Ahmedabad, Sept. 14: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to celebrate his birthday later this week by distributing aids to people with disabilities at a gathering officials said would be the country's "biggest such camp" for the differently abled.

BJP spokesperson Bharat Pandya said 11,000 physically challenged people had already registered for Saturday's event in Navsari, south Gujarat.

Modi will turn 66 on September 17.

The Prime Minister will also visit the tribal-dominated Dahod district where he is scheduled to inaugurate an irrigation project.

Before that he will visit his mother Hiraben in Gandhinagar, where she stays with Modi's younger brother Pankaj Modi, in what would be the Prime Minister's third visit to his election-bound home state since August.

The Navsari event, where Modi will address the gathering, is scheduled later in the afternoon after his trip to Dahod. "We are organising the country's biggest camp for the disabled," Mehboob Ali, chairman, Gujarat Government Handicapped Development Corporation, told The Telegraph.

Officials said the number of beneficiaries in Navsari, the ancestral hometown of industrialist Ratan Tata, would set a "new record", rewriting the one set on January 22 this year in Modi's Lok Sabha constituency Varanasi, where 7,766 differently abled people were given aids and appliances.

"The Navsari camp will break the old record and set a new one. We expect the new record will enter the Guinness World Records," Ali, a Surat-based BJP leader, said.

The beneficiaries will get hearing aids, wheelchairs and motorised tricycles, among other aids, while a team of 40 doctors will help the differently abled, whom Modi describes as divyang, or divine.

Sources said local associations of doctors and physiotherapists were expected to announce that their members would not charge any fees at the event. An association of real estate developers is also expected to come up with an announcement at the gathering. The Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Association of India is expected to move a resolution making it mandatory for all new buildings to have disabled-friendly access, BJP spokesperson Pandya said.

The sources said Navsari MP C.R. Patil was instrumental in convincing the Prime Minister to come to Navsari town on his birthday. The south Gujarat politician, who has business interests in textile and real estate, is considered close to Modi.

It was Patil who had supervised the auction of the monogrammed suit that Modi wore during Barack Obama's visit to Delhi last year. The suit, bought for Rs 4.31 crore, has entered the Guinness World Records as "the most expensive suit sold at auction".

Modi's visit to Gujarat, where Assembly polls are due next year, will be his third since last month. Modi had visited the state twice in August - once to condole the death of a religious leader and then to inaugurate an irrigation scheme in the Saurashtra region.
