering on the occasion, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah said that today is a very important day for India’s mobility sector. He said that with the development of the country, the need for taxi and transport services has reached every household. The concept of taxi is no longer limited to four-wheelers; two-wheelers, autos and other urban transport services have also become part of it. The launch of ‘Bharat Taxi’ in Gujarat is a step towards giving a new direction to this wider mobility requirement through cooperation.
