The valedictory ceremony of the 10th edition of the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit took place at Mahatma Mandir, Gandhinagar. During the closing session of this three-day summit, attended by numerous presidents, diplomats, and business leaders from both India and abroad, Union Home and Cooperation Minister Shri Amit Shah said that while the first of Amrit Kaal and the 10th Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit in Gujarat has physically concluded, the resolutions made during this summit represent a remarkable achievement and empowerment. He noted that since the inaugural summit in 2003, it has strengthened the path of “Sankalp Thi Siddhi” (determination to accomplishment). Union Home Minister stated that today, India stands as the foremost choice globally for manufacturing and investment, with Gujarat being the preferred destination within India.
Shri Amit Shah said that when Shri Narendra Modi took the helm of the country, India was ranked 11th in the economy, and today it holds the fifth position globally. He expressed certainty that India will soon be ranked amongst the top 3 in the world. The G-20 summit, held under India’s chairmanship, had the mantra of ‘One Earth, One Family, One Future,’ and India is proud to emerge as a global friend with the spirit of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,’ he remarked.
Referring to Swami Vivekananda’s birth anniversary on January 12th, the Union Home Minister emphasized that by realizing the power and determination of Swami Vivekananda, India is confidently emerging with many new dimensions in the world today.
The Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit has proven to be a platform for new ideas and innovation. Gujarat has successfully attracted global investments in a result-oriented manner, setting an example for many states in the country. Shri Amit Shah expressed confidence that various states following this path will achieve new milestones.
Acknowledging the summit held in Gujarat under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Patel as a grand success, Shri Amit Shah said, “Gujarat has become the gateway to ‘Viksit Bharat.’ The participation of 4 heads of state, representatives from 100 countries, and 16 country partners is a success story in itself. Shri Narendra Modi’s idea of GIFT City in 2007 has flourished, and Dholera (SIR) has proved critics wrong, with Mandal Becharaji emerging as an auto hub, and investments increasing in Gujarat due to the construction of Petrochemical in Dahej, Bulk Drug Park in Bharuch, and BioTechnology Park in Vadodara.”
He highlighted that Shri Narendra Modi has adopted structural reforms, leading to increased performance and the transformation of the economy. Gujarat once considered a dark spot on the world map, is now known as a vibrant spot. Due to corruption-free governance, a peaceful environment, and transparent governance, Gujarat has become the preferred choice for investors worldwide. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, who tackled policy paralysis, Gujarat has become a policy-driven state.
He further emphasized that India is now a leader in the futuristic economy, pioneering in emerging fields like semiconductors, green technology, and biofuels. The credit goes to the state government of Gujarat for making policies result-oriented on the ground.
In the future, India aims to become the education hub of the world, with policies focused on both the health and education sectors. India is also leading in the fields of electric vehicles and the Green Hydrogen mission. The space sector, which had an investment of $9 billion at one time, is expected to reach $40 billion by 2040, he added.
