As the Centre reels under acute criticism from all sections of society for failure to provide security and safety to the citizens of Delhi especially women and children, Gujarat has again shown the way by being declared the most ‘safe and secure state’ in India.

Gujarat has been adjudged the Best Big State for providing citizen security and one of the top three Best Big States for their overall performance at the IBN7 Diamond States Awards 2012. The jury comprising of Bimal Jalan, ex-Governor of RBI; Shri M Damodaran, ex- SEBI and UTI Chief; Gurcharan Das, eminent economist and writer; TR Subramanian, Cabinet Secretary and Bakul Dholakia, ex–director, IIM Ahmedabad and other eminent personalities decided the awardees based on the performance as well as data collected during the survey.

Resident Commissioner, Government of Gujarat Bharat Lal received both the awards from Speaker of Lok Sabha Meira Kumar at a function held in New Delhi.

Gujarat has received number of national and international awards in last decade for good governance. Recently, in November, 2012, Gujarat was also adjudged Best Big State (Overall) in the country for its performance by the India Today. It was also adjudged Best State for Investment.

When the whole world was reeling under the economic slowdown, vision of Chief Minister Narendra Modi made Gujarat achieve an unprecedented double digit economic growth along with peace and prosperity. Modi emphasised that growth of Gujarat is integral for India’s development, which can be achieved by developing a synergistic approach towards converting the slowdown into an opportunity for all to excel.

On one hand where security of teenagers (especially girls), women and aged people has been a growing matter of concern in the cities across India, Gujarat has presented an instance of being a safe haven for all sections of the society. Crime against teenagers, women and senior citizens has been negligible in the State.

Under the leadership of Modi, Gujarat has developed one of the best infrastructures and created conducive environment for its people to realise their full potential and excel in their chosen vocation. The State is power surplus and provides power to other States. It is free of labour disputes and issues relating to land acquisition. The growth and development has been comprehensive in all regions and all sectors.
