Gujarat is global gateway to India: Modi

January 11, 2013 18:39

Terming Gujarat as the "global gateway to India" Chief Minister Narendra Modi today asked captains of industry to utilise the Vibrant Gujarat Summit as a platform to send a "positive" message to the world to stay away from "exploitative" economic models.

"Once upon a time, Gujarat was the gateway to the globe from India. Now it is becoming the global gateway to India. We will make such a Gujarat that whole world will make it their home," Modi said addressing the inaugural session of VGS 2013.

"I reiterate that this event is not just about investments, its not just about projects which give financial returns. Its about bringing positivity in the economic environment. Its about inducting togetherness in our socio-economic activities.

Its about bringing global and local inclusiveness in our economic process," he said. Addressing a galaxy of global, national and local industrial leaders, he also promised to take the state's success story a step further.
