| Modi is a man who loves challenges, and right from the day one, he has charted a definite course for the state’s development. During the last five years, he has successfully introduced new concepts and institutionalized them. |
| It was under his leadership that the ‘Vibrant Gujarat’ theme was conceived and the two Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors’ Summits in 2003 and 2005 together garnered 302 investment proposals to the tune of Rs 1,72,000 crores (USD 38 Billion) – the snowball effect of which is now being witnessed. What is more significant is the fact that a mechanism was set in place to monitor these projects for expeditious implementation and has yielded good results- 84% of these proposals have either been implemented or are under active implementation process. |
| Encouraged by the proactive approach of the government and the multidimensional reforms in all sectors, the global investors today are making a beeline for Gujarat which has now emerged as one of the most preferred investment destinations, and this was proved by the resounding success of the Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors’ Summit 2007 held on 12th and 13th January 2007. This two-day event which was attended by business tycoons and CEOs of the Indian and global corporate world resulted in signing of 363 MOUs (Memorandum of Understanding) and an investment inflow of USD 102 Billion. These investments are across several sectors and hold a promise of direct employment generation to over 13 lac people. |
Today when Modi looks back, he smilingly says, “I do not know how it all happened. It is perhaps the Almighty that made me perform, with the active support and cooperation of five crore people of Gujarat.” He further adds, “When your intentions are good, you always get the support from all the corners.” |
| Modi is not a complacent man. He is aware that the economy of Gujarat is far ahead of many economies in South East Asia, and his dream now is to position Gujarat as a state to be reckoned with the best business hub on the international platform. |
