Uttrayan-Makarsankranti...........the Gujarat way of Celebration.......................Unique Dariyai (sea) Utarayan at Khambhat

Hi Friends,

I know I am late, but I cant stop myself to write about Utarayan festival I have celebrated this time.

Generally, we Gujju people are more crazy about utarayan than Diwali and any other festival all over the year. Kites were flying 2 months ago almost every corner of Gujarat. Finally during the 14 & 15 January, all are present on their terrace, ground including small and elders for the whole day. In some cases till 2 AM, flying white kites and tukkal.

Now coming to my experience this year. This year Utarayan was on Friday, Vasi Utarayan on 15th Jan Saturday and 16th Jan was official holiday as sunday. So during these three days, I was in four different city of Gujarat, enjoying this festival in different mood.

• 14 Jan --in Gandhinagar(capital city of Gujarat) and Ahmedabad. 
• 15 Jan -- in Tarapur and Khambhat (one taluka place in Gujarat)
• 16 Jan -- in Khambhat whole day, enjoying Dariyaeee (sea) Utarayan. 

You all might know something more or less about utarayan in Ahmedabad or Gandhinagar, but in this article I am going to give you glimpse about Khambhat (cambay) Utarayan. This was the first time I have seen the Khambhat Utarayan. Some unique point about that;

• Khambhat is known for its kite making industry, speciall well fabricated kites that sells at above average price in market. Generally it is called "khambhati patang".
• I have seen people flying very large size kites all over the day. Generally here in other parts of Gujarat, we enjoy flying one big kite during the whole day and felt proud and satisfied. But in proper Khambhat the scene is different, almost all the people flies very very large kites continuously all over the day. 
• It is general tradition in Khambhat that people use to fly one kite with whole one Phirki. 
• They celebrate Dariyai (sea shore )Utarayan following Sunday of 14th January, so this year it was on 16 Jan. 
• On this day around 4 PM, almost all the people of Khambhat went to nearby sea shore, where currently salt has been produced. This continues to till 8 or 9 PM. 
• Just imagine four to 5 thousand people flying kites at one place, which includes more than 50% muslims and all are enjoying. Just see the below photographs to believe it. 
• It was like funfare with kites flying mandatory like thing. 
• There was no place to park our vehicle, police arrangement was adequate. 
• SALT agar (lake) were filled with Kites in water. It was like lake was producing kites instead of Salt. 
• During the Vasi Utarayan day (15 jan), after evening crackers were busted till the 11 PM continuously all over the Khambhat.  

In the end I would to have next Gujarat International Kite festival to be hosted at this place only,

• as it is perfectly suitable place for big kite flying (wind, space available and easy transportation)
• people were coming without invitation on that particular day. 
• We can promote Salt Agar tourism by this way. Central Gujarat tourism will be developed by this way.
• We can show the world how Muslims and Hindus are celebrating one festival with joy. 
• Local people will also participate with their giant kites. 

I do hope that Gujarat Government official take note of this event and organize next event at this place only like they has done this time at Mandvi and Tent city in Kutch. 

Last figure of Vibrant Gujarat Summit MOUs and some quick bites

Hi Friends,

Finally at the end of second day of Vibrant Gujarat Summit-2011, total "7936 MoUs were signed worth Rs. 20.83 lakh crore Rupees or 450 bullion U.S. dollar". 


Now talking about implementation rate, whenever any company sign MOU with central Govt and other Govt, conversion rate is 13-15%, while in Gujarat official figure is more than 55% and unofficial figure is 35%.................so whatever it may be ultimately Gujarat will be benefited.


Those who are talking about environment other things, Gujarat is also top in Agriculture with over 9.6% rate (national rate is 2.5% only), also Gujarat is top in Mangroves plantation (78 mangroves planted in Gujarat only out of 100 nationwide), Govt policy has been strict to tree plantation, removal and suaze treatment norms.......................................So with these figures shut mouth of such psuedo environmentalists. 


There are many more constraints/objections/views/interpretation/own judgments and against it there are real facts/figures/ground realities/clarification, which I will talk later in separate post.

