increasingly critical role in making India shine. Beside labour harmony,
Infrastructure development, social reforms, investor friendly climate, transparent

Gujarat in economic development

The total area of Gujarat is 1,96,024 Square Kilometers. It has got 1600
kilometers long seashore. Gujarat has covered Unmargam from south to Disa in
industrial development, but this growth is limited only up to 20 to 25 kilometers
and this is known as 'Golden Corridor'. In this area mainly chemical, plastic and
textile, sugar, diamond industries have developed.
There are textile factories in Ahmedabad, cement factories in Kutchha, brass
parts in Jamnagar and ship breaking industries in Bhavnagar. Near Surat (Tapi) we
have plants of Reliance.
Gujarat has tried its level best to fulfill the Central Government's dream of
rapid growth; we have been trying hard for two decades. As a part of it, Gujarat has
11
also made credible changes in economic policies. Investment policies have been
applied. Gujarat may become attractive and industrial friend's region and such
steps re being taken. To attract investors to Gujarat, our chief minister has given
the concept of 'Vibrant Gujarat'. Our aim is that by this programmed, capital
investment in Gujarat must increase. Gujarat has held 'Global Investors Summit' in
2003, 2005 and 2007 and it will be in 2009 again, to attract the investors. Due to
Summit 2003, we got capital investment of 66,000 crores, in 2005, it was 1,60,160
crores and in "Summit January 2007" we got 4,60,000/- crores capital investment.
Our Chief Minister has decided to make 'Golden Gujarat' from 'Global Gujarat'. In
"Summit 2007", various 12 countries' investors are willing for the investments in
Gujarat.
In this Summit, Special Economic Zone (SEZ) was discussed and its result will be
great for us. Because of Global capital investment in Gujarat, about 12,76,775 jobs
will be available and our youth will get its maximum benefit.
In "Global Investors Summit 2007" 349 new agreements have been made. Gujarat
will get the investment of 4,60,070 crores. Here is a list of investment that will be
invested in Gujarat.
Reliance - Rs. 67,000 crores Torento Group - Rs. 09,000 crores
O.N.G.C. - Rs. 30,000 crores Cadila Group - Rs. 05,300 crores
Dishmen Pharma - Rs. 28,500 crores Birla Group - Rs. 03,700 crores

12
Moreover, Welspan Gujarat, Sanghi Industries, Cadila Pharma have declare for the
big capital investment in Gujarat. Gujarat will be the engine of development, if all
the above thing will be in time.
SEZ's efforts to make Gujarat competitive
For the rapid economic development a bill has been passed in the Parliament in
2006. After the declaration of this issue, new hopes of rapid growth have raised.
About 33 SEZ have been developing under the new SEZ policy, and recently new
Special Economic Zones have been granted to Gujarat.
The SEZ founded by Adani Group in Mundra will be the biggest in area. Whereas
Reliance's
SEZ in Jamnagar will stand at second position, and Sterling Biotech SEZ in
Baroda will be the third biggest in area. Other Social Economic Zones are G.I.D.C.
(Dahej), Essar-Jamnagar, AdaniDhobera. Government will give special relief such
as relaxation in taxes, benefits of infrastructure facilities. Obstacles will be
decreased and priority to problem solution is given 4Economic Zones are set-up in
Particular areas by the Government and has opened the doors of progress. The
Government has got 800 proposals to set-up SEZ from various states, and out of
them 500 social Economic Zones are sanctioned Gujarat has got 33 special
Economic zones and most of them are under construction It was decided in
"Global Investors summit 2007" that most of the capital investment will be in SEZ
and so is expected Gujarat has taken maximum benefit of this Programmed. It is
true that due to SEZ real business creation at wealth infrastructures facilities and a
number of jobs will be available.
BY SEZ Ports, highways, correspondence, information technology, Banking,
textile, garments and jewelry, chemical industries will make rapid growth. Obstacle
13
and hurdles of industries will relay be solved and Government has tried to be a
"Industries" Friend region our impression is very good on others because we have
tried a wt to invest in Gujarat, and industrialists believe that Gujarat is the best
state for capital investment. Now they don't Say ''why Gujarat" but they Say "Why
not Gujarat" All great industrialists have preferred Gujarat for investment and
Gujarat is no. 1 in attracting investors. They will provide quality Production at a
low rate and compete the international companies.
In Social Economic Zones, big as well as small industries will develop and Gujarat
will be the Global -Infrastructure in the World and Gujarat's map at industrial
development will be changed. Gujarat has followed the modal at "Investors
Summit" to attract the capital investors and we have amazed great industrialists
and businesspersons by mar efforts. Investors will look into government policy and
present condition of Gujarat. It is a matter at pride for Gujarat that great companies
like TATA, Ambani group and Shashi Ruia will invest together and it will be a
intense competition. Gujarat is rich in source at oil and Gas. Kairn Energy,
Petronet, L.N.G., Nicco, sail, H.P.C.L have been attracted and managed for
production and expansion so Gujarat has become petro-capital of the country.
Gujarat has directed the country in many ways. It's highest industrial growth
rate is up to 15% Gujarat's contribution in export is 14%, 83 Industrial fields and
182 industrial residential have been set-up. Gujarat is no. 1 in telephone density in
the country. So, we can say that by SEZ better facilities will be afforded and
Gujarat will achieve sparkling achievement in, economic development.
Our chief minister wishes to make Gujarat no. 1 developed state of the country. His
dream is that people of Gujarat should live with pride and dignity and not in
helpless condition. For this industrial as well as agricultural development is also
necessary. Drinking water as well as irrigation and electricity will be provided for
14
the agricultural development. The Government has tried a lot for better roads and
better planning has been done. For the best infrastructures development, Gujarat
has formed 'Infrastructural' Development Board' for the first time in India. Gujarat
is the first state who has formed disaster management committee. It's aim is formed
to help people at the time of natural calamities. Our disaster management
committee helped people a lot in Kutch earthquake and reestablishment done by us
is really praise worthy. Even foreign representatives are astonished at how we
brought out our economy from effects of earthquake. The work done at the time of
flood in Surat is also praising. In the same way, the planning made to attract new
capital investment will surely bring outsiders to invest in Gujarat and there is no
doubt in it. By these capital investments and benefits declared by SEZ will change
the face of Gujarat-and its industry.

