Gujarat tops the list in providing single window clearance to entrepreneurs, 'Entrepreneurial India: Sculpting the Landscape', a report released by KPMG and Tie, said. The report evaluated the system in Gujarat and five other industrialized states, viz. Punjab, Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Maharashtra.

"Gujarat tops the list in providing single window clearance to promote entrepreneurship, easy land transfer and land bank for small players. There is also increased focus on vocational training and skill-based education in the state," according to the report.

However, entrepreneurs feel that to a large extent the single window

mechanism is only for select marquee projects. Not all projects receive the same treatment and still face delays, the report said.

The report said that while entrepreneurs in Gujarat recognise the state's efforts and willingness to promote entrepreneurial development, they also stressed on the need to create modern social infrastructure in terms of education, healthcare and tourism.

"The entrepreneurs in Gujarat are satisfied with their government's quick policy decisions. They, however, are hopeful of quicker implementation," it said. The KPMG and Tie report said that Gujarat and the five other states are moving in the right direction to encourage entrepreneurship.
