Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is all set to reach out to nearly 50,000 investors, inviting them to set up shop in the state as part of the 'Vibrant Gujarat Summit'. Preparations are completed for the summit at the Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar.
On the contrary, Opposition is of the view that the past six summits have hardly got Gujarat any concrete investment. Only about 15 per cent of the total investment pledged during the first four summits actually materialized. As per Modi administration, over 50,000 delegates from other states and 1,800 from more than 100 countries will arrive, but this time around it has decided not to make public the numbers of deals signed or the amount of investment that will be pledged.
Maheshwar Sahu, Principal Secretary, Industries Department of Gujarat, said that, 'we are not interested in lakhs and crores. Our only aim is that people should sign their intent to invest here and we will facilitate that.'
However, as per the Congress not only fresh investment slowed down since the first version of the summit, employment generation too has been sliding. Clearly, the government has realized that the only way to mask the growing gap between pledged investment and actual investment is to project the number of investors and not the amount of investments.
