  • 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.

  • Public-Private Partnership for Road Infrastructure Development
    Public-Private Partnership for Road Infrastructure Development Until recently, city road development was considered to be in public domain with the government bearing the prime responsibility for development and maintenance of roads. Implementation of road projects and their maintenance suffered as it became solely dependent on the availability of funds from the government budget. Thus, it was important to explore alternative means of financing infrastructure projects. The Sardar Patel Ring Road in Ahmedabad demonstrates how public-private partnership (PPP) models can be used effectively for city infrastructure Documented by: development.
