While receiving the awards presented by Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh here, she said 'Gatisheel Gujarat' (speeding Gujarat) has become a development mantra in the state.
She said Gujarat's innovative techniques and holistic approach, premised on the mission mode scale in agriculture and other human index indicators, has led to "Gatisheel Gujarat", according to a statement issued by the state government.
Gujarat has been a frontrunner in implementing "Swachh Bharat Abhiyan" and is committed to make the state defecation free in near future with 100 percent individual household toilets, she said.
The state bagged the awards for 'Overall Performance', 'Best State for Investment' and 'Cleanliness' at the function where chief ministers of some other states were also present.
Patel said it was the best moment for Gujarat to get this recognition as World Bank has also ranked the state as best investment friendly in India in its 2015 report on Indian states.
