A group of 35 students from America’s Stanford Business School held a meet with Chief Minister Narendra Modi today and discussed various aspects of Gujarat’s development model. The students are in Gujarat as a part of a study tour.
The students asked Mr. Modi questions about the achievements of Gujarat, good governance and about the need of an efficient leader with a strong decision power for building of a sound economy.

Chief Minister said the factors such as political stability, pro-people decision making, strong political will, people’s participation in development, transparent and progressive policies and the proactive approach of the State government are behind the success of Gujarat.
Investors from within and outside of India are coming to Gujarat as they have developed a trust for the State government’s progressive policies, stability and immense possibilities of development of Gujarat, Chief Minister said.

The industrial, infrastructural and economical growth of Gujarat has directly benefited the farmers and rural economy.
