In addition, the delegation will also study the application and best practices of BISAG technology in enhancing sugarcane cultivation in the state.

During the delegation's meeting with Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, he noted that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Gujarat has emerged as a model of development, driven by technology-enabled governance and the effective, saturation-level implementation of public welfare and development schemes. Even members of the Chhattisgarh delegation also expressed interest in learning about the success of Gujarat's innovative development system.

During their week-long visit, the Chhattisgarh delegation will tour the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) in Anand to gain extensive institutional exposure to dairy development, biogas plant operations, and sustainable development initiatives.
