Saurashtra Narmada Avtaran Irrigation - SAUNI was a project launched by Modi in September 2012.
Out of four phases of SAUNI project, Modi inaugurated the first phase which covers 10 dams.
The project aims at diverting the floodwater from Sardar Sarovar Dam to several dams of the water scarce Saurashtra region though a network of canal and pipelines.
This would help with irrigation of 4.13 lakh hectares land in drought-prone Saurashtra.
