Swarnim Gujrat

Welcome to Golden Gujarat 
 
The strength of a pledge can never be underestimated. The pledge may be howsoever small, but the collective strength is tremendous. Just imagine, every Gujarati person takes a pledge to march one step ahead, then pledges of 55 million Gujaratis will propel Gujarat by 55 million steps and Gujarat will march to a level where it will not be stymied by any one in the world.

Come and join to make Gujarat a Golden Gujarat. Take a pledge for the Golden Gujarat.

About Golden Gujarat

1st May 1960, and with first ray of sunlight hitting the ground, Gujarat began a new era. This was to be an era of self confidence, of trend setting, of proving to the world, what Gujarat and Gujaratis have been known for ages. It was to prove to be a watershed in history of Gujarat.

The preceding years had seen a visionary struggle – a struggle for statehood, a charm for smaller geographical units with potential of turning adversities into advantages. The “Maha Gujarat Andolan” as it was called was led by visionary leaders like Indulal Yagnik, Jivraj Mehta, Harihar Khambholja and Brahmakumar Bhatt. The movement had its roots in difficulties for hinterlands of Gujarat to travel all the way to Mumbai for administrative affairs. As Government of India had already carved out separate units for administrative purposes in southern India on linguistic considerations, the desire of Gujarati masses was justified. After a long struggle of four years, the Central Government agreed to the State of Gujarat and under the leadership of Shri Jivraj Mehta, first Government of Gujarat was sworn in on May 1st, 1960. The oath of office was administered by Pt. Ravishankar Maharaj at the Gandhi Ashram and hence came into being a State called Gujarat with natural geographical formation looking like “Jaws of Lion”.

Since time immemorial, Gujarat and Gujaratis have been known for their leadership and entrepreneurial skills, for their risk taking abilities and for their desire to reach to distant territories seeking opportunities. Since the days of silk route to the trading ports at Lothal and Dholavira, Gujarati people have moved to different parts of the world and set their empires there. Be it to the mines of Africa or businesses of America or diamonds at Antwerp, Gujaratis have marked their stamp every where.

It is not just in business and entrepreneurship that Gujarat has led the way. The land also gave birth to Mahatma Gandhi, apostle of non violence, who initiated a new lineage to the philosophy of social reform and political struggles world over through his weapon of “Non Violence”. The land also gave birth to leaders like Sardar Patel, Shyamji Kishan Verma, Morarji Desai, Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, Shri Tribhovandas, Dadabhai Naoroji, Dhirubhai Ambani, Poet Narmad, Sarla Tai, Javerchand Meghani and Thakkarbapa to name a few.

Since the state hood, Gujarat has never looked back and achieved many milestones and has led the way for other states to emulate. The successes have come in many fields and through innovations - be it through two rounds of green revolutions to improve productivity in agriculture sector and make farmers and villages prosperous, through co-operatives and white revolution to empower women and provide a strong backbone to rural Gujarat, through inter linking of rivers and by taking waters of Narmada to every nook and corner of Gujarat and making every village self sufficient in their drinking water needs or by ensuring that every household in Gujarat gets 24 hour electricity supply.

The investment climate and industry friendly policies of Gujarat get affirmed when who’s who of business community from India joined with other investors from abroad on Jan. 12-13th, 2009 during Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors’ Summit at Ahmedabad and signed Memorandum of Understandings expressing their desire to invest over Rs. 12,00,000 Crores ( US $240 Billion) through over 8500 projects. The state has through its proactive approach established itself as a leader in setting up Special Economic Zones and has moved one step ahead with its emphasis on developing Special Investment Regions.

The State has also made tremendous progress on socio-economic front through strategic interventions in social sectors. The centers of excellence in forms of IIM, NID, NIFT, CEPT, IIT, Forensic University and Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Petroleum University for higher education and concerted action through “School Enrollment Programme” and “Girl Child Education Programme” has given fillip to the principle of quality education for all right from elementary education to higher education.

The recent recognition to Gujarat as destination for medical tourism has come after intense efforts. The state has made big strides in community health care through its “Janani Suraksha Yojana” and “Chiranjivi Yojana”.

True, the state has through its rich culture, deep rooted heritage and colorful vibrancy has compelled everyone to look at the state with awe and respect. Now that the Gujarat is completing 50 years of its formation, the state is celebrating its Golden Jubilee. The celebrations are not only for achievements of past i.e. the glorious journey that Gujarat has been through over the years and for land mark achievements across sectors but also for a vision – A vision of even better Gujarat, A vision of a prosperous Gujarat, A vision where every Gujarati person is educated, A vision where every Gujarati person is healthy, A vision of a clean Gujarat, A vision of Green Gujarat, A vision of modern Gujarat.

The Gujarat of this vision will be truly a “Golden Gujarat” and that will be achieved not just by actions of the Government but through equal participation by every Gujarati person.

Every person of Gujarat can be partner in this vision of a “Golden Gujarat”. He can do so by contributing in which ever manner he likes. What is required is only one pledge – a pledge of determination with dedication. The pledge may be howsoever small, but as Hon’ble Chief Minister has succinctly put it, the “Sankalp” - pledges of 55 million Gujaratis may be howsoever small, but the collective strength of those pledges will propel Gujarat on a path of development which will be unparalleled and unprecedented.

The time has come now to join the celebrations, to be partner in progress of Gujarat to make it truly a “Golden Gujarat”.

Come and join in this movement, take a pledge. Every pledge and every contribution counts. It counts for the vision of Golden Gujarat that all of us dream of.

“Let us take a pledge for the Golden Gujara

Gujarat is completing 50 years of its formation on 1st May, 2010. The journey so far has been quite gratifying. Today, the State is being looked upon as being closely with the developed regions of the world in terms of development parameters. The credit for this goes to the people of Gujarat. The Gujarati diaspora, too with significant has added to the progress and pride of the state. Overcoming many odds and adversities, we have been able to achieve this extraordinary feat. We have reached a threshold point of development and are ready to take off for newer heights. With the golden jubilee year, we will enter into our Golden phase.

Gujarat will become golden Gujarat when each and every citizen wears a golden smile on his face. Golden jubilee, therefore, is both a moment of celebration of past achievements as well as an occasion for resolving to move ahead with more vigour and commitment to fulfill our individual and combined aspirations. If each one of us takes one pledge-one Sankalp, howsoever little, either personal or public. I am sure, they will result into 5.5 crore steps which will enable the State to take a quantum leap.I wish that we celebrate the golden jubilee in such a way that every citizen gets involved; everyone has the feeling of belongingness in the progress of performance and pride in the celebrations.This website is a tool and a platform for all of us to come together to and shape the Gujarat of our dreams; a Golden Gujarat. Come forward with your ideas and suggestions about making Gujarat golden, share the material and literature about Gujarat, anything and everything you feel like sharing or doing regarding our beloved State during this golden and glorious period.
