Honourable Speaker Sir, During the Last Two Decades, Our Government Has Adopted a Well-Planned Approach with a Long Term Vision for the Development of the State Honourable Speaker Sir, During the last two decades, our Government has adopted a well-planned approach with a long term vision for the development of the State. The people of the state and the country are witnessing the encouraging results of these efforts. There was a time, when we used to present plans of the Government in the form of budget, some people used to be skeptical and trivialize its importance by calling it a dream. However, today the nation and the world has taken note of the success saga of Gujarat. And therefore, the people of Gujarat have time and again expressed their confidence in our development oriented approach and we are grateful to the people of the State for the same. Our Government is continuously marching on the development path on the foundation of the four pillars of Sensitivity, Transparency, Decisiveness and Progressiveness. We are committed to the social, economic, educational and overall development of every citizen of the state. Government is ensuring that the fruits of development reach to the poorest of the poor and they also play an important role in the development process of the State. Our Governance is based on the principle of "Sau no Sath Sau no Vikas", involving all sections of the society in the main stream development process through a well planned approach. On the one hand through Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit, Gujarat has established a unique global identity as most favoured trade and investment destination. On the other hand, the Government has ensured irrigation facilities through efficient water management of Saradar Sarovar Narmada Project and strengthening of other irrigation schemes in order to increase agricultural productivity and to achieve high agricultural growth rate. We have also taken necessary steps to ensure that our farmers get timely electric supply and remunerative prices for their agriculture crops. We have successfully done the procurement of agricultural crops of `2,174 cr at MSP this year with the support of the Government of India. I am glad to inform that the Government of India under the PM-Kisan Sanman Nidhi Yojana has declared `6,000 annual input support every year to all the farmers having less than 2 hectares of agriculture land and has also started its implementation. The District administration has been geared up for collecting details for filling up the forms of the eligible farmers and uploading it on the Digital Gujarat Portal. As a result of which 40 lakhs farmers will get large financial benefit under the scheme. As this is a continuous scheme, more and more farmers will get benefits as they fill up the forms. On behalf of the farmers of Gujarat, we are thankful to the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for coming out with such an extensive farmers’ welfare scheme. ‘Statue of Unity’, the world’s highest 182 meter high statue of the architect of unified India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, is a symbol of towering aspirations of India. This was unveiled by the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, on the occasion of Sardar Saheb's Birth Anniversary on 31-10-2018. 1 Statue of Unity and Sardar Sarovar Dam are located in tribal area and our Government is committed for the overall development of tribal youth through these schemes. As lakhs of tourists are visiting these places, huge opportunities of employment have been created for the locals in the tourism sector. The Government is working towards enhancement of livelihood and improvement in the conditions of the local tribal. With a noble intention of providing fair opportunities of employment and education to the youth of economically weaker sections of unreserved category, Government has implemented the far reaching policy of 10 per cent reservation, announced by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. Realizing the years old expectations of the youth, this policy does not reduce the reservation provided to other categories, who are getting the benefits of reservation. Gujarat is the first state which has implemented this policy. This policy will help in achieving social harmony and strengthening unity and integrity of the country. Gujarat is a water scarcity state with irregular rainfall in the coastal areas. With a view to provide adequate water to the coastal areas and Kutch, 8 desalination plants will be set up along the 1600 km long coastline for desalinating the sea water into potable water on PPP basis. This important decision will help to mitigate the problem of drinking water in the scarcity affected regions. The State Government has, for the first time, declared the policy of reuse of treated sewage water. Under this policy, the recycled water will be used for agriculture, industry, construction and other works providing an additional source of water. Gujarat is a leading state in the non-conventional