Gujarat is one of the leading States in the Indian Federation and is often considered as an engine of national economic growth and a frontline performer in various sectors. Gujarat's robust economic growth relative to other States, gives Gujarat a place of prominence among the other States in the country.

Gujarat’s revenue collection has been strong in almost every sector. This impressive effort has converted Gujarat from a revenue deficient State to a revenue surplus State. The State, on account of its prudent financial management has also reduced its fiscal deficit significantly, well below the limit mandated by the Finance Ministry, while constantly increasing its development expenditure.

Investors prefer a Government that would focus on growth and implement policies that are investor friendly. Shri Modi’s stellar record of Governance in Gujarat , has convinced markets into believing that he is decisive and  can deliver results.

Assigning infrastructure development, as a priority sector, Shri Modi has implemented various infra-related projects in Gujarat, which have given a fillip to growth and has also demonstrated a model for Inclusive Growth amongst the Indian States. Gujarat's pioneering initiatives in various sectors such as Water Management, Disaster Management, Healthcare, Education, Women Empowerment, Rural Development, Industrial development, Investment promotion etc. have been applauded at National and at International level, and have  also been  replicated in some other States of the country.
