When Gujarat was formed as
a separate State in the Union of India in 1960, the economy was largely dependent
on agricultural activities.
The industrial activities then, were centred around textiles and
its auxiliaries and furthermore, confined to only four city centres of Ahmedabad,
Vadodara, Surat and Rajkot.
Thanks largely to the pragmatic policies implemented by the Government and the enterprising
nature of its people, Gujarat today accounts for a substantial share in the manufacture
of various products in India, contributing almost 100% of Acrilonitrile, Cyanide
Salts, PMMA, PP, Melamine, Sodium Bi-carbonate and Phosphorous and as much as over
80% of Soda Ash, Xylene, Elastomer and LDPE.
The state invites investment proposals in industrial sectors like chemicals, petrochemicals,
pharmaceuticals, engineering, minerals, electronics as well as IT in addition to
the tourism and infrastructure projects.
"Gujarat has emerged as a good healthcare centre. It can develop further if medical
insurance companies in the U.S. recognise and pay for healthcare taken in India."
