The Planning Commission set a target for Gujarat to achieve 10.2 percent rate of growth. We have achieved 10.6 percent growth," he said at the Vigyan Bhavan convention centre that was the two-day venue of the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas. "This time again, the Planning Commission has set a target of 11.2 percent growth rate for Gujarat - the highest for not only any state in the country for any Asian state. Gujarat will fulfil the expectations of the country," he said to more applause from the audience. The Gujarat government is to create two Special Investment Regions (SIRs) with a view to provide a major thrust to the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial corridor project, chief minister of Gujarat Narendra Modi said. Gujarat, which is a capital for special economic zones in the country by housing about 60 SEZs, has identified two SIR regions. Ahmedabad-Dholera is estimated to attract investments to the tune of about Rs 50,000 crore, generating job opportunities for over two lakh people. Baruch-Dahej region is expected to attract investments of about Rs 28,000 crore. Modi pointed out that the state was ahead of other state governments in facilitating industrial investments as also improving the quality of citizens' life. Modi’s sales pitch for Gujarat is that it the state has
attracted investments to the tune of Rs 56,000 crore in 2004 and
that his government has identified 300 projects in which NRIs can
put their money in. "We welcome NRI brothers and sisters to
Gujarat”
According to Punjab press report, Punjab is rapidly moving up in production of engineering goods, pharmaceuticals, leather goods, food products, textiles, electronic goods, sugar, machine tools, hand tools, agricultural implements, sports goods, paper and paper packaging. According to Express India, Aug. 23, 2008, All the hype and fanfare notwithstanding, the NRI Sammelan held in January this year has been able to generate just a single project, an agro-based industry for manufacturing juices and carbonated drinks by Oasis Beverages, near Ludhiana. The project has received the nod of the Empowered Committee on Mega Projects and a letter of intent (LoI) has been issued. The only other NRI investment in agro industry so far is the Food Park at Sirhind, a joint venture. Punjab hopes the new industrial policy and major infrastructure projects it plans to roll out from this year will be able to make a difference. Notably, as much as 25 to 40 per cent of bookings in projects such as Emaar-MGF’s Mohali Hills, Parsvnath’s Pride Asia, Pearls City Mohali, to name a few, have come from NRIs. From New York, Sohan Singh Randhawa said:
NRI Jassi Khangura, MLA from Qilaraipur, sent some shocking pictures from Punjab This week, NRI Jassi Khangura, MLA from Qilaraipur, Ludhiana sent some photos that what is happening in Punjab including last year’s Panchayat election, We believe that he might sent thes photos 1000s NRIs. I have come to believe that we should see these photos. Seeing the bodies makes the crime more real, rather than something of a campfire horror story. It is easy in our own safe little worlds to see violent crime as something distant, something that happens to 'other' people. We cannot, myself included, always wrap our minds around the gravity of these crimes. The fact of the matter is that murder does not discriminate. It can happen to anyone. These killers are hidden from us until they choose to make themselves visible. I hope that when you view the photos below, you come away with a better sense of what actually occurred. These are not nightly news sound bites over footage filmed half a world away. If fairy tales were once used to frighten and forewarn us, then these are the new fairy tales. We must listen closely to the tales the bodies tell.
Now, some young educate leaders are coming in politics. They understand all kind of the problems. In coming years, media and technology is becoming so powerful that it will help voters who is doing great job. Few examples are:
