Vibrant Gujarat Summit is an initiative by the state Government to lure the Investors and Industrialists around the world and invite them to “pool in their money” in Gujarat & India.

Reportedly government has reduced a hefty amount of 15,000 crore from the Rural Development schemes, and using the same in various Infrastructure development projects.

Ltd., which from one small shop of Wafers and Sandwich in a crowded chowk, has turned into a major producer of wafers and other snacks as well and are exporting outside Gujarat as well.

Globalization has always been the key to development and Government’s agenda to bring Global Leaders into the country and showcase our talents and projects indeed is a good step forward.
