I want to do small things, for small people, and to make the small people big...
The coming decade belongs to the right of the poor and the marginalised. The BJP is very clear on that.
Economic freedom is very important for women empowerment. They must be partners in economic development also. I have seen that women are very good at adapting to latest technology. We should link women and technology up-gradation.
Our Matru Shakti is our pride. Women empowerment is very crucial to our development.
If you have compassion for society, only then will the events of your life, sow seeds of revolution in it...
What is Gujarat? You and I are Gujarat, friends! If we read, Gujarat will read. Let us all read. Where there are 5.5 crore Gujaratis, that is my Gujarat and where each Gujarati reads, that is my Vanche Gujarat. Let us move forward with this fervour.
You must think about building a 'granth-mandir' in your village. Why is your village lacking such a 'granth-mandir'? Start with 50 books...100 books.
Even small efforts to bring about a change in the social fabric eventually reap large fruits.
Many celebrations are set to take place in Swarnim Gujarat. However, if one asks me, "As the Chief Minister, which is your favourite programme?" Then friends, I would like to say that 'Vanche Gujarat' is the closest to my heart.
If the 21st Century is the era of knowledge and of knowledgeable human-force, then, to extol this force, Gujarat must form a strong bond with books.
National festivals should become festivals of development. Republic Day or Independence Day should not be only about unfurling the Tricolour in the state capitals. We have to make them opportunities of Lok Shikshan (Mass Education).
Allocating budgets will not suffice. We need to make focused efforts at developing the tribal belt of Gujarat
Our culture is our strength be it music, dance, poetry or anything, and these are very precious.
Development seems to have become the agenda only of government. It is seen as a scheme. That should not be the case. Development should be everyone`s agenda. It should be a people's movement.
