Eyes of the World are on India and Vibrant Gujarat 2015


#VibrantGujarat2015 #NarendraModi #BanKiMoon #JohnKerry Right now, the eyes of the World are on a resurgent India with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the helm of affairs. He would be inaugurating the seventh Vibrant Gujarat Summit in Gandhinagar. Present on the occasion would be UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon and US Secretary of State John Kerry.
Other dignitaries would be World Bank President Jim Yong Kim, Minister for Trade and Investment in Australia Andrew Robb, Minister for Immigration, Canada Chris Alexander are also present among many others.
Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries, has already announced an investment of Rs 100,000 crore in the next 12-18 months in Gujarat on the occasion.
Aditya Birla Group chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla has remarked that Gujarat is the most preferred destination for them and has also promised to invest Rs 20,000 crore in expansion of cement and other plants in Gujarat.
Yosuke Takag, Minister of Economy, Japan indicated that Japan is examining to doubling Japan’s FDI in India within a few years.
It is obvious that India is going places and the promises made by Prime Minister Modi will give tangible results in spite of innumerable hurdles. The Prime Minister has his own ideas of how to go about delivering the goods and appears to be a hard taskmaster. Once he can wriggle out of the web of red-tapism that the bureaucracy weaves around any venture, he can expect to get results. There has to be a sense of pride in what government officials do and, unless accountability is ensured, the final outcome may not be as desired.
