Officials said the Prime Minister will also address students at the first-ever convocation ceremony of students from ITIs on the occasion of Vishwakarma Jayanti.
In the evening, PM Modi will launch the important National Logistics Policy and will round off his public engagements.
Among the four events, two stand out as unique as his birthday marks the reintroduction of cheetahs to Indian wildlife, after the big cats became extinct several years ago.
