Gujarat development
Modi took charge of Gujarat when its economy was shrinking and the domestic growth was stagnant.[39] Faced with massive economic losses, he re-organised the government's administrative structure and embarked upon a massive cost-cutting exercise.[40] As a result of his elaborate efforts, Gujarat registered a GDP growth rate of over 10% during his first tenure. This was the highest growth rate among all the Indian states.[41]
As a Chief Minister, Modi concretely put to practice his envisaged Gujarat by means of various yojana.[42] This includes Panchamrut Yojana,[43][44][45] a five-pronged strategy for an integrated development of the state, Sujalam Sufalam, a scheme to create a grid of water resources in Gujarat in an innovative step towards water conservation and its appropriate utilization.
