PM Modi to address on completion of 20 Years Of Vibrant Gujarat Summits On Sep 28 at Ahmedabad.
As Gujarat prepares for its next global summit, Two decades ago, when Hon PM had just taken up the reins of Gujarat, his primary goal was to position the state as the most attractive investment region.
Though the parameters might have changed (from promoting Gujarat to promoting India) the spirit remains the same. PM is reaching out to the world, inviting them saying that, look, India is going to be a wonderful place for investment. Where the first Vibrant summit was held in year 2003 by PM himself as the Chief Minister of Gujarat.
The vibrant summits held so far have been a resounding success that immensely contributed to transformation of Gujarat into a global business hub. The brand ‘Vibrant Gujarat’ that began as an investors’ summit has now evolved into an ideal platform for knowledge sharing, social and business transformation, gradually evolving into a round-the-year investment promotion exercise.
The Gujarat’s positive industrial climate ,and the ground realities provides enough evidence of how far-sighted policy has put the Industrial Growth on the right path.
True industrial development for any state or country is not just about making and selling products domestically but also about expanding the reach or creating a footprint outside the internal boundaries. Which has really helped Gujarat take giant steps forward toward industrialisation is the state government’s keen focus on developing the MSME sector & Vibrant Gujarat initiative
“Due to vibrant Gujarat introduction Now Gujarat has become a favoured destination for industrial investments after the then CM and Now PM who conceptualized and promoted the summit while he was chief minister of the state. The biennial Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit (VGGS) will be back next year after a four-year Covid-imposed hiatus. The high-profile international business gathering was conceptualised in 2003 to position Gujarat as a compelling investment destination.
Vibrant Gujarat” is showcase of economic development that makes for an “India Shining” campaign.
Gujarat has changed over the years, and so has Vibrant Gujarat Summit. From being a preferred investment destination, It is pertinent to mention here one name Maheswar Sahu, IAS (Retd). The man behind the brand and success of ‘Vibrant Gujarat’ summit