energy sector in the country. Dholera, being near coastal region, because of saline land is not arable. Dholera is being developed as India's first and world's big smart industrial city thereon, it has been planned there to set up world's largest 5000 MW Solar Park. Tenders have already been issued for 1000 MW. The work related to construction of six lane express- way between Dholera and Ahmedabad has been started while other modern infrastructure works including roads are in progress in Dholera SIR. Our Government is committed to transparency in governance and we are taking all necessary steps to control corruption by making required changes in the Acts and the Rules. We have taken initiatives like making the process of NA (Non-agriculture) conversion online, e-auction of mining leases, exempting hotels from police permission and others. Stern actions are taken by Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on complaints from the citizens. 2 Gujarat has started many programmes as a part of the celebration of 150th Birth Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation. A modern museum has been built in Alfred High School where Mahatma Gandhi had studied. The entire life of Mahatma Gandhi is made live through audio-visual effects. Dandi March has historical importance in the freedom movement of India. With an objective to make the salt satyagrah eternally memorable and inspiring for the future generations, a modern National Salt Satyagrah Memorial has been built at Dandi. Hon’ble Speaker Sir, now I wish to present the highlights of the prudent fiscal management and financial discipline of Gujarat. As per CRISIL’s latest State of Growth 2.0 Report, Gujarat is leading in important parameters of GSDP growth rate, fiscal management, employment generation and controlling prices and others. During the last five years of 2013-2017 Gujarat’s average annual economic growth rate has been 9.9 per cent at constant (2011-12) prices, which is highest amongst the major States. Keeping the momentum, the State economy registered a growth of 11.2 per cent during 2017-18. The State’s GSDP has been 13.15 lakh crore during 2017-18 which shows 14% growth compared to the previous year. Gujarat with 5% population of the country has 7.8% share in the GDP of the country. During the year 2017-18, the per capita income of the State at current prices is `1,74,652, which is 12.6 per cent more than the previous year. The per capita income of the State is 54.8 percent higher as compared to per capita income of the country. Gujarat stands first in the country so far as exports are concerned. Gujarat’s share to India’s exports has gone up from 19 per cent in 2015-16 to 22 per cent in 2017-18. As per the recently published Annual Survey of Industries Results for 2016-17, Gujarat ranks top in industrial output with a share of 16.8 per cent. As per the NITI Aayog released SDG India Index Baseline Report 2018 on Sustainable Development Goals, Gujarat ranks amongst the first three states in education, health and other socio-economic indicators. The Constitution of India enshrines a unique federal system, wherein the economic policies of the Union and the States are complementary to each other. This year the Union Government has presented a Vote on Accounts. Therefore, it is befitting that the State’s economic approach is shaped in accordance with the policies of the Union of India. We have accordingly decided to present and seek Vote on Accounts for the period of four months, i.e. upto 31st July, 2019. During the next session of this August House, the Modified Budget for the Financial Year 2019-20 will be presented. 3 Hon’ble Speaker Sir, Now, I present the vote on accounts before this August House. Government supporting farmers during scarcity Our farmer welfare oriented Government led by Shri Vijaybhai Rupani has declared the most generous relief and assistance package till date for the areas affected by scanty rainfall. There was deficient rainfall in some parts of the state therefore our Government with generous policy has declared 6174 villages of 96 talukas as affected area. In these 96 talukas, 16.27 lakh farmers have been paid `1557 cr as input assistance. 2.60 lakh cattles of 443 panjarapols and gaushalas and 1.62 lakh cattles in 270 cattle camps are being provided assistance at the rate of `35 per day per cattle. So far, `40.84 cr have been disbursed. Gopalaks in scarcity affected areas are provided fodder at the concessional rate of `2 per kg. Till now, 6.84 cr kilogram grass has been distributed. Because of delayed rain electricity supply to farmers was increased from 8 to 10 hours with a view to save their crops.

As Chief Minister, Modi was known to be someone who immersed himself deeply in the intricacies of policy matters and the way they work on the ground. Transforming Lives of Farmers in Gujarat Among the biggest policy triumphs of his tenure as Chief Minister of Gujarat was the way he transformed the lives of farmers of a semi- arid state and made them self-reliant and prosperous.