One more record is going to be broken...........this time mass chess playing

Friends,

See the photo first,

This photo is taken from my office window. Ground is called "University Ground", which is popular for large, grand scale celebrations. This time one very large scale Government function is going to be organize here called "SWARNIM CHESS MAHOTSAV". Actual event will be held on 24th dec, but preparations are going day and night since last 10 days.

Four years ago Mexico City got into the Guinness Book of Records by staging simultaneous exhibitions for 14,000 chess enthusiasts. On December 24 the city of Ahmedabad in India is set to break the record with 20,000 participants. It promises to be a visual spectacle, with University Grounds turned into a giant chess board with 64 alternating black and white squares. 

I will surely post actual event photos soon. Keep visiting. 

GSI (Gujarat State of India) welcomes US Govt Official even they are guilty while USA denied Modi's entry on baseless allegations.

Friends,
 
Today, I am just reading one local Gujarat new, which says that some US govt officials are on trip to Ahmedabad -Gujarat. They are visiting site like Newly developed Kankaria Lake, BRTS, Riverfront and many other things. See the photograph and link to that news. So what force them to visit Gujarat.

 I just recall one unforgettable incident three years back, when USA (America) has shown its foolishness by virtually banning Modi entering into America based on propaganda spread by secular jamat of America. Lets see the what happened before three year, during last three year and reactions from various fractions.


 Now lets have some facts: You can verify it from any source, but have at-least 4-5 source, so that you can have at least nearer information.

• Modi has not asked for Visa at first, he has not even applied for it. 
• There was one Gujarati Diaspora function organized, where Modi was Chief Guest. 
• Muslim Groups in America has their influence over some senators, and to showcase their secular face they were opposing Modi's America Visit.
• They won in their cause by officially announcing their words thorough American Government. 
• Meanwhile Modi had visited China, Japan, Iserael as a CM without any protest and he did Vibrant Gujarat successfully after such visits. 

Now Indian reaction during that time: 

Our Indian News Media, which also sails in the same boat of fake Secularism, welcomed America's Decision.
Instead of questioning their base of decision officially, our Indian Govt had done nothing in this regard.
BJP and some other parties had raised this question in parliament also, but no one care during that time
Our most neutral, unbiased and lobby-less media had taken stand that US did the right thing by not allowing him. Just see here how they reacted, see the number of comments (2066 comments, I thing highest ever)

Then What did Narendra Modi at that time:

Fortunately I was the witness of Live video-conference done by Modi in reply to US no entry. He had given his speech as per scheduled through Video-conference and I was there at 4.30AM when Modi was addressing the audience at US. He did that VC through worlds largest IP based network owned by Gujarat Government called GSWAN. You can read about GSWAN in detail here.

He had said during his speech that " I will make Gujarat progressed that much so that, one day US citizens will stand in the queue for entry in the Gujarat ". Today we can see that clearly just within 5 years. 

I still have doubt about these US govt official visiting Gujarat, but they are here is a fact.  I know media will not highlight this as usual.I simply cant understand that how can they blame Modi for common reaction caused by 58 death, that also controlled within 2 days and total death toll was under 1000. While US itself did Afghanistan was causing more than 50K death after 9/11 incident. How can we forget Iraq war causing more than 1L death.....................is not it a simple logic.




See here how Gujarat has progressed during last few years

Updates-2 Vanche Gujarat, Khel MahaKumbh, Sanskrut Nationa Mahakumbh, Recent International Bird watching at Khijadia, coming Riverfront Marathon, Gunotsav 2009 and 2010 and many more………………

Friends,

I had talked about many things in last post. In this post I will try to give you some more updates, insights and progress report. Don’t forget to express your views after reading and clicking on Goog ads so that we can earn bread for the mentally retired people as mentioned in “A request” portion.

In this post I have covered two new things like Sanskrit Swarnim MahaKumbhat Somnath and International Bird Watching event held at Khijadiya near Jamnagar last week.

Now, lets take each one step by step;

Sanskrit MahaKumbh: This one is new for me. Modi had vision to have at least 2 lakh Gujarati student with very good proficieny in Sanskrit Language. Last 3^rd December, he has done that with this event at Somnath Location. There is one Sanskrit University and college there, where many senior person(some were above 100, Sanskrit visharad) got facilitated by CM. See this invitation card.

