Now it's time for India to steer ourselves, ride the waves and decide on our direction, destination and speed.

If the 21st Century is the era of knowledge and of knowledgeable human-force, then, to extol this force, Gujarat must form a strong bond with books.

Society and Government should together give priority to the poorest of poor and make efforts to provide affordable health services.

My experience in Gujarat shows that howsoever big a problem might be, it is not insurmountable if we have the will to act.

Our efforts for inclusive growth are holistic and not piecemeal; well planned and not knee jerk reactions; not for small changes but for quantum leap; making people the partners in growth not just beneficiaries; addressing the local needs by using global ideas and technology. And this is why our efforts in e-governance have been applauded the world over.

A state in India will have more traders than perhaps a European nation. Trade is a great way to integrate people.

If we decide, we can change the pitiable condition of Indian economy. We have to take up the responsibility and show commitment.
