The programme was organised in Manipur village of Sanand taluka in Shah’s constituency to mark his 57th birthday.

The chief minister also visited a residential school and a girls’ hostel for poor children in Sanand taluka and celebrated Shah’s birthday with students, an official release stated.

Under the Seva Setu programme, locals get documents and certificates, such as income certificates, widow pension, caste certificates and duplicate ration cards, at their doorstep without having to visit government offices.

Instead of giving a speech, Patel distributed certificates and other documents to some of the beneficiaries and interacted with them to understand their issues, the release stated.
