TTtcT uRdgH sfhf vieFTPf *T5TTcPI TfR tT t R ^ R Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways Government of India SAGARMALA PORT-LED PROSPERITY MARITIME INDIA VISION 2030 Prime Minister MESSAGE I am pleased to learn that the Ministry of Ports, Shipping & Waterways has prepared ‘Maritime India Vision 2030’ (MIV 2030). The document is a blueprint to accelerate the growth of our maritime sector over the next decade. We have been blessed with a rich maritime heritage. To shape our maritime prowess into a robust engine of the nation’s development, we have given top priority to port-led development. We firmly believe that the immense potential of our coastline strength needs to be harnessed to the fullest. We have constantly been taking concrete measures aimed at adding pace to capacity building and enhancing efficiency of the sector. From policy initiatives and reforms for furthering ease of doing business to creating modem infrastructure of global standards to ensure modem multi-modal connectivity, we are striding forward with a holistic approach. MIV 2030 emphasizes on further boosting performance and productivity of our maritime sector to pave the way for an even better future. To strengthen our position of eminence in the global maritime sector, MIV 2030 identifies over 150 initiatives across various maritime sub-sectors like ports, shipping and waterways. These initiatives particularly focus on operational efficiency improvement, port-driven industrialization and creating safe and sustainable world class ports to address the growing trade volume needs, as well as reducing logistics cost through better evacuation and cost effective processes. I am confident that the initiatives will add impetus to our integrated efforts towards generating seamless prospects for business and entrepreneurship and create employment opportunities on a large scale. The measures listed in the document will surely guide the way ahead towards a robust maritime sector and add strength to the nation’s efforts towards building a prosperous and Aatmanirbhar Bharat.

  • 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.

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. Modi’s working style when it came to farmer welfare was bottom up – his policy was driven by his deep understanding of farmers’ problems and in finding innovative win-win solutions for them.

  • 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.
