In a visionary address at the MSME Conclave, Union Minister Piyush Goyal outlined Gujarat’s pivotal role in achieving ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’. He emphasized that the state will emerge as the primary growth engine, driving India’s transformation into a developed nation by 2047.
Goyal highlighted Gujarat’s robust industrial ecosystem, world-class infrastructure, and entrepreneurial spirit as key strengths. ‘Gujarat is not just a state; it’s the powerhouse that will fuel India’s economic ascent,’ he declared. The conclave brought together thousands of MSME stakeholders, policymakers, and industry leaders to discuss strategies for sustainable growth.
The Minister detailed government initiatives like credit guarantees, technology upgradation schemes, and export promotion programs tailored for MSMEs. He stressed the need for innovation, digital adoption, and global competitiveness to meet the ambitious targets. Gujarat’s ports, seamless logistics, and business-friendly policies position it uniquely to lead this charge.
Goyal also addressed challenges such as skill gaps and market access, announcing new measures to bridge them. He urged MSMEs to leverage opportunities in green energy, semiconductors, and defense manufacturing—sectors where Gujarat is making rapid strides. The event underscored a collective commitment to self-reliance and inclusive development.
As India eyes a $30 trillion economy by 2047, Goyal’s words resonated deeply. Gujarat’s transformation from a textile hub to a global manufacturing leader exemplifies the ‘Make in India’ success story. With focused efforts, the state is poised to propel the nation towards its tryst with development.
