The Gujarat government will launch the all new version of Gujarat government before the global community in the next Vibrant Gujarat Summit (VGS) to be held in January 2019. It will be presented with the catchline 'Gujarat 2.0' that will showcase a developed state instead of a fast-developing state. The government will present not only the potential of Gujarat but also achievements of the state.

Sources in the government said, "In this Vibrant Gujarat Summit, Gujarat will not be presented as what potential Gujarat has for development on the basis of promises of assistance or the future developments in infrastructure. We will present Gujarat of the year 2022 in next edition of the event. The state where projects like DMIC, GIFT City, SIRs, Dedicated Freight Corridor, bullet train, international airports, metro rail, and many more will be operational."

"Till the Vibrant Gujarat Summit 2017, Gujarat was also on the receiving end in the bilateral deal and the picture of ongoing development was put before the world. But Gujarat 2.0 will put Gujarat at the level of developed states that have all infrastructure readily available. This is almost a new version of Gujarat that has accomplished the process of development and is still touching new heights," the sources said.

The state government and especially industries and mining department have started work on this. A presentation has been made before Chief Minister Vijay Rupani for the next VGS. The state government has also put stress on completion of pending infrastructure projects.

A senior official in the government said, "This new edition of Gujarat 2.0 will change the image of Gujarat. We were projecting the state as a preferred destination for investment, but now with Gujarat 2.0, the state government will focus on partnering with different entities for international projects in various fields."

A miniature model of developed Gujarat 2.0 will be displayed at Vibrant Gujarat Summit.
