kabira Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Very Significant growth in Agriculture and service sector. I must say I played part in service sector growth. :--D GANDHINAGAR: Gujarat's gross state domestic product ( GSDP) grew by 11.58 per cent during 2010-11, with all three sectors — agriculture, industry and services — demonstrating an impressive double digit growth rate for the first time since 2005-06. Latest official figures, prepared by the directorate of economics and statistics, show that agriculture, which had stagnated in the preceding two years, performed the best with 16.73 per cent. The service sector came next, growing by 12.24 per cent, while the industrial sector grew by exactly 10 per cent. What is particularly significant is that, for the first time in the last one decade, Gujarat managed to achieve a double-digit rate of growth in two consecutive years. In 2009-10, Gujarat's economy grew by 10.23 per cent. The state has finished the decade on a buoyant note, after the initial setbacks because of the earthquake in 2001 and the communal riots in 2002. On an average, Gujarat's economy grew by a remarkable 10.3 per cent over the last one decade, from 2001-02 to 2010-11, something that chief minister Narendra Modi would almost certainly like to highlight as he ruled right through this period. The decadal growth of all three sectors was in double digits — 10.7 per cent for agriculture, 10.3 per cent for industry and 10.9 per cent for services. Officials said the figures showed a very healthy trend of overall robustness in the state, helped by good rainfall during the 2000s and the extension of the Narmada canal network. The successive Vibrant Gujarat summits, which brought in heavy investments, had put Gujarat on a growth trajectory that would lift India's GDP as well. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/Gujarat-does-a-double/articleshow/8430202.cms
kabira Posted May 19, 2011 Author Posted May 19, 2011 I was surprised reading this Agriculture scientist M S Swaminathan rightly puts it, “Gujarat owes it to a scientific and integrated approach to agriculture during Narendra Modi’s tenure which is backed by a sharp vision.” Narendra Modi Gujarat, Gujarat Growth, Why gujarat no 1, Gujarat development, Narendra Modi gujarat development Gujarat's GDP has been growing at 12 per cent, as fast as China's, under the leadership of Chief Minister Narendra Modi; this has left many states behind The initiative of Modi government to provide soil health cards to farmers has brought second ‘Green Revolution’ in Gujarat. The state has now changed gears to become an auto hub. After Tata, Hero Honda, the world’s largest two-wheeler maker, is set to establish a manufacturing unit in the state.
Stuge Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Also its a dry state i.e No Sale of Liqueur anywhere in Hotels etc .Still they manage to handle quite nicely.
Ramzz Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 This guy is a development freak. I visited gujarat after 10 years and the change is unbelievable. Even my home tow, which is a small village in Kutch has benefited with hospitals, roads and power.
gaurav92 Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Modi is the Man :hail::hail::hail::hail: Oh wiat, I must be specific here. Narendra Modi is the man :hail::hail::hail::hail::hail:
ravishingravi Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 As I said earlier, I would vote this guy to be the leader of India. But..... I has been Ahmedabad last year and absolutely amazed at the work being done there.
achilles Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Why can't every Indian leader be as good as him and Nitish Kumar! Narendra Modi makes me proud to be a Gujarati. The moment I tell someone I'm a Gujju, we have a long discussion about how Gujarat is doing.
kabira Posted May 20, 2011 Author Posted May 20, 2011 industry and service I guess it was given, gujarat would have done it anyways with or without Modi. But agricultural growth is absolutely stunning and unbelievable and I keep hearing about out of box thinking from Modi and usage of science has helped. And above all, there was hardly any corruption in that area.
Dravid Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Also its a dry state i.e No Sale of Liqueur anywhere in Hotels etc .Still they manage to handle quite nicely. it maybe a dry state, but i bet ppl in GUJ drink more then in any state:hysterical:
Misu243 Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Great to hear. I can't wait to visit Ahmedabad and of course my native Nadiad!
achilles Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 it maybe a dry state' date=' but i bet ppl in GUJ drink more then in any state:hysterical:[/quote']
Khalpat Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I wonder sometimes why these kind of news are never on TV media. Not only for Gujarat, but for other states also can't we have one documentary or one discussion about how good a particular policy has been implemented in particular state. Does negativity sells more than Positivity. We have so many Reliance rating, rediff rating etc for Cricket teams can these kind of ratings not be done for Indian states officially.Let everybody in India know who is working good and who not.
