Copying this post from other thread.
From the ICICI-PRUDENTIAL INDO ASIA EQUITY FUND PROSPECTUS
Ø Agricultural Growth = 11.6% pa
Ø GDP Growth = 13.2% pa
Ø Easy availability of Road,Power,Ports,Telecom and other infrastructure facility
Ø Single window clearances
IS IT IN INDIA OR IN CHINA ?
IT IS THE STATE OF GUJARAT
- FROM 1994 TO 2004 , Souce : The Economic Times
The state of Gujarat has grown by 11% p.a. in terms of agricultural
production and 16% p.a. in terms State GDP in the last ten years
which is a better growth rate compared to the Chinese growth rate
of 10% p.a. in the last ten years. If Gujarat, which suffered from
natural calamities like earthquake, drought and cyclones, can achieve
such high growth rate, there is no reason to disbelieve that if India
follows the Gujarat Growth Model, it shall outperform the Chinese
growth.

Usually, I am very skeptical about politicians and what they say but here is a speech/debate that truly is intellectually stimulating.
Its by Narendra Modi and I know that just his name brings about extreme emotions in people and that includes me (mostly negative) but let's leave that aside for the moment and concentrate on the message instead of the messenger.

I would suggest that every Indian should watch all five parts of the video and ponder & reflect over what Modi said.

Swaminomics from Sunday Times...
Many observers have criticised SEZs as land grabs that impoverish the poor.
Yet, in one state, SEZs are coming up rapidly, with no agitations, no disputes - and hence no newspaper headlines! This is Gujarat. It already has five functioning SEZs, with 12 more ready to start in 2008.
Gujarat embarked on port-led development in the 1990s, encouraging captive and private ports and seeking to link these to industrial parks. This approach evolved into SEZs: Gujarat enacted its own SEZ law in 2004. So, when New Delhi announced a national SEZ policy in 2006, Gujarat was way ahead of the competition.
The original SEZ policy of the state had norms that really should have been included in the national policy.
First, every SEZ promoter had to be an industrialist, not a builder, ensuring that this was an industrial project and not real estate in disguise.
Second, the promoter had to have an anchor project of his own in the SEZ. This ensured provision of high-class infrastructure, which a builder might neglect.
Third, the promoter had to buy land voluntarily from farmers and not expect state acquisition on his behalf. This avoided the heart-burning seen in Orissa and West Bengal.
Gujarat's flying start in SEZs owes something to geography and history. It has a long coastline, with deep water (no dredging needed) in the Gulf of Kutch. This Gulf has virtually no monsoon, so ports can be built without expensive breakwaters.
Gujarati farmers are entrepreneurial, and use money from land sales to fund businesses like trucking. Reliance, which bought land voluntarily from farmers in Jamnagar, outsourced trucking, and many of the truck operators are former farmers.
Gujarat's land records are good, partly because of history (this is the state of Gandhiji, Vallabhai Patel and Vinoba Bhave). So, land disputes are few.
Landless labourers get no compensation, and in some states fear that they will be jobless after acquisition for SEZs. However, low-grade farmland in coastal Gujarat has few landless labourers. Mundra Port in Kutch has a labour shortage, and imports workers from North India.
Gujarat's experience shows that SEZs can, if properly conceived and executed, be blessings that enrich rather than impoverish local farmers. But clearly Gujarat's experience cannot be replicated in states with very different geography and history. This drives home the lesson that the ideal SEZ policy would have been to create only a few big SEZs in the best locations, not hundreds of SEZs in flawed locations across all states.

The Modi Bull Run to continue with another massive rally, if Gujarat Inc. was a listed company today, it would have hit buyer circuit.!!!!
It was a no holds barred campaign, I used to receive at an average a dozen SMSs per day.... Here's a sample of the "milder" versions:
Arz Kiya hai....
1) Yuh to Gyara Mulko ki sarkar Modi ko harane ki kohish kar rahe hain...
Lekin ye jante nahin ke Modi ko harana Mushkil hi nahin, Namumkin Hai!!
2)Hukumat Congress ka Kwab Hai,
Par BJP bhi lajawab Hai...
agar Sonia Italian Shabab Hai..
To Modi Bhi Gujarat ka nawab hai!!!
3)Congress Ko Sharafat Sikha Denge,
Hamari Bhi Takat Dihka Denge,
Dur Rehna e Congress Hamse,
Varna Gujarat To Kya,
Pakistan main Bhi Modi ko Jita Denge!!
Some of the SMSs were of a much "stronger" variety, but am not posting them here, since it would violate the "TED Code Of Conduct"
