Modi will be on a two-day visit to the state on

here Friday.

On January 17, Modi would inaugurate `Vibrant

On January 18, Modi will inaugurate the summit. In the

with some of the heads of states who would be attending the

event, Singh said.

In the evening, the prime minister will take part in a

`round table interaction' with the heads of global sovereign

wealth funds, pension funds and institutional investors.

On January 19, the prime minister is scheduled to

The summit was conceptualised by Modi in 2003 when he

was Gujarat chief minister with a view to attract investors to

the state.
