Gandhinagar was the location associated with the launch of the Gramin Gyan Setu app, an initiative aimed at integrating rural libraries in Gujarat. Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched the app through video conferencing on August 12, 2026. The project seeks to interconnect 752 libraries within the Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency and provide rural children and youth access to a collective pool of around 2.80 lakh books. It covers villages across the Gandhinagar, Kalol, and Sanand assembly constituencies and uses a hub-and-spoke model. Specialised vans funded through MPLAD funds will visit villages every fortnight to facilitate book distribution and collection.