Not everyone is impressed with these figures as doubts have been

expressed over the conversion rate of these commitments. The Congress, which is
the main opposition party in the state, says Vibrant Gujarat is too much of hype as
the conversion rate is only 25 per cent. The state government predictably trashes
this. Around 60 per cent of investment commitments have actually come, officials
say. If these numbers are correct, its a significant achievement by any yardstick.
28
In his speech on the opening day, Tata group Chairman Ratan Tata said,
States usually take 90-180 days to give clearances for land and other issues. When
we were in the process of moving our Nano project to Gujarat, the state
government gave us the clearances in just three days. It has never happened
before.
The leading lights of Indian industry Mukesh Ambani, Kumar Mangalam
Birla, Shashi Ruia, Anand Mahindra, Tulsi Tanti etc. who were present seem to
agree, going by the fact that each of them committed mega investments in the state.

Investments during Vibrant Gujarat 2007
SUGGESTION
According to us, for sustainable growth, the following suggestions should be kept
in mind. Some important and essential suggestions.
1
The capital must be invested at proper time as declared by the industries and
obstacles problems must be solved. The Government should form laws and
make changes in Government policy.
2 The Government should plan earlier for the problems of urbanization and
transformation and government should form a managing organization for it.
3 Unhealthy competitions must not be done by the big industries, and small units
must not be affected.
4 Big units (industries) must be suggested about poverty, unemployment removal,
and stability of rate. They must be compelled to do so if necessary.
73
5 The industries must be encouraged and forced for the environment preservation
and balance in ecology.
6
Heavy industries must understand the concept of social responsibilities.
7 Big units should be encouraged to contribute for the "Progress of human being".
8 The Social Economic Zone should be set-up on uncultivated areas, and not in
fertile land, which is used for agriculture.
9 Politics must not interfere in the industrial development.
CONCLUSION
From the above discussion, we can say that the policy adopted by the central
Government for the rapid industrial growth and the policy adopted by Gujarat for
SEZ and capital investment is really praise worthy. Gujarat will be the no.l state in
economic progress, if we shall follow the policies. Gujarat will be a model state
and guide other states rightly. We should consider the problems that come in way
of development and accept the challenges to make successful the concept of
"Vibrant Gujarat". We should remember that the development is not possible only
by forming policies with the progress of industries; other problems must not be
raised. Society must walk with the concept of "Vibrant Gujarat" and there by we
will be able to solve the problems.
We must remember that the "The progress of deprive mass is the real
progress." With the progress of industries "Human progress rank" must go ahead
and there should be balance in industrial development of Gujarat.
74
We have humbly suggested the above points. If such suggestions are kept in
view, there is no doubt Gujarat will be the engine of social-economic development.
