Let’s welcome the new decade with a resolution for a stronger tomorrow…
31. December 2010 14:13Friends,
2010 is on the verge of fading away. The first decade of 21st century has passed by as if in a jiffy.
A new decade 2011 is at our doorstep. My heartiest greetings for a happy New Year!
How did our state fare at the end of 20th century and today after the first decade of the 21st century, in what direction are we heading? Let us take stock of the situation.
The last decade meant a decade of fast paced developments. Even amidst the storms of adversities, natural calamities, nerve-wracking problems and conspiracies, Gujarat sailed through perpetually onto the path of progress.
Let’s first look into the adversities that came in all shapes and sizes!
Gujarat had not even come out of the most catastrophic Kutch earthquake which enveloped the state as a deadly shroud that another horrendous and inhuman terrorist act shook Gujarat. Innocent Karsevaks were burned alive in a train at Godhra. To add, several scams in state co-operative banks shook the economy of Gujarat. To restore the public confidence in co-operative banking was indeed an uphill task. Surat floods, terror attacks on Akshardham temple, serial bomb blasts in Ahmedabad & Surat, cyclones, and other natural calamities were all unnerving challenges.
