We are proud of 3 things: Democracy, Demographic dividend and Demand.

The biggest thing is that the people of the country have faith. That trust should never break. The public should have faith that this is the government they elected, and it's trying to work for their welfare with honesty and commitment. That's the biggest thing. If I can win the confidence of the people of India - not from my speeches - but by actions, then the power of 1.25 billion Indians will come together to take the country forward.

Domains like Trade, Technology, Tourism, Talent and Tradition have the power to redefine existing paradigms.

We have to address the issues which prevent clean cities, clean rivers, regular, uninterrupted supply of essentials like water and electricity.

To me technology used wisely is a catalyst to magically transforming the way we live.

A son of a poor man is standing in front of you today. This is the strength of a democracy.

Gujarat's e-governance projects have been recognized in the country and abroad. To give a few examples- Gujarat has the largest Wide Area Network in the Asia Pacific. It is the first State to provide broadband connectivity in all schools and villages. It makes maximum use of video-conferencing including trial of the prisoners. Gujarat's ICT based Grievance Redressal System called SWAGAT has got the United Nation's Public Service Award. In addition, it has received eleven national awards for our various e-services.
