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.

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.

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 a result, State Government borne the additional financial burden of `436 cr.

The Government has introduced a special assistance package of `2285 cr for more than 23 lakhs farmers and cattle owners of 96 talukas of the State. Thus, our Government has always supported and stood by the farmers. Agriculture During the year 2017-18, agricultural production of Gujarat has registered a growth of 12.11%. Gujarat contributes 7.3% in the agricultural economy of the country, which is much higher than other major states of the country. Balanced development of agriculture sector has been the priority of the Government. Our Government, which has been endeavoring for overall development of farmers has effectively implemented various schemes to achieve the goal of Hon’ble Prime Minister to double farmers’ income by the year 2022. Farmers have been provided all the primary facilities for agricultural development such as sufficient irrigation facilities, scientific farming techniques, improved seeds and electricity. The farmers of the state have become prosperous due to effective implementation of various agriculture sector schemes and protection from risk factors in agriculture. State Government is working on all the dimensions to double farmers’ income through implementation of various schemes such as procurement of agricultural produce at MSP, crop insurance, input assistance, capital subsidy for warehousing and cold storage, integration with e-nam for marketing, incentive for micro irrigation like drip and sprinkle irrigation, efficient fertilizer usage through soil health cards, barbed wire fencing for crop protection, assistance for farm mechanization and others. 4

 Under the Pradhanmanti Fasal Bima Yojana, approximately 53 lakh hectare land of more than 27 lakh farmers has been covered under the crop insurance scheme during the last two years.  Farmers are provided crop loan at zero percentage interest rate. Interest subvention is being paid by the Government of India and the State Government on the crop loan. It is proposed to set up a revolving fund of `500 cr in order to provide the farmers interest subsidy timely and at one go.  An amount of `500 cr has been provided as assistance to the farmers during the last three years for farm mechanization.  Organic Agricultural University is being set up at Halol, Panchmahals district for providing education, research and latest technology to farmers in organic farming,  With the objective of doubling the income of farmers, it has been planned to increase the area under horticulture plantation to 18.55 lakh hectare and the production to 300 lakh metric ton by 2021-22 from the current 16.87 lakh hectare and 232 lakh metric ton respectively. Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Dairy supplement each another. The Animal Husbandry sector contributes significantly in the economic upliftment of farmers. Hence, we have implemented several schemes for the development of Animal Husbandry sector in the State.  As per the 19th Livestock Census, with the rise of 15.36% in livestock population Gujarat ranks first in the country.  During the last 15 years, through effective implementation of various schemes the per capita availability of milk in the State has increased by 243 grams per day and is now 564 grams per day.  Due to crash of skimmed milk powder prices in the global market, the district dairy unions were facing the danger of incurring heavy losses because of the huge stock of skimmed milk powder they had stored. Government of Gujarat has provided assistance of `300 cr to dairy cooperative unions to support export of skimmed milk powder to save them from the grim situation.  A Sex Semen Laboratory with an outlay of `47.50 cr is proposed to be set up at Patan to ensure birth of more number of female calves in milch cattle making animal husbandry activity more viable. This will result in births of 80 to 90% female calves.  The State Government has launched the services of “Karuna Animal Ambulance-1962” in every district to provide emergency services for treatment of animals in the State.

Gujarat with its 1600 km long sea coast provides huge opportunities for livelihood in fisheries sector.  Various schemes like VAT subsidy on the High Speed Diesel Oil used in the fishing vessels, deep sea fishing vessels to promote deep sea fishing and up-gradation of fishing harbours and construction of new fishing harbours are under implementation.  There is significant production of prawn fish in Gujarat and fisherman earn substantial income by its exports. State Government has allotted 7500 hectares land for the prawn culture. To encourage prawn culture activity, it has been decided to allot additional 5000 hectares land that will provide employment to 25,000 aqua-culturists and the country will get more foreign exchange.  The fishermen are provided VAT subsidy of `12 per litre on diesel for the fishing boats. I announce to increase the subsidy from `12 per litre to `15 to support the fisherman of Gujarat. 10,677 fishers boatmen will be benefitted by this decision  There are about 23,000 active fishermen in Valsad district of south Gujarat. To give boost to their activity and to provide them better facilities, new fish landing centres will be set up.  For the families of the fishermen of Gujarat who are held captive by Pakistan Marine Agency and are kept in Pakistan Jails, I announce to double the daily livelihood allowance given to them from `150 to `300. Water To provide enhanced benefits of irrigation schemes to the Resources: farmers and to prevent the wastage of water, repair and renovation of the canal system of 19 Major and 90 Medium irrigation, participatory irrigation management and cutting canal works are under progress in full swing. This will narrow the gap by less than 10% between ultimate irrigation potential and actual irrigation potential.  Gujarat and its neighbouring State Madhya Pradesh received scanty rainfall during the current year, because of which there is a drought and semi-drought like situation in the State. In spite of limited water in the Saradar Sarovar Dam, our Government succeeded in managing the water crisis and supplied adequate drinking water to all. We also supplied water for irrigation purpose to the farmers and Gujarat managed to come out of the shadow of drought.
