Honble Speaker Sir,
I rise before this august House to present first Budget of second decade of 21st
century and the last one of 11th
Five Year Plan, in the backdrop of developmental
strategy that our Government unveiled for the years 2001-10. This is my 17thopportunity to present Budget to this House and I am happy to report that faith that
people of Gujarat had reposed, while presenting Golden Jubilee Celebration year
budget has been fulfilled to a very substantial extent.
The last decade has been notable in the development saga of Gujarat and its
genius has been recognized not only in India but internationally as well. I see clear
distinction between our development trajectory during the last decade and the planning
that took place in the earlier decades. There was a time when Gujarat was striving to
provide for basic needs of its citizens. However, a glance at the developments thathave taken place during the last decade shows that the State has come out of this
struggle and has achieved prosperity with peace, good governance, development of art
and culture, healthy life style, high quality of education and disciplined administration.
Through these, State has achieved a higher human development index and has been
able to provide higher quality of life for its citizens. Our development strategy,
inspired by Sarvodaya philosophy of Sarvajana Hitaya, Sarvajana Sukhaya aims
at holistic development rather than frittering away energies on disjointed efforts. Our
Government resolve is to use strong base of peoples power and resolute leadership to
realize the mantra that development of Gujarat would lead to development of the
nation. The resultant sense of fulfillment of the people of Gujarat is reflected in the
festivities during the Golden Jubilee year.
Suvarna JayantiYear has revealed tremendous strength of Peoples Power
and one has witnessed new strides in the sphere of art and culture. During the year, we
have made unprecedented achievements. Be it record breaking ninety nine hour long
vocal rendition at Tana Riri festival or record of preparing five thousand six hundred
Gujarati vegetarian dishes, Vanche Gujarat programme involving half a crore people
or Samay Dan of five crore man-hours or record in tree plantation, SwarnimSankalp or Khel Mahakumbh; all these milestones have given a new identity to
Global Gujarat. During this year, one lakh people have learnt to speak Sanskrit and
more than 20,000 people participated in a chess tournament establishing a new world
record. Presence of 101 countries and 19 States of India duringVibrant Gujarat
Global Investors Summit: 2011 including participation by developed nations like
Japan and Canada re-emphasizes the global identity of Gujarat.
The credit for this goes to our financial discipline, good governance and to the
resolute and visionary leadership of our Chief Minister and ultimately to the people ofGujarat at large. Planned and balanced development has been the basis of the success

that has transformed the spirit and the body of Gujarat during the last one decade.
This is the result of balancing the development process with a futuristic vision. In this
context, I quote the famous political thinkerEdmund Burke, The nerve that
never relaxes, The eye that never blenches, The thought that never wanders,
These are the masters of victory. Gujarat has presented before the country a uniquemodel of development wherein all sectors of economy i.e. agriculture, manufacturing
and services have been given equal importance. Rather than developing one sector at
the cost of the other, our principle has been holistic development at a steady pace.
We have planned for greater productivity of agriculture, larger availability of land for
farming and also tried to make farming cost effective and provide greater value for
money. Because of tourism and medical tourism, Gujarat has made a mark for itself
on the world map of hospitality management. This is the result of holistic
development.
Annual Plan of the State
This is the last year of 11th
Five Year Plan. During this Five year Plan, Gujarat

Apano
Taluko
Vibrant
Taluko
The true essence of democracy lies in having people partnering the
growth process. If people participate right from the planning to
implementation of the development process, then extraordinary
results can be obtained in the quality, speed and extent of
Government programmes. This has been the guiding thoughtbehind the paradigm of the Panchayati Raj. I am happy to announce
that in the Golden Jubilee year of Gujarat, as a part of decentralized
planning, we are placing before the People the scheme of
Apno Taluko Vibrant Taluko. Today, the development of
nation is dependent upon States and States in turn depend on
districts. Gujarat has taken a step further in this direction and wants
to involve the taluka unit in the development process. In this new
experiment every taluka will plan as per its requirement and
challenges that it faces and would carry out the implementation and
reap the benefits of development. It is important that every taluka
aspires to develop faster and this sense of belonging would give a
new stimulus to the development process. It is our goal that we
have competition across talukas through which we will be able to
take fruits of the development to the common man. During the
current year, I have provided ` 600 crore for the ambitiousprogramme ofApno Taluko Vibrant Taluko.
Accordingly, to provide infrastructure services for villages from
taluka headquarters, `2700 crore would be spent over next fouryears.
In this new experiment of Apno Taluko Vibrant Taluko,
expenditure on various development schemes worth ` 11,000crores would be made from the taluka level, over next four years.

retained the fiscal balance which reflects prudent financial
