Drawing attention to Gujarat's template of governance, efficient public expenditure, decentralization, and participatory planning, this book relates the growth and development of this Indian state. Asserting that development is a result of the perceptible improvement in social sectors as well as of vibrant industry, it states the facts about the Gujarat model and explains how it has implications for other Indian states. Gujarat's macroeconomic growth was built through education, health, water, electricity, and roads, and this record reveals how these benefits have trickled down and how deprived segments have been main-streamed.
