ગુજરાતનાં શહેરોમાં ઝડપી ઔદ્યોગિક વિકાસ થવાથી રાજ્્ય સમ ૃદ્ધ બન્્યયુું છે . તેમાં સરકારની
નીતિઓની મોટી ભ ૂમિકા છે . આથી ઉદ્યોગોને ઝડપી અને અસરકારક વાહનવ્્યવહાર,
સંદેશાવ્્યવહાર, બેેંકોની સગવડ તેમજ નાણાકીય મદદ મળે છે . રાજ્્યમાં વિદે શી રોકાણ વધ્્યયુું છે .
વર્ષોથી સત્તાધારી પક્ષોએ ઘણી ઉજ્્જવળ તકો નવા અને પરં પરાગત ઉદ્યોગપતિઓને પ ૂરી પાડી
છે . આ ઉપરાંત, બાંધકામ ક્ષેત્ર સાથે સંકળાયેલા કામદારો માટે એક ખાસ યોજના શરૂ કરવામાં
આવી છે . તેમાં પૌષ્્ટટિક અને સારી ગુણવત્તાવાળો ખોરાક રાહત દરે આપવામાં આવે છે .
વધુ મહિલાઓને રોજગારી આપવી એ નોોંધપાત્ર આર્્થથિક વિકાસ તરફનુ ં એક વિશાળ પગલું છે .
આથી ગુજરાતના તમામ જિલ્્લલાઓમાં ઔદ્યોગિક તાલીમ સંસ્્થથાઓ સ્્થથાપવામાં આવી છે . નોકરી-
મેળાઓની સફળતાને કારણે, યુવાનોમાં હવે બેરોજગારીની સંભાવના ઓછી છે .
