AHMEDABAD: Amid business sentiment across sectors getting dampened after demonetisation,
Gujarat
seems to be banking on upcoming
Vibrant Gujarat
Summit to soothe the nerves of corporate world. To be inaugurated by Prime Minister
Narendra Modi, the 8th edition of the biennial summit from January 10-13 will be the most exciting and bigger than investment events organised by other states, top government officials claimed.
"The upcoming summit will be the most exciting event in India. It will be bigger than all the previous summits (since 2003) and exceed by far similar investment events in other states," J N Singh, chief secretary, Gujarat government said while briefing the media on Saturday.
Despite investment and business being the core of this summit, the government maintained that there would be no negative impact of demonetisation. "I do not see any impact of demonetisation as the investments during the summit are committed considering the long-term horizon and not short-term," Singh opined.
Mega events such as Nobel Laureate Exhibition, Global CEO Round Table Conference, Global Trade Trade Show as well as country and state seminars have been organised as part of the Gujarat's flagship investment event, a brainchild of Modi when he was the chief minister of the state. Apart from inaugurating these events, the PM will also break ground for redevelopment of Gandhinagar railway station and kick start the
Bombay Stock Exchange's (BSE) International Exchange at GIFT City on January 9.
