Gujarat is an industrially advanced state. It is my personal opinion, i have seen many christian institutions in the remotest areas. In Gujarat, there are temples right upto the border. They serve free food for several people every day!! So far we have heard different views on the secular situation inside Gujarat. As i spoke to our cab driver Yukob, in Ahmadabad, he was saying that things are are not secular there. he had some strong opinion on Modi as a secularist.
The road infrastructure is fantastic through out the kutch region. There are industries right up to the border with Pakistan. It was starting period for Sankrati Sales. In Ahmadabad i noticed several designs of kite, thread for flying kite prepared in the rood. Today is Sankranti, i am sure folks would have had fun this week on their annual kite festival...
The kutch region has grown massively from the last known devastating earth quake. it is thinly populated as well. Forts were damaged, some of the poorest construction were also damaged. You can see the remains of it even now.
Their people use small jeep, share autos for their local transport. They are seeing money in every sand, brick, water in that region...
In Kavda, SETU was involved in educating students, teachers and localities on computers and its related technology, there are medical sessions every month, evening sessions for teachers, villagers, they also help people to fill all government forms online. As i spoke to Sameer, he was saying SETU's difficultly in requesting people to send their children for school. It gave me rememberance of SWADES.
I will come back to Kutch to see these places once again...
We were heading to Barmer in Rajasthan.

" Modi as secularist " - Forget about these. Write about things that are interesting ! Infrastructure wise, do you think gujarat is as good as TN ?
If you traveled in TN recently, it is heaven in road infrastructure. The extend Quadrangle project is one of the best.
With just 2 cities visit (Ghandhidham and Ahmedabad), i can only say there are lot many industries in Ghandhidham. People are business minded compared to us in TN. i guess is they are industrialist for long time, their state govt has been supporting with infrastructure projects for a long time to aide these industries. TN has started matching it now, we need to improve on electricity availability!
So, you effectively say road and other facilities are better in Gujarat. That is actually a news to me. Offcourse, i know about the power situation in TN
Mani, have u been to Gujarat before?
