AHMEDABAD: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday claimed that global meltdown has not affected the industral scenerio in the state.
"The world is facing the meltdown but Gujarat, it seems, is not a part of that development as we inaugurated major projects during this phase," Modi told reporters here.
On the contrary, he said, the meltdown can turn out to be a good opportunity for the state to showcase its industrial might.
In a reply to a question on meltdown severely affected three key industrial sectors- Diamond, Chemicals and Textile, Modi tried to pass on the problem to the Centre.
"These sectors' prospects are directly based on policy of the Central government. I have made a detailed representation to the Prime Minister regarding them yesterday," Modi said.
"I had earlier warned the Central government regarding the tsunami effect of the global meltdown," Modi said.
"Our major concern is workers of diamond industry. We have offered them jobs under Rural Employment Guranttee Scheme," Modi said.
Speaking about the Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors' Summit-09, Modi said that this can turn out to be an opportunity for the state. "This is a historic event as for the first time a developed country like Japan and its government will be partner a state of India in development process," Modi said.