  • Gujarat's Electricity Sector Transformation
    Tim Buckley, Director for Energy Finance Studies, Australasia 1 Kashish Shah, Research Analyst August 2019 Gujarat’s Electricity Sector Transformation A Role Model of India’s Electricity Transition Executive Summary GUJARAT, LOCATED ON THE WESTERN COAST OF INDIA, IS AN ECONOMIC POWERHOUSE that contributed roughly 8% of India’s total gross domestic product (GDP) between 2011/12 and 2018/19. It is one of the most industrially focussed states in India, with three quarters of Gujarat’s state GDP coming from the industrial sector. IEEFA also identifies Gujarat as one of the five leading Indian states for renewable energy in terms of both existing generation capacity as well as future potential. There was 2 gigawatt (GW) of solar power capacity, 6GW of wind power capacity and 0.5GW of biomass capacity operational as of March 2019. India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) estimates Gujarat’s renewables potential to be 72.7GW, equally balanced between solar and wind energy potential. This includes the 5GW Dholera Solar Park, the largest proposed solar development in the world to-date. August 2019 saw NTPC announce plans for another 5GW of solar park at Kutch in Gujarat during its annual investor meet for FY2018/19. This announcement puts Gujarat ahead in the race for building renewables capacity between states such as Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan with similar renewable energy potential. GUJARAT’S CURRENT ELECTRICITY MIX IS DOMINATED BY THERMAL POWER SOURCES. The 22.3GW of thermal capacity comprises 15.8GW of coal-fired and 6.6GW of gas-fired capacity.

  • Disruptive Technologies
    DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES A Disruptive Technology is a technology or innovation, which is initially a combination of niche technologies or innovative ideas to create a high end product or service, typically such which the existing market does not expect; and when the technology becomes affordable and accessible, it eventually ends up disrupting the existing consumer market and creating a market of its own. DIAGRAM 1: Big Bang Market Adoption FIGURE 1: Different types of theories used to describe the market response to Disruptive Technologies. The Rogers’ theory explains this response in the form of a bell curve (grey), while the recent Big Bang theory explains it in the form of a shark fin curve (orange) • Sustaining Technologies are different from Disruptive Technologies in such that they only rely on evolutions and advancements in existing products, thus making firms compete against one another leveraging the improvements each firm can make in their product • In the nascent stage of a disruptive innovation, the market is largely exploratory and mostly led by smaller, innovation driven and entrepreneurial firms. Larger firms tend to stay away from disruptive innovations because either the margins are too tight for them; or their business structure is such that even willingly, they cannot enter the disruptive innovation market due to potential tradeoffs such as cannibalization • Every product market is dynamic and bound to encounter disruptions at some stage or the other. Disruptive innovations can even hurt successful, well managed companies

  • Uneasy Negotiations: Urban Redevelopment, Neoliberalism and Hindu Nationalist Politics in Ahmedabad, India Renu Desai (Ph.D
    Breslauer Graduate Research Conference, April 2006 Uneasy Negotiations: Urban Redevelopment, Neoliberalism and Hindu Nationalist Politics in Ahmedabad, India Renu Desai (Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Architecture, U.C. Berkeley) ABSTRACT This paper examines the politics of urban space in the Indian city of Ahmedabad, focussing particular attention on the relationship of urban redevelopment to neoliberalism, Hindu nationalist politics and their intersections. While many scholars have studied the multiple ways in which urban landscapes are being re-imagined and re-configured as a result of neoliberal programs, few like Jane M. Jacobs and Arjun Appadurai have sought to specifically focus on the ways in which these neoliberal reconfigurations of the city intersect with racial, religious, and ethnic politics. This paper seeks to contribute to this slim but important body of literature so that we might better understand the multiple articulations and geographical specificities of this intersection and the challenges that it poses for creating inclusive cities in many parts of the world. Furthermore, by locating this study in Ahmedabad, a city which on the one hand has witnessed recurring violence against its minority Muslims at the instigation of Hindu nationalist organizations, and on the other hand is increasingly becoming an important local and regional site for articulating the desire to be “global,” this paper hopes to shed light on the ways in which, through their intersections in urban space, the neoliberal project and religious identity politics reconfigure each other, opening up at the same time greater challenges and new possibilities in the struggle for social justice. The paper examines the politics of urban space in Ahmedabad largely through the lens of an ambitious urban redevelopment project – the Sabaramti River Front Development Project, a US$ 262 million project currently under implementation.