You can read more at http://www.narendramodi.in/news/news_detail/999

International Bird Watching event at Khijadiya: 

More then 700 visitors had participated in the conference, around 100 visitors around the world and around 450 national bird watching enthusiast from across the India had been into Jamnagar during 25 to 30Nov.

Two new bird watching towers are now ready for the bird watchers, Khijadiya - a 600 Acre wetland near the salty plains serves around 250 species of migratory birds, this wetland has specialty of salt and fresh water reservoirs. Gujarat Tourism Department has organized this conference to attract visitors across the globe.

You can have more details at this location also: http://findarticles.com/p/news-articles/dna-daily-news-analysis-mumbai/mi_8111/is_20101202/post-birders-meet-khijadiya-map/ai_n56408723/

Gunotsav:     This is not the new initiative. It has been going on since last 2-3 year. Main point is that they have made it more and more effective with detailed planning and methodology. This year though actual three day program will be starting from 9^th onwards, Modiji has interacted with all the officers who are going for the same through videoconferencing. Some excerpts of whole program and intentions and achievement.

See how prepared they are. A special site with reporting interface on daily base. 

http://www.gunotsav.org/gunotsav2010-11/default.aspx

You can hear modi speech about Gunotsav here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOE04OeH7a0   &

his surprise visit

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnTMvAKhHbI

“Chief Minister said that government administration spend most of its time in handling files and in meetings, but go out and in people to know their culture, also give motivation. Results, Gujarat has achieved in last decade, is an example of the miraculous success that can be achieved with the pre-planning and total commitment to pro-people programs, he said.

First program of Gunotsav in the field of education has filled the gap of past 30 years. Contribution of each government employee is crucial as their work, if done in completeness can bring turnaround results, he said.

Chief Minister pointed out that drop-out ratio in primary school has been reduced to two percent only with the campaigns like 'kanya kelavani'. This, he said, is something that government mechanism can take proud of.

Initiatives like Gunotsav will take government administration to villages and will link 'government files' with 'human life', Chief Minister said.

Shri Hasmukh Adhiya, Principal Secretary, Education Department, said that around 3000 officials of class-1 and class-2 cadre are participating in 'Gunotsav' program during December 9 to 11. It is the program in the right line as it has brought good results. Out of 32,000 primary schools in Gujarat, 9,000 have got grading rating, he said.

Secretary to Primary Education Shri R.P.Gupta said that Gunotsav has acted like catalyst and brought both quantitative and qualitative changes in primary education. Gunotsav held during previous year traced poor results among 25-lakh students in primary schools. Rectification programs, then, were carried out which had changed the performance of around 85% of students, he said.

Smt.Vijyalakshmi Joshi, Principal Secretary to Health Department, gave details of 'School Health Checkup' program and said that it will cover more than 1.5-crore children in the state and around 3,03,888 health officials will give their services.”

Actually above one is official version, but I have so many friends working as teachers, said that this is effective program and results has been already started. You can read some of them here, here in this link one of the primary teacher is using blog

http://crcrampurakt.blogspot.com/2009/07/taluka-level-training-on-gunotsav.html

Khel Mahakumbg: Earlier there were some confusion about this program and its format. But now much has been published about it daily news papers. It is initially district level completion and running well in each district, more than 2 L participants in each district across various events and age groups.

One thing I would like to show that, during any event, any topic, say it photography, sankrit, Art, Teachers, Books…………………………..during every Government Function, Modi has facilitated some 30-40 person in group, which includes very senior person in that field(above 80s), some middle age person (50-80) and young blood also. This thing is totally unusual, because such senior person has been never appreciated by Government in past in such large scale and appropriate time.

I will update more about Ahmedabad coming events like Kankaria carnival, riverfront marathon etc in coming posts. Also I will update about GIFT project and Vibrant Gujarat 2011.

Today I have visited again Mahatma mandir location, which is the venue for next Vibrant Gujarat event 2011. I have posted updates about it this post which for this purpose only.

Question – Why Japan, Singapore has made stunning progress (become developed nation)?

We all have such questions in our mind and not so clear answers also. Today I am going little bit deeper and tell you exactly who was the force behind and how he has done that. 

