About 33 SEZ have been developing under the new SEZ policy, and recently new Special Economic Zones have been granted to Gujarat.The SEZ founded by Adani Group in Mundra will be the biggest in area. Whereas Reliance'sSEZ in Jamnagar will stand at second position, and Sterling Biotech SEZ in Baroda will be the third biggest in area. Other Social Economic Zones are G.I.D.C.

Obstacle and hurdles of industries will relay be solved and Government has tried to be a "Industries" Friend region our impression is very good on others because we have tried a wt to invest in Gujarat, and industrialists believe that Gujarat is the best state for capital investment. Now they don't Say ''why Gujarat" but they Say "Why not Gujarat" All great industrialists have preferred Gujarat for investment and Gujarat is no. 1 in attracting investors. They will provide quality Production at a low rate and compete the international companies.In Social Economic Zones, big as well as small industries will develop and Gujarat will be the Global -Infrastructure in the World and Gujarat's map at industrial development will be changed. Gujarat has followed the modal at "Investors Summit" to attract the capital investors and we have amazed great industrialists and businesspersons by mar efforts. Investors will look into government policy and present condition of Gujarat. It is a matter at pride for Gujarat that great companies like TATA, Ambani group and Shashi Ruia will invest together and it will be a intense competition. Gujarat is rich in source at oil and Gas.

His dream is that people of Gujarat should live with pride and dignity and not in helpless condition. For this industrial as well as agricultural development is also necessary. Drinking water as well as irrigation and electricity will be provided for the agricultural development. The Government has tried a lot for better roads and better planning has been done. For the best infrastructures development, Gujarat has formed 'Infrastructural' Development Board' for the first time in India. Gujarat is the first state who has formed disaster management committee. It's aim is formed to help people at the time of natural calamities. Our disaster management committee helped people a lot in Kutch earthquake and reestablishment done by us is really praise worthy. Even foreign representatives are astonished at how we brought out our economy from effects of earthquake. The work done at the time of flood in Surat is also praising. In the same way, the planning made to attract new capital investment will surely bring outsiders to invest in Gujarat and there is no doubt in it.

Not everyone is impressed with these figures as doubts have been expressed over the conversion rate of these commitments. The Congress, which is the main opposition party in the state, says Vibrant Gujarat is too much of hype as the conversion rate is only 25 per cent. The state government predictably trashes this. Around 60 per cent of investment commitments have actually come, officials say. If these numbers are correct, its a significant achievement by any yardstick.

In his speech on the opening day, Tata group Chairman Ratan Tata said, States usually take 90-180 days to give clearances for land and other issues. When we were in the process of moving our Nano project to Gujarat, the state government gave us the clearances in just three days. It has never happened before. The leading lights of Indian industry Mukesh Ambani, Kumar Mangalam Birla, Shashi Ruia, Anand Mahindra, Tulsi Tanti etc. who were present seem to agree, going by the fact that each of them committed mega investments in the state.MONEY SPINNERSSome of the major sectors that attracted investment commitments

Vibrant Gujarat was also a personal victory of sorts for Modi. For the summit saw the world opening up to the state, this had slid in the worlds view after the 2002 riots. While Japan was a partner to the two-day Summit, the event saw participation from over 40 countries, including Germany, Spain, Italy, the US, the UK, Canada, France, Kenya, Uganda and Sri Lanka. In December, over 110 MPs passed an early-day motion in UKs House of Commons to support the summit. And this was for the brainchild of a man who was in 2005 denied a diplomatic visa to visit that country because of the post-Godhra riots slur. The first day of the event saw investments to the tune of Rs 7.5 lakh crore in sectors such as non-conventional energy, ports and shipping, special investment regions, power, oil and gas, petroleum, chemicals and petrochemical investment regions and SEZs.

Over 300 units in large sector and over 75,000 units in small and medium enterprises (SME) sector (excluding repair and services). Major production base for sponge iron, steel pipes and tubes, copper cathode, electrical, switchgear, transformer and transmission line towers, heavy fabrication, ship building and auto components. 30 out of the 83 product clusters in the State are dedicated to engineering and auto sector. Major engineering clusters in Gujarat include foundry, ship breaking, induction furnace industry, steel re-rolling mills, brass parts, oil engines, fabrication, machine tools, auto components and SS utensils. Gujarat accounts for 38% (564 km) of total DFC length (1483 km). The influence area of 150 km on either sides of DFC is being developed as Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC). 62% of total area of Gujarat State (18 out of 26 districts) would be benefited by DMIC development. 82 links in the DMIC influenced area would be developed offering connectivity between ports, industrial estates, hinterlands, markets and points of agricultural produce.

SUGGESTION

According to us, for sustainable growth, the following suggestions should be kept in mind. Some important and essential suggestions.1 The capital must be invested at proper time as declared by the industries and obstacles problems must be solved. The Government should form laws and make changes in Government policy.2 The Government should plan earlier for the problems of urbanization and transformation and government should form a managing organization for it.3 Unhealthy competitions must not be done by the big industries, and small units must not be affected.4 Big units (industries) must be suggested about poverty, unemployment removal, and stability of rate. They must be compelled to do so if necessary.5 The industries must be encouraged and forced for the environment preservation and balance in ecology.6 Heavy industries must understand the concept of social responsibilities.7 Big units should be encouraged to contribute for the "Progress of human being".8 The Social Economic Zone should be set-up on uncultivated areas, and not in fertile land, which is used for agriculture.9 Politics must not interfere in the industrial development.

CONCLUSION

From the above discussion, we can say that the policy adopted by the central Government for the rapid industrial growth and the policy adopted by Gujarat for SEZ and capital investment is really praise worthy. Gujarat will be the no.l state in economic progress, if we shall follow the policies. Gujarat will be a model state and guide other states rightly. We should consider the problems that come in way of development and accept the challenges to make successful the concept of "Vibrant Gujarat". We should remember that the development is not possible only by forming policies with the progress of industries; other problems must not be rais
