  • The Economy of Gujarat and Its Policies Priyanka R Patani [email protected] Gujarat University, Ahmedabad, Gujarat
    Patani Priyanka R; International Journal of Advance Research, Ideas and Innovations in Technology ISSN: 2454-132X Impact factor: 4.295 (Volume 4, Issue 5) Available online at: www.ijariit.com The economy of Gujarat and its policies Priyanka R Patani [email protected] Gujarat University, Ahmedabad, Gujarat ABSTRACT Governmental policies and its impact on the development of Gujarat as the economy of Gujarat is one of the fastest growing economies among all Indian states. The State emerged stronger and a symbol of hope for the rest of the country in terms of economic and industrial development. Gujarat is one of the states to have responded punctually and effectively to the new liberal policies. The government has been open to new ideas, technology, including organizational and management governance practices, and has designed policy responses to overcome economic challenges. The analysis in this paper suggests that stakeholders in Gujarat have been able to create an environment in which improving quality of living, focusing on basic needs, and quality of life are the main focus of public policies and discourse. Such focus is favorable to broad-based growth and upward economic and social mobility, and diversity, permitting introduction of new ideas in organizing different activities. Keywords— Development of Gujarat 1. INTRODUCTION The economy of Gujarat is one of the fastest growing economies among all Indian states. The people of Gujarat are worldwide recognized as highly entrepreneurial and industrious. The risk-taking ability, along with the mature level of commercial knowledge, has made the State the fountainhead of a new enterprise. The labor force in Gujarat is reasonably skilled in areas such as diamonds, chemicals, petrochemicals and pharmacy sectors.

  • Hon'ble Speaker Sir, I Rise Before This August House of Glorious Gujarat To
    Hon’ble Speaker Sir, I rise before this august House of glorious Gujarat to present the Budget for the year 2008-09 with an overwhelming feeling of joy. I have had the privilege to present the Budget for twelve times in the past and I feel honoured to have this opportunity once again. By mentioning the number of opportunities, I want to convey that the people of Gujarat appreciate the importance of stable governance. Gujarat has captured the imagination of the country and the world with its development. Such development is based on stability in governance, clarity in policy and the objective to achieve the goal. The political and social currents in Gujarat show that the common man of the State has faith in development as well as in our resolve and efforts in achieving it. Every citizen wants to participate in the process of development; because he feels that he is a beneficiary in the comprehensive development process. The response received from the people of Gujarat has encouraged our government to further enhance the already extended canvass of development. Gujarat is going to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of its formation in the year 2010 and I express my desire before this august House that it will display more than the required commitment to convert this occasion into an opportunity for development. Such commitment by this House, which would be a ray of hope for five and a half crore Gujaratis, will form an emotional bond with the common man and help us in marching ahead for the progress of one and all.

  • Vision Document Recognizes That and Has Hence Looked to Identify the Potential and Capture the Future Aspirations of the State and Its People
    Executive Summary The Confederation of Indian Industry and the Young Indians have embarked on an ambitious mission to ignite a movement in evolving a vision for India@75. CII is building a comprehensive vision to facilitate India's transformation into an economically strong, technologically vital and ethically sound global leader by circa 2022. CII theme India@75: The emerging Agenda is based on three core principles: • Aspiration (vision) must always exceed present resources-in other words the vision must be a big stretch, and it should not be obvious how it will be attained • The vision must not be an extrapolation from the past. Rather, the process of progressing towards the vision must be a process of discovery, of 'folding in the future' as it is created by visionary action • Adoption of 'best practices' will not help to realize a vision that is not an extrapolation of the past. Rather, there must be innovation, and development of 'next practices' India@75 is an ambitious mission to ignite a movement in evolving a vision for India. CII & Young Indians, in this process is mobilizing individuals with passion and commitment towards Nation Building and carrying forward the mission through a bottom – up approach. This is the summary of “Vision 2025” of Gujarat as articulated by the people of the State. India is in the cusp of a disruptive change. Exponential economic growth has thrown statistics into turbulence making it almost impossible to find a viable correlation between historic economic trends and present growth. This vision document recognizes that and has hence looked to identify the potential and capture the future aspirations of the state and its people.

  • ADB's Water Sector Operations in India
    ADB’s Water Sector Operations in India Review and Way Forward Numerous challenges are plaguing the water resources sector, including diminishing water availability, growing multisector and competitive demands, deteriorating quality, overexploitation of groundwater, increased magnitude of flood, riverbank and coastal erosion, and issues related to urban and rural water supply and sanitation. Strategies and options to address these are briefly described in the paper. Beginning 1995 the Asian Development Bank (ADB) supported investments in India’s water sector to address these challenges covering South Asia operations in the agriculture and natural resources, urban, and energy sectors. The paper analyzes these issues and enumerates the possible opportunities for cooperation between ADB and the Working Paper Series government in developing and managing the country’s water resources sector. About the Asian Development Bank ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to two-thirds of the world’s poor: 1.8 billion people who live on less than $2 a day, with 903 million struggling on less than $1.25 a day. ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. Based in Manila, ADB is owned by 67 members, including 48 from the region. Its main instruments for helping its developing member countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, and technical assistance.