Goody goody things are already defined everywhere, like how to be successful, how to build nation, how to boost agriculture etc. There may be some variation region wise, but the matter remain the same. If any nation apply these basic principles, nation will surely progress. Speed of progress may be slow or normal. So what are these goody-goody things (answer to above question).

Control the corruption—Motivate your workforce and make them efficient—Policy defining for gray areas—Planning –Financial control—and many others

Now the problem is, if everything is written there then why there are so many developing countries even after 60 years like us and very few developed countries??? Answer lies in leadership.

Now take Japan for example, most of the times due to some extraordinary leadership with vision, makes above process much much faster. India & Japan got their independence almost at same time. If India got the problem of poverty and literacy, Japan also got severe damage due to world wor 2 and nuclear bombs. So what secret (Parasmani) Japanese got which lead them to be a developed nation?.  

His name is “PHUNSUK YOGOKAVA”- President of JAPAN 1948-1975.

Mr Phunsuk was the man with mission, no ambition. He had seen only one dream, prosper JAPAN in every field, be it infrastructure, education, transport, agriculture, foreign trade, export etc. He has dedicated his life for the nation. Motivated people, fill nationalism into them, made them work, defining policies for each and every sector, remove corruption totally, made people educated.  I can elaborate each field in detail, what actually he had done, but keeping your interest in mind cut short.

Now the turning point, I don’t know anything about Japan except that it is one of the developed nations. I don’t know anything about its president & what he did at early stage. But I do know that there is no alternative other than mentioned above, each developed nation has passed through this stage in the history with one extraordinary leader. Be it Winston churchil, Abraham linkon, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and few more.

Today I have written this article because I have felt exactly above things in last 10 years in Gujarat. All around development across the state. Do I need to take name of that catalyst dignity??. If you have any doubts about that, then read below post to have clear and neutral idea about what was Gujarat before 2001 and what is the current status. 

http://hims30482.blogspot.com/2009/04/2-gujarat-as-on-2009-after-2001.html

http://hims30482.blogspot.com/2009/04/gujarat-till-2001.html

I have to do this because today’s (sudo)secular media & journos will not show this. My Mother used to tell me one idiom, 

પુન્છદે(tail) થી પકડો તો કહે બાંડો છે, માથે થી પકડો તો કે ખાંડો છે, it perfectly match with out secular media. 

Secularism in India: They have their own excuses for both negative & positive thing (mostly negative) based on their wasted interest. In short vision-less & directionless guy. 

Let me know how many people are agreeing with me or not. 

So the moral of the story: Progress needs leadership with vision, action from not only govt but also from private and public. I have used Japan for the example purpose only.



Please don’t stop yourself to write a comment and also if possible click on Google ads, I am going to donate the earnings from adsense to mentally retired people and Panjrapol (shelter for holy cows) as mentioned at top right corner. 

Current Gujarat bashing problem and solution

Current Anti-Gujarat movement by Media and solutions for the same.
By Himanshu Acharya


In today’s media Gujarat-bashing and Modi-bashing is the fulltime business. This applies to print media also not only electronic media. Every channel which needs TRP booster do start Gujarat and Modi bashing and what are thier handy words;

Secularism * Gujarat Riot 2002 * Hitler * Communal * Saffron state * more than 2000 muslims killed * Autocracy * and many more …………..

We gujjus are now acquainted with this because we know the reality on ground, so we simply don’t care about it or ignore it. But wait dear friends, do you know what impact it made on other states, there single source of information is national media and when all media channels shows same picture they simply get the same. All other states people see Gujarat as communal, they know little bit about development works going on in Gujarat, but all know about 2002 and MODI’s role clearly.

Channels like TIMESNOW, NEWSX when started gave neutral views, but as the time passes they are also come in the queue of NDTV, STARTTV, INDIATV, ZEENEWS and the worst IBN7 ……

Just give you today’s example, in Rajkot zoo one black buck has been killed by probably stray dogs in the cage, now NEWX reports it in this way: They start with story of Salman Khan and chinkara killing incident happened in Kutch, and try to relate it with this Rajkot incident (without any logic)

These channels will not ask Hon’ble Rahul & Soniya Gandhi any tough questions, but they will surely ask Modi to apologize on LIVE TV show for 2002.

