Here is what the PM said at different venues on Monday:
Kiran multispeciality hospital
Narendra Modi said the multispeciality hospital will benefit many poor people.
Notwithstanding the pressure from the pharmaceutical companies against the decision to reduce the price of stents and medicines, the move has been adopted to make heath-care affordable for the under-privileged, Modi said.
The effort devoted towards making this hospital should be known by the entire nation. It has been a commendable one: PM @narendramodi

Automatic cattle feed plant
Modi appreciated the collaboration of farmers and cooperatives towards the opening of a fully automatic SUMUL dairy. He said India still needs to focus on increasing the per capita milk production.
Modi is currently in Silbvassa where he will inaugurate various government projects including Passport Seva Kendra, and Jan Aushadhi Kendra– a government initiative to boost the availability of quality generic medicines at affordable prices.
