Could someone summon up the main points of his speech??? That would be nice.
(I dont have enough time and furthermore my Hindi is quite bad)
I dont think it covers all the points of his 1 hr+ speech.
But this is what indiatimes thinks are the salient points.
-I am here from the earth of Gujarat. From the land of Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel.
-If India has to make its mark in the global stage then we need to consider how we will govern our nation.
-We need P2G2. Pro people.Good governance
- I am an optimist. This glass(pointing to a glass of water) is neither half full or half empty. I believe it is full, filled half with water and half with air.
-The youth of India is fed up with corruption. They think they have had enough and plan to go abroad to escape it.Everyone thinks "What is there to do? Everyone is a robber. Why did God let me be born here." But I disagree.You can succeed here. With the same system.
-The ambassador of a nation asked me what major challenges India faces and I said the biggest one is that how we use opportunity.When asked what the opportunity was, I said the youth.Europe has turned old. China is old. But our India is young. Nearly 65% of India's population is under 35 years of age. And we need to use this resource.
-Gujarat's economy is one third agriculture, one third industry and one third services. They support each other and we have developed all.
-Over 6 lakh tanks have been built for the storage of water. We are the only state where the water table is rising instead of falling.We have a growth rate of 10% where as the national rate sits at 4%.
- There must be no one in the audience who has chai without doodh from Gujarat in it. All the milk in Delhi is from Gujarat.
-We are first in the world where we have a forensic science university.
-We try to strengthen the farmers. We follow the paradigm-Farm to fibre to fabric to fashion to foreign.
-Currently security forces are employed only on the basis of physical strength which needs to be changed.We have a university for security forces where a person can enrol after class X and can then join any security force.
-If you ask any person what is their main desire, they say they want good education for their children.That is why we have created a university for teachers. I say we have so much youth and export so much, why not export teachers?
-The whole world sees us a bazaar where they can dump products. We should look to make the world our bazaar and boost manufacturing.
-When South Korea hosted Olympics it was a turning point and all their manufacturing became popular worldwide.Here we had Commonwealth Games. Why we had it? Even those who organised it don't know yet.
-Till December end I was busy with elections. In January we had Vibrant Gujarat summit. 121 countries were there at it.I just had 10 days to prepare for it. But we pulled it off.
-Whatever products we make in manufacturing should have zero defects for a global reputation and should have good packaging.
-In Taiwan, the interpreter asked me if India still was a nation of snake-charmers,I said no,we are now mouse charmers. The youth of the nation has its finger on the mouse of computers and is changing the world.
-Answer to every problem is development, the country has been ruined due to vote-bank politics.Minimum government, maximum governance is what I believe in.
-In Delhi all the metro coaches are coming from Guajrat.
-If there is developement there is much scope for for a lot of improvement in the nation
