I nQW come to ,my state. Gujarat. My ,State has always proved itself like ;a scholar or a bright student in a ~lass of students. In sRite. of, t~e adverse situations, its performance has been very good in behavi~ur and output. On behalf ot Gujarat state, I 'request the hone Minister to give extra allotment of fWlds- to our St~tc which has been giving out extraordinary. Tt.~sults. Our couhtrv is a vast country. And 'vherever the output or result is good, \ye must concentrate on these ,parts, and improve the situation prevailing in this country. \Ve must give m~ incenth"es to those parts where more productivity bas been shown. Hence I request the Minister that as a bonus 'or medal which we give to a scholar as an extra incentive, extra funds should. be giV?an in the form of ~xtra coal, diesel or oil to this State. II also feel that it will work as an ~ded motivation to other States to become more active. Hence a practi- W approach will be taken by other States to come up .to the ,"lerformance of my State.
