Gujarat Limited: India Unlimited

Gujarat is leap frogging in the development statistics and doling a service to business community by Inviting them in herds. The guidance provided by the babus of state is incomparable to anyone in country. They are dot on the spot in facilitating the industrial production in the state, so much essential in India and state. Given the take what does government do about the rest of people who are in villages and small towns. They are secondary coaches to this bandwagon of development engine.

Let the workers who are otherwise occupied shift there base to new icon of power and development, even if they do there is plenty of others from the nation to join them. The state is creating plenty of employment opportunity for all Indians. But restricted to highly skilled and qualified sector, which even the state people are less capable of gaining from the catch. Gujarat has become global in true sense once it is sustaining on the pressure of land requirement efficiently by allocating vast salty, marshy and ravines to industrial giants. Good to see that state is efficient in land utilization, but what do we think about its agricultural base..needed a second generation reform in the sector. The state is purely missing the chance to revive the sector rather selling even this to large corporate farming or contract farming. A win industry-agriculture situation but limited to large and medium land holders. This does miss the large 70-80 percent of the cultivators who are not taken care in the agro-business model.

A huge investment in the canal projects and subsequent delayed distribution canals for fields where water was supposed to reach are now slowly diverted to setting up the industrial base. The state priority has changed and agriculture seems to bear the brunt. There is resource shortage every where if case of Gujarat is taken and has to market it self hard to sustain not only to outside investors but also to large investors in other state. A scenario would not go well with India's development agenda.

A resource which is well endowed in country lacks its presence in the small state, which inspite of having borrowed capital desires to be self sufficient in natural resources and human capital. At least this is in context of India is Unlimited but Gujarat is limited in its development scope.