These channels will not show development, unique schemes implemented by Gujarat, but they will surely show single speech/statement given by Rahul, or any Shaktisinh or any other congress leaders. The worst is Manish Tiwari and Abhishek Manu Singhvi.

These channels will not show more than 110+ cases of encounter in small state Manipur alone, more than 100 cases in Maharaashtra, 87 cases in AP, but they will surely show merely 8 cases of Gujarat Encounter for whole day.

Although no channel is talking about Agriculture development seriously, but whenever they shows regarding the same they will show 2.5% growth rate, poor monsoon, poor farmers etc for their fancy stories but they will never show more than 10% agriculture growth rate of Gujarat and farmers income trilled in last 5 years.

These channels will not show that Supreme/High Court has given stay on
• Andhra Govt’s bill of 4% reservations to Muslims twice, same
• Andhra Govt bill of free trip of Christian to Jerusalem in Andhra,
• Keral Govt bill of making Govt Company which provides interest free loans to Muslims only and report to sharia board,
• Maharashtra Govt bill to promote companies which made bear out of Makka, Juwar, Bajra
But they will surely debate for full two days on
• Gujarat Govt’s Bill of GUJCOC which is similar to already implemented Maharshtra and Delhi law,
• compulsory voting bill

So what is the solution now, the key question:

• We all are mostly aware of all above things, we think a lot also, but ultimately we gave up by thinking that; Nothing can be happened in current scenario,
• There will be no effect of our efforts
• We feel satisfied in writing 2-3 comments in one of such articles.
• Some of us also feels that “I don’t care”, may be currently they are not affected, but in future they will.
• I have tried to change it but failed
• And many more excuses

But wait, there are some solutions and some persons who do not think so, they have tried in their own way and succeeded. And our solution lies in the same only. We have to do the same thing what they are doing, because there are only few examples.

There is a person called Mr. Subramanyam Swamy, who is from Chennai and head of JANATA PARTY, his party presence is not that much, but he stands up in every issues that affects unity of India, culture of India. Lets have a look what he did and how he did it and success he got
• He has filed petition in Supreme Court regarding RAM SETHU and argued very well with all the evidence, so that currently Supreme Court has stayed the dredging process on RAM SETHU. He has also unveiled link of Karunanidhi and his family member links into crores of dredging business.
• He has filed petition in the case of Kerala Govt’s decision on forming Muslim Corporation and got stay on that
• He has filled petition on Sonia’s origin but he failed in that case.
• He has recently filled petition to open the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya for Hindu Prayers,
• He has filed petition and got stay in the case of Chidambaram Temple transfer case.
• The list is very long and he got success in most of the cases.
• You can visit this blog to know more about him and other ongoing issues. janamejayan.wordpress.com/

Now the second solution: Become RTI activist.
There are many success stories in RTI field where Govt irregularities have been exposed by the RTI activists. You ask for information and govt has to give it. See this blog, how this man has utilized the RTI ACT.
rakesh-will-do-it.blogspot.com, www.rtiindia.org

Now the Third Solution: Become active member any nationalistic organization and work selflessly.

Now some practical solutions which we can combine workout:
Arrange fund of something like 15-20 Lacs (NRG help required), there are so many senior citizens who were good lawyers, we may find the same from our local area or gardens, motivate them, give them financial support to file petition against Central Govt or any person who speaks venom against Gujarat be it any news channel or any party. Our intellectual level is far more superior so we may not have problem in arguments in court. Central Govt has engaged Modi in 2002 and sohrabuddin and Ishrat Jahan cases, let’s now do the same to them.

We all were talking about need about our own national media channel which shows the real news and gives accurate information. But this seems still far from reality. But we have once such example which we had used during Gujarat Elections 2007. There was a Gujarat Channel aired on all cable operators in Gujarat on which continuous CDs of Gujarat Development has been shown. This channel has been stopped twice by congress under some law. We need to start it once again and with some more programs and news. All technical arrangement of same channel was done by one Ahmedabad based company which is active in this business. With the help of our NRG friends and local lawyers we can start the same channel on national level. It was web cast channel, which is directly shown on local cable operator network.

Use senior citizens maximum for their knowledge and expertise. Readers please give your practical solution by comments and more than that lets do some concrete, not only talk act also. Don’t just be happy on others take or action do it yourself also.

