GANDHINAGAR: The state government has always tomtommed its efforts in turning sick public sector units (PSU) into profitable ventures. A review of three years of CAG reports paints a different picture. During this period, state PSUs incurred losses worth Rs 4216.53 crore and infructuous investment of Rs 300.98 crore, which were controllable with better management.

The aggregate accumulated profits of all 60 PSUs stood at Rs 169.34 crore as per their latest finalized accounts as on March 31, 2011.

List of loss-making companies include Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation (Rs 159.74 crore), Gujarat State Financial Corporation (Rs 156.91 crore) and Alcock Ashdown Limited (Rs 131.44 crore).

The CAG report also says four power distribution companies or DISCOMs in Gujarat failed to utilize central funds worth Rs 135.33 crore till March 2011. It further says the increase in the distribution capacity during 2006-11 could not match the pace of growth in consumer demand in all the DISCOMs as a whole as well as in Dakshin Gujarat Vij Company Limited (DGVCL) and Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Limited ( PGVCL).

Improper management of feeders in three divisions caused losses of Rs 42.08 crore. The yet-to-be-tabled CAG report says state-owned ship-building company Alcock Ashdown (Gujarat) Limited is exposed to probable losses worth Rs 96.42 crore by imprudently accepting a contract. Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Limited incurred avoidable expenditure of Rs 9.95 crore due to imprudent selection of a firm and noncommissioning of ash collection system.

Times View

Chief minister Narendra Modi has a relatively clean image when it comes to political corruption. It is another matter that his government has cleverly avoided or actively resisted the appointment of a Lokayukta for the last over seven years. In such a situation, the Comptroller and Auditor General's reports are the only way to pin-point financial irregularities. It has been an unhealthy practice of the present state government to submit the CAG report only on the last day of the state assembly. A clean government should have nothing to hide. These deliberate attempts to avoid a free debate on the subject only evokes suspicion.

Govt.'s companies are always loss making here.Govt. can't handle every company properly + the corruption done by govt. employees are well known."©I don't understand why only Gujarat's report is highlighted ?? Infact, most of the states would have same situation I guess."©Highlight CAG reports of Maharashtra, Delhi, TN, WB, Karnataka, Rajsthan.You will find loss, loss and loss."©"Jis desh ka Raja Vepari, uss desh ki Praja Bhikhari.""©Kahavat is anti-Left but very true....

i dont think many PSUs can survive in this highly competetive world. so Gujrat is no different. but one remark is important.

It has been an unhealthy practice of the present state government to submit the CAG report only on the last day of the state assembly. A clean government should have nothing to hide. These deliberate attempts to avoid a free debate on the subject only evokes suspicion.

CAG audit is for benefit of the state and central Govt. by presenting CAG repot on last day isnt Mr Modi running away from health public debate.

Healthy public debate ?? Congis make a lot of ruckus in Assembly.Everyday these morons come up with new baseless allegations, use very low level language for Modi.Foul language is the only thing come out from their mouths.Modi never argue with these morons.These people don't even know what a healthy debate is.Shouting, alleging, making nuisance are their habit.They don't even know basic things and gujju media was already bought by congress a long ago.So don't expect anything from them.

Why did TOI give their view on the Shee Modi and Maha Gujarat. I have never seen them give thier views when it came to all the Congress initiated scams, nor do they give their views on other state matters. It has now become very clear that TOI, NDTV etc. ar being paid by the UPA to tarnish the good image of Shree Modi and the NDA. Its so sad that even after so many centuries we still continue to live under a defacto Mornarchy and Italian occupation of the Parliament. Its sad to be an Indian now a days.

Show how ignorant and brainwashed you are. All the states have PSUs running at a loss. The matter is how it is being handled by the State. In case of Gujarat,Modi tries to help by encouraging new industries and tries to overcome the debt produced by the PSUs with the revenue generated by other industries. Some industries ave to be run even if run on a loss. Ex. Postal department(not saying it is a loss making one, but take for instance) has to run no matter how mush loss it incurs.

And the state of the PSUs is no measure of a state's progress. You do know that Gujarat is growing 50% faster than rest of India right?

And they we will turn us into Bigger Pukistan, excellent suggestion:thumb:

Gujarat Assembly election is in year end. Expect many such news. As far as PSU, Most of them will always in loss irrespective of state. As far as Pvt company, Most of them shifting or already shifted to Gujarat which will translate healthy growth of the state, more employment, revenue for state and better standard of life!!

But still behind Maharashtra:

The Economic Survey of 2011-12 has thrown up a mixed bag for Gujarat in the sphere of Human Development, an area the state administration and political leadership has been struggling to do better in because of widespread condemnation.

The Survey said Gujarat's schoolchildren were reading better (although stagnating in arithmetic), and model schools were being built in backward areas at a scale that bettered most other states.

In parameters concerning economic growth, infant mortality and birth and death rates, the state has fared better than the national average, though marginally in most cases except economy.

Economy-wise, Gujarat was India's third fastest growing state in the second half of the last decade (10.31 per cent), but citizens of nine other states bore healthier babies, 10 states appeared to have better family planning programmes and four states appeared to have a healthier set of citizens (if death rate is considered a measurement).

Interestingly, being a citizen of one of the fastest growing economies does not appear to mean the average Gujarati is doing better economically — citizens (rural and urban) of nine other major states have higher monthly expenditures.

Gujarat is still among the top states in India regarding HDI if not the best. And no, Modi has done a better job in the growth of Gujrat, than most idiots have done. And he is a futuristic leader with great vision unlike the short sighted idiots we have in other parts of the country.

And No, he can magically "GEEM BOOM BAAH" the state residents into abandoning the society's ills like discrimination of the girl child. And no He cant geem boom baah the Human development. It is a slow process and no one is claiming he will turn Guj into US in a few hours. Only an idiot will say that is possible and will cry that it is not achieved yet

And next time , the paid media should blame the death of a Girl for love failure in Gujarat on Modi:taunt1:, (probably you too if you think he is responsible for every tom, dick and harry's mistakes)

Seriously mate.Where did you get that info?

Do they brainwash people so much?

India Human Development Report, 2011, prepared by Institute of Applied Manpower Research, placed Kerala on top of the index for achieving highest literacy rate, quality health services and consumption expenditure of people.

Delhi, Himachal Pradesh and Goa were placed at second, third and fourth position respectively.

The report said Gujarat fares the worst in terms of overall hunger and nutrition among the industrial high per capita income states.

Reacting to the findings, Ramesh said increased focus should be laid on health and nutrition during the 12th Plan period even as he lauded the growth in the education sector.

"On nutrition, I am puzzled as to why high rate of malnutrition continue to persist even in pockets of high economic growth," he said referring to findings of Gujarat. The minister said total expenditure on sanitation has been only one-tenth of the resources allocated for the water sector. Ramesh attributed the positive growth in education to Central "interventions" like Sarva Sikshya Abhiyan and RTE.
