It is also the role model state for rest of India innermost Infrastructure Projects, Tourism and Economy. Gujarat state has ancient history of Indus Valley Civilization, world’s first seaports Lothal and an archaeological site Dholavira. Gujarat is located on the western coast of the Indian Peninsula. It has the longest coastline in the country of about 1600 kms. Therefore, Gujarat plays host to foreign trade and is a natural ‘Gateway’ to the fast growing economy. Based on primary data analysis of the State Human Development and the District Human Development Reports. Gujarat presents an example of a state with immense economic potential and this potential can be recognized by enhancing human capabilities and expanding people participation at all levels. The Human Development Report, 2022 itself recognizes that the principle of universalism is one thing and converting it into its application is another. The idea of development has been introduced in economic planning and policy, however, Gujarat's impressive growth record offers an apt time to introspect and institutionalize such an expansive notion of development.