NRG- non residential Gujaratis, please give direction to your charity work

Dear Non-Residential Gujaratis & NRIs,

This article is for them who gone to foreign countries thinking that let go to foreign, earn some handsome amount in dollar or pound etc & will be back within 5-6 year and then live life peacefully and serve relatives, society, Gujarat. But unfortunately the same could not be returned in 10-15-20 years.

There is no doubt they are doing for their village, their community up to some extent, but totally insufficient, otherwise there would be no poverty, illiteracy there in particular community, society. Main thing is that NRG/NRI is only interested in making one Decorated Gate at Village Entrance or bench in village garden or chawk in the name of their mother/father or beloved ones.

• When their precious time is required for encouraging young generation, they do a make a Clock Tower in their village and name it after their beloved ones and get satisfied.

• When their experience is required in guiding the community or society to perform best, they give chief guest speech and appearance and feel proud.

• When their expertise and money is required to build some assets like schools, central gober gas plant or any long term useful thing for the their own Village, they are happy in making Entrance Gate in Village and name it to their family members.

So people have to think their selves, in which direction they want to go, self-centric, family-centric OR society-centric. They all have guts and now money power to do so otherwise they cannot live in foreign country till date. So main thing now is to think beyond towers, Entrance Gates, benches and target on maximum employment generation with maximum gain to villagers. Few examples, what they can do;

• Make central Gober Gas Plant in their home village/town and surrounding 5 villages. So that there will be constant energy and fertilizer source for future, and for maintaining same employment will be also generated. Now in almost all the villages houses have cattle so it will be easy also. They need to search/research latest development in this field, import the same to their village and see it implemented and well maintained.

• Promote the local specialty business/art internationally and make more employment and prosperity. Use their foreign contacts to promote the local business/art. Adopt local SAKHI MANDAL and made them good village level business houses just like you have promoted your business in foreign land.

• Use combination of contract farming and organic farming and install latest technology in farming and make everyone involved in it more and more happier. Don’t just make farm house in villages make it farm mandir by above and also add dairy farming component in it.

• Think for whole village, community and ultimately whole society. Promote the education more and more, start from your own community and set the example. Think beyond mid day meal school schemes and design your own schemes for local school full attendance and enrolment. Government will surely support you in such things now under PPP model.

• Make whole village floored with kota stones just like 100 years back instead of RCC.

There are many such things which can make whole Gujarat better to best. Only thing needed is your support with intention like to do something for society and that also without any expectation.

Tell me, do you find there following things there;

• morning tea at tea stall where 2-3 newspapers are there and people discussing the current topics with extra joy.

• Eateries where early morning you can take phaphda, jalebi, samosa , kachori or ganthiya and people queue up for the same.

• Office friends and area friends with whom you can sit at the night or weekends and discuss how’s life going, troubles, support etc. You can play with them, arrange some local celebrations etc.

• Family relatives with whom you can share your past good memories & enjoy each and every occasion starting from God Bharai to till Besna.

• Government support in each and every thing starting from online birth certificate to become entrepreneurship with human touch, very liberal approach now, they change the laws accordingly.

• Temples like Dwarka, Somnath, Ambaji, Dakor, Shamlaji, Pavagadh, Junagadh, Ashapura, Matano Madh, Pipalav, Vadtal, Bochasan, Palitana, spread across Gujarat and tourist places like Ambaji, Abu, Mandvi, Div, Pirotan islands, saputara, Nal Sarovar, Zanzari, Narmada Dam site, Kutch Rann and many more.

• Don’t you miss festivals lime Utarayan, Vibrant Gujarat (it is now festival in Gujarat) , Holi, Shivratri, Gujarat Din (1st May), Janmashtmi, Rath Yatra, NARVATRI, Diwalli, Annakoot. Taking blessings of our elders in each festivals etc.

• Don’t you like to be a part of special Gujarat Government celebrations like 26th January, 15th August and 1St may(Gujarat Din) which are now celebrated other than Gandhinagar. Now it is celebrated in different District Headquarter each time and you will be really amazed to see festive mood during that period in that particular District. Don’t you want to see successful Vibrat Gujarat Summit, Krishi Mahotsav (every May month), Kanya Kelvani Mahotsav, Vibrant Navratri, Kutch Sharodatsav, Ranotsav, Modhera Sun Festival, Vadnagar Tanariri Mahotsav, Vibrant Navratri celebrated by Gujarat Government. Please note Govt has now whole year calendar full of activities for every department.

