Gujarat Launches GRIT for 'Viksit Gujarat @ 2047'

The Gujarat government has announced the creation of GRIT, a think tank modeled on the NITI Aayog, aimed at transforming the state into a developed region by 2047. Chaired by Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, GRIT will develop strategies for economic growth, governance, and sectoral improvements.

The Gujarat government on Tuesday unveiled the Gujarat State Institution for Transformation (GRIT), an initiative aimed at realizing the state's vision of becoming developed by 2047. Modeled after the NITI Aayog, the think tank has already crafted a comprehensive vision document and roadmap, 'Viksit Gujarat @ 2047.'

Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel will serve as the chairman of GRIT's governing body, with the Finance Minister as vice-chairman, and ministers from agriculture, health, education, and industry as members. GRIT aims to review the implementation of its task force's recommendations to achieve a five-trillion-dollar economy.

The ten-member executive committee of GRIT will be responsible for its daily operations, led by its CEO. The governing body will include senior officials and experts in various fields. GRIT will recommend strategies for balanced economic growth and review successful policies nationally and internationally to foster development.
