Chief Minister Narendra Modi today exuded confidence that the Gujaratis who had established Gujarat's unique identity in the state's development would soon unleash their competence and proficiency at the global stage, too.

Addressing a World Conference of Non-Resident Gujaratis' (NRGs) at the Mahatma Mandir here, he said that even as Gujarat's yearlong golden jubilee celebration comes to an end, begins the state's new golden age. The celebration also helped each Gujarati put forward his best foot forward. It is being attended by nearly 3,000 NRGs from different states of India and abroad.

He asked every Gujarati family to bring at least five Non-Gujarati families on the tour of Gujarat to accelerate the tourism activities in the state.

Tourism and NRG department Minister Jaynarayan Vyas said in his welcome address that Gujaratis living in 18 states of India and 12 nations organized various programmes to celebrate the golden jubilee year of Gujarat. “In industrial development, Gujarat has reached on top from the eighth position in the past. Electricity is made available to all the villages of Gujarat during last decade and Narmda water is now being supplied to the areas of Kutch and Saurastra”, he said.

Gujarat's agro production has increased from Rs.10,000-cr to Rs.50,000-cr, while one tenth of total milk in India is produced in Gujarat only, Mr. Vyas said.

‘Gujarat Global' – a coffee table book was released by Chief Minister on the occasion.

Chief Minister unveiled a silver coin which was brought out by Gujaratis living in America with a view to chip in to the making of world's tallest statue of Sardar Patel – ‘Statue of Unity' – in Gujarat.

Gujarat Assembly Speaker Ganpat Vasava, MP Purshottam Rupala, Cabinet members, Assembly Whip Pankaj Desai, Chief Secretary A.K.Joti, IAS officers, NRGs and people in large number were present on the occasion.

“ராணி வேலு நாச்சியாரின் பிறந்தநாளில் அவருக்கு மரியாதை செலுத்துகிறேன். துணிச்சலையும், வியூகத் திறமையையும் கொண்டிருந்த அவர், இந்தியாவின் துணிச்சல் மிக்க வீராங்கனைகளில் ஒருவராக நினைவுகூரப்படுகிறார். காலனித்துவ ஒடுக்குமுறைக்கு எதிராகக் கிளர்ந்தெழுந்த அவர், இந்தியாவை ஆள இந்தியர்களுக்கே உரிமை உண்டு என்பதை வலியுறுத்தினார். நல்லாட்சி மற்றும் கலாச்சார பெருமைக்கான அவரது உறுதிப்பாடும் போற்றத்தக்கது. அவரது தியாகமும் தொலைநோக்குத் தலைமையும் பல தலைமுறைகளை ஊக்கப்படுத்தும்.”