Now don’t compare all above things with mere things you are getting over there, like;

• Cleanliness far better from Gujarat, but tell me didn’t you played in same mitti, ret in your childhood. Cleanliness is necessary, but not a must thing, sometimes it is required to learn something. Now Guj Gov has initiated Nirmal Gujarat abhiyan and it has received good response.

• Second point you will tell that here in foreign you earn some good amount of money; but at which cost; you all know the answer. Just accept it now.

• Other point is good Government support system; It is now available here also, just come and feel it. Better life is also available here today, just visit Amdavad today and feel the changes.

• Now you will tell it is very hot in Gujarat; yes it is true, but we don’t have control over it, then also situation is changing little bit due to large scale Govt Initiatives like checkdams, boribandh, tree plantation, mangroves, open canals etc.

Now there are no more points you can tell me, and I have so many things to tell you. So just don’t think much, just give a chance to your heart over your mind and decide accordingly. Money is not the driving force you mind and your good intention is the only driving force in you. So don’t wait for enough money, just get necessary money and go for your goals with which you had left the Gujarat. You all should read Book written by Acharya Shri Vijay Ratna Sundersuriji Maharaj “Kyak ruko, Kyarek ruko” & “Lakhi Rakho Aaras ni Takti Par”. I bet you that you will surely cry during reading the book. So don’t wait to convert million into billion, come here and get joy (santosh) worth trillions by making more and more employment, educations to all.

So people who have read till this line will definitely think about it and try to do the same, but here I would like to tell you that do not only try, just make it confirm. Your decision will surely give fruits within short time. Trust my words and your heart both and see the extraordinary results. This is the best time when Gujarat is celebrating Golden Jubilee.

Please Note: I am also an IT engineer. I also aspired to do something for my community, society after earning something. I had got chance to go foreign countries, but I had given preference to my family & society. I accept that with healthy money backup it is very easy, but without it, it is not that much difficult main thing is intention. So I waited for some years and now finally chosen the second way till I create first one. I will do this kind of indirect work and motivate and lead others who can do that right away. By doing this my ultimate intention is to serve my society, Gujarat and finally India.

Identify the politician

Herewith, I am going for most debated personality of India, it is better you go first by following para and identify him. In later part I have given reason why he is that much famous and successful.

First Case: Highly Educated Class

Have you ever imagine IAS/IPS officers (more than 40) to give honour to politician every 10th minute of his one and half hour speech by standing and clapping. He is giving speech on the topic of teamwork, proactive governance, power delegation with relevant examples.

Some of junior ones can do that for some specific reason, but senior IAS officers also did the same. So there must something extraordinary in that politician.

Second Case: Middle class

Have you ever imagined full pack hall, people are standing in the passage, some are watching him in the lawn outside the auditorium/hall. He was giving speech for changes required in Society, encouraging social activities, support to Govt initiatives etc.

All people come to hear him only. They are not interested in others, and when he starts there is a pin drop silence in the hall. Clapping becomes full stop of his speech.


Third Case: Village Level

Have you ever imagined free flow of villagers to hear a single person, and special thing is that more than 95 % villagers comes without any provocations like free money, breakfast, saree etc. They all come by themselves. He was delivering speech for encouraging villagers to start taking maximum advantage of rural schemes, ensure them for better life etc.

Almost all give reply in single word or phrase when they are asked by him. Rallies become live when he delivers the speech.

I think you all have single guess for the person, yes it is right. The name of politician cum motivational speaker cum village level leader is “Narendra Modi”.


You will not find same kind of personality in any of the politician in India today. So what is the driving force of this man, why there is undisputed support from every part of society. There are so many but to list some 2-3 major points, here it is;

1) His rock hard Intentions and his true Nationalistic approach, ……..which he derives from RSS, 3 years living in Himalayas, Saint like life for more than 35 years and regular yoga at 5 am.
2) He does what he says by delegating power to officers and encourages them to perform at their best. Set practical timeline and complete before that.
3) His belief in PPP model, involve mass, give them feeling like they are the stakeholders.


