where chilies were cultivated. Due to a bumper harvest the prices
of chilly fell and the village’s incomewas reduced to only Rs. 3 lakh.
When the Jyotigram Yojana became a reality, the people decided
to allow the green chilli to become red chilli by using technology,
packed it well and this gave them an income of Rs. 18 lakh!
“This is entrepreneurship- how you market things,” declared
Shri Modi. He went on to say, “We are a state with minimum

maximum steel. We do not have coal but are the largest producer
of electricity.” The Chief Minister affirmed that earlier Gujaratis
were the best tourists but nowGujarat is also a tourist destination
in its own right be it Ran Utsav or the festival at Saputara.
