At the recently concluded Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit, Shri
Narendra Modi emphasized upon Gujarat’s growing importance in the world. He
said, “Earlier, Gujarat was the gateway to the Globe from India. Now it is
becoming the Global gateway to India.” This is certainly true
metaphorically, because of Gujarat’s engagements with the world in the fields
of Industry, Education and Technology, it is also true literally, since today, Gujarat’s ports account for 26% of
total national cargo and 72% of cargo handled by ports under State Governments
of India. If the Kandla port is included, Gujarat handles 35% of the national
cargo.
This has been possible because of Shri Narendra Modi’s vision,
leadership and his focus on the holistic development of the entire coastal
region. Gujarat has a coastline of 1600 Km, which is the largest among any
state in India.Speaking about his ideas for the development of Gujarat’s coasts,
Shri Modi said, “We have
launched an ambitious programme for all round development of our coastal belts
(Sagarkhedu Vikas Yojana). Along with this, we are setting up new port
cities in coastal locations. Investments in world-class rail-road-pipeline
infrastructure linking the coastline have helped Gujarat’s ports dominate
India’s maritime scenario.”
Ports – an integral part
of Gujarat’s Development Process
Laying down his vision for integrating ports with other
Infrastructure, Shri Modi said, “Our progress and development is
not just limited to ports. Our vision is for port led development with port
based Special Economic Zones, ware-houses, cold storage networks, railroad
connectivity and related infrastructure facilities being established”. Consequently, many of the SEZs planned and 9
of the 13 existing SIRs in Gujarat are port based.Realizing the importance of linking ports to roads and railways. This model has made connectivity possible at Mundra, Dahej, Pipavav Navlakhi, Bhavnagar and
Okha.