If you want to hear his speech given at Chintan bethak of IAS/IPS and Ministers meet, go here. It is in Gujarati

Gujarat as on 2009 after 2001 - you will not read/hear it in national media

Before I start you must keep in mind that

• We should appreciate 80-90 % work against 20-30%, if we find mistakes in that it is also not 100% or it is on not 80-90 it is 79-89%, then problem lies in ourselves.
• When we are clear in what to do (targets/dream/scheme), how to do (policies/collective efforts) and when to do(practical timeline), we will surely achieve target. Common principle for efficient government is to make everything straight, simple & accessible by all.
• Whenever work done by heart means you like your work, you feel proud in doing so (national/society interest work) than there will be a no stress, no complains, no age problems occurs.
You all thought why I am giving lecture, but it is related to our post. Just read on and you will connect all the dots by yourself.

Industrialization :
Earlier: Infrastructure without proper facilities (i.e roads), no long term policy, common policy for agriculture, industry, small scale industries, no interlinking of various businesses.
Now: Proper road connectivity, street lights water facility available in almost all GIDCs, separate policy for dairy industry, agriculture, small scale industries and that also changes every 5-6 year to improve further (keeping long term targets and make practical solution of small problem faced by end user/industrialist). Make everything straight and simple & accessible by all.

Agriculture:
Earlier: excessive use of water and urea, ground water level decreasing, no planning for new initiative/canal projects/dams etc. No government help to end farmers, one krishi university for whole state.
Now: Educated farmers to use drip irrigation and organic farming, not only tried but actually water levels are increasing in most of the region, new initiative like open canal (sujlam suflam), small checkdams, renovate all the existing market yards and connected it with main centers. Make four universities to reach out more and more region/farmers.

Security:
Earlier: As you read in earlier post
Now: No more gangs, Mafias active in all over Gujarat. Police become more efficient. Lease crime rate in all over India. Reforms in Home department. Police station are now connected through internet network, common database available in most of the police station – special software is developed by TCS and in testing phase in some police station. Forensic Lab is well equipped, new police university created

Riots:
Earlier: Frequent riots, curfew in sensitive areas of big cities almost 3 to 4 time a year.
Now: No more riot reported from 2002 to till date even after bomb blasts, and encroachment demolition (Mandirs and Masjids also), No curfew imposed in last 6-7 years in all over Gujarat.

Water
Earlier: tankers, droughts, schemes on paper, no long-term initiative/policy
Now: 98% no tanker, in last eight years we have received excessive rain but not less than normal, 2 Lakh Checkdams, boribandh(small checkdams with the help of empty urea bags), farm-ponds, PPP model initiatives, every year cleaning of major natural drainages in rural areas. Schemes as per particular region requirement. Make awareness in public about water. Interlinking of river and lots more but will cover in series 3 of post.

Light (Electricity):
Earlier: Frequent power cuts in villages, theft, transmission loss at its high etc
Now: under jyotigram all villages gets 24 hr light, Electricity board police station created and working efficiently to stop the theft, All the power generation stations were given target to increase in capacity, efficiency, and decrease in transmission loss. One of the reasons behind 24 hr electricity as they achieved in most of the areas. No free electricity but continuous light.

Economic Situation:
Earlier: deficit budget, frequent overdraft from RBI, mostly figures only.
Now: Find the loopholes, use latest technology to prevent the same. Now surplus budget, no overdraft since last seven years. Clear in incomings and outgoing, no hypothetical schemes like loan waiver, No free things, no free electricity etc.

Govt Companies/employees:
Earlier: Companies headed by political persons, rude attitude of Govt employee towards general public, loss occurred by most of the companies.
Now: All the things are predefined now. Targets, timeline and course of action. Companies headed by 100% IAS officers, better efficiency and results are in front of you. All the companies are profit making. Attitude is changed towards general public. One day governance concept introduced for some small and basic requirements.

Now you may want to know how these happened. I will go into detail each of the topic in coming posts. I will post some major initiative taken by Gujarat Government in supplementary post 2A tomorrow.

Now tell me is it not all round performance, is it possible without Government support, or is it possible without clear vision and targets. You judge by yourself and reply.
