Summary: inadequate, and the state lags behind the country in forest cover. The Perspective Plan for Gujarat focuses on agricultural and irrigation programs, with a significant outlay dedicated to these sectors. The plan also emphasizes power, industry, and transport, with a balanced approach towards social services and other programs. Efforts are made to reach the common man and weaker sections of society, with programs aimed at relieving unemployment, improving education, and providing basic amenities. Additional resources are sought to enhance the outlays for the Fifth and Sixth Plan periods to achieve the targeted development goals for the state. The plan envisions a comprehensive strategy for sustainable development, economic growth, and social well-being in Gujarat, aligning with the broader national objectives of progress and prosperity.
